Are you wondering if the Moto X buzz is translating into sales? Word is that Motorola's Texas plant is shipping 100,000 Moto X phones per week. If you're doing the math, that's roughly 5 million units annually. It remains to be seen if they can continue on this pace or even if the pace will increase once other carriers adopt the Motomaker customized ordering process.

Don't forget, the Moto X is only available in the U.S. so these numbers aren't bad. The plant can produce “tens of millions” of phones per year according to Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside, so capacity shouldn't be an issue.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
