TELUS has yet given another very rare opportunity by Motorola after its successful attempt in bringing the Moto G to the top of the charts. Way back last year, Rogers was the exclusive distributor of the original Moto X, but because of poor sales due to ineffective marketing strategy, the result was way below the expected sale quota. This time, the responsibility is already in the hands of TELUS, as it was announced very recently in Chicago that the said carrier will be the launch partner for the new Moto X. The new flagship of Motorola will be offered in black and bamboo variants through TELUS. As for the pricing, the said carrier has not yet confirmed about it, although U.S. carriers have priced it at $99 on contract and $499 outright, so we will anticipate TELUS to set the range at the similar level. TELUS also has not yet confirmed for its specific availability but it assures public that the Moto X will be released this coming fall, so better watch out for more updates. Tho...
