Verizon has just begun rolling out Android 4.4 KitKat for the Motorola Moto X. Verizon! KitKat! Moto X!

I can’t quite believe it, either.

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.

Motorola said shortly after unveiling the Moto X that the handset wouldn’t be coming to Europe — but it seems the company may be changing its mind following the handset’s successful start in the United States.

Motorola has confirmed that the new Moto G will ship with Android 4.4 KitKat when it goes on sale in the United States early next year. Those who have already bought a Moto G — or plan to in the coming weeks — will be upgraded to KitKat by the end of January.

The wait is finally over for loyal Republic Wireless customers. The operator has officially announced that it’s now offering Motorola’s flagship smartphone of 2013, the Moto X, on its website and in any of its many stores nationwide.
