Motorola unveils the affordable Moto G | ZDNet


not bad for $179, comes with kitkat.

$179 usd is not bad

given £135 = ~$216 and €169 = $238

It actually comes with 4.3 jelly bean. Kit kat update is scheduled for January.

Motorola Moto G - Full phone specifications

I got this phone for $150 on tab (koodo)
and a $75 gift card yesterday ..

most place give $75 gift card, LD and RCSS that I know off.

its a decent cheap phone in the $200-300 market. Comparable to the Nexus 4. I would highly reccommend this phone to anyone looking to enter the low priced android market.

I say it's more comparable to the HTC Desire 601.

this.

My Aunt just picked this up for $150 no contract/tab and I got a chance to play with it helping her set it up and unlock.

For the price the phone is super slick. Fast, nice quality feel, good materials. For basic email/surfing/video smartphone, this is a great choice.

You can also order it from Telus if you have a Teamstore login for $150

Looks like I'm finally upgrading from the 3.3" xperia ray :alonehappy:

anyone here pick one up from koodo??


Koodo Moto G 8GB $150 + $50 bonus gift ( The Mobile Shop additional $100 GC )..hot!! - RedFlagDeals.com Forums

if this worked with wind, i would have picked one up for my mom and dad. they want a basic smartphone, and this is an awesome price for a pretty decent phone.

Does anyone know where I can get this locally? (Other than craigslist of course) And how's the flexibility regarding unlocking of the device?

proper phone to be used in china should be Xiaomi or Meizu

Telus or Koodo. Unlocking is $5 USD off ebay and real easy, just put in foreign SIM and enter code.

That's good, cause I'm with telus :alonehappy:
Edit: went to the Telus location at oakridge. Sales rep says they aren't selling the Moto G straight up with no term contract (despite the Telus website offering it). Even though I'm with Telus...tells me I HAVE to either extend my contract or join a new one to attain the phone (@ $0, I just want to pay 179.99 for the damn thing) :fulloffuck:

Ugh, that's hogwash. I have to buy a US Moto G.
Mobilicity.. :(

I'm hoping this trend of cheap smartphones continue. My S3 is starting to show its age, :okay: but at least it's not on fire like the S4's :troll:

Motorola?s Moto G Gets A Google Play Edition, Still $179 And $199 Unlocked | TechCrunch

meizu & xiaomi are not available with my carry/network lol

i got a quick question, i will be getting this phone pretty soon & i will be rooting it/c-gen mod it (if possible), but would like to know if there is anything on kit-kat

& im on a cdma network, is that going to be a problem by any chances

ROM has nothing to do with carrier

I want to get this for my dad. Is Chinese a native language for selection or will I have to flash it with something from xda?

maybe consider the Nokia X? pre orders are selling like hot cakes in china now and its cheaper

Nokia X Gets Over 1 Million Pre-Orders in China : My Nokia Blog

but specs are worse than the moto

Best Budget Android Smartphone: Moto G vs Nokia X

I need something before I leave in April, or just to get it in HK. It's about $18xx HKD retail and only $150+tax here, so this was my first choice. Wanted to get him the red rice one from HK but stock is horrible to get a hold of, was considering it because it was cheap and had an elderly/magnified mode. This Moto G looks more reliable and longer lasting anyways. If it's needs flashing to another ROM to get Chinese on there, I need to do it sooner than later to make sure everything works.

About the Nokia X, I was reading how it'd be a poor experience w/o the GAPPs. Will wait for the reviews I guess.
