When Motorola and AT&T launched the Moto X last Friday, one element of the order process was far from streamlined: you had to head into an AT&T store, purchase a credit for the phone, and then head back to your own computer to design it and complete the order through the Moto Maker website. That’s not the case anymore, as Motorola enabled online ordering today, allowing the entire purchase and design process to be completed in one location.
