One of the most interesting Cyber Monday deals out there was the $349 off-contract Moto X offer announced by Motorola a few days ago, but interested customers were not able to complete their purchases as the company’s MotoMaker website caved under traffic pressure.
Our website is down due to traffic & we're working quickly to restore it. Watch here for updates & for when our Cyber Monday deal starts.

We’re currently restoring online services. Some may have site-access, but Cyber Monday deal prices won’t begin until all systems are a go.

The $349 Moto X was supposed to be available starting with 9AM EST, but Motorola’s website went down prompting the company to announce at around 10 AM EST on Google that Moto X sales will be stopped in order for full access to be restored to the website.
At the time this article was written, Motorola’s MotoMaker website was still down, see following image:
The company did not provide any useful details on Twitter about these delays. In fact, the company decided to promote an event hosted with Wired after first tweeting about the problem.
Five hours after first admitting the traffic issues its website was facing, Motorola said that Moto X Developer Editions started selling in both CDMA and GSM versions. One hour later, the company announced that the CDMA Developer Editions model has been sold out. But Motorola did not say when the Cyber Monday Moto X deal will be resumed.
We’re still working on MotoMaker, but Moto X Dev Editions are now available in VZW CDMA and GSM! http://t.co/dPDKozFVAc

Looks like Moto X CDMA Dev Editions just sold out. There are still a few GSM versions available. More to come on our Moto Maker deal!
