The immensely popular U.S. carrier, Verizon Wireless, is offering customers an opportunity to grab either a white or black Moto X completely free of charge on any of its 2 year contracts. Unfortunately, this deal is not available for those wishing to use MotoMaker, but it’s still a pretty good offer.

Lots of rumors have been bandied around over the past week or so, highlighting Sony’s upcoming Xperia Z1 variant, the Z1S, and yesterday a leaked image was published on a Chinese website revealing the much-anticipated device in all its glory.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Gear back in September as a companion device for its flagship Android-powered smartphone of 2013, the Galaxy Note 3.

However, if your didn’t have the opportunity or the wherewithal to pick one up at the time, it might be of interest to know that you can currently grab the slate for $179.
