I hate to keep telling you that you are a genius for waiting to buy the Moto X, but at this point, you really are starting to look like one. From the beginning, many of you held off from buying the black or white woven versions that were sold directly through carriers as you waited for MotoMaker customizations to leave their exclusivity on AT&T.
