Moto G

Phone looks awesome for the price. Does anyone know if it will be coming to South Africa?

Helluva nice piece of kit.
Good specs, cheap - what more could you ask for?
Sub 3k here and I'd have it.

If it's anything like their Nexus 5 pricing, I don't expect it to be comparable to what the device should be sold for...

Indeed, Nexus 5 grossly overpriced!

Was just having a browse over there to see if there was any word on it and came here.

My thoughts exactly :erm:

I see that the S4 mini costs $500 off-contract in the US :erm:

So the Moto G is up for sale... Interesting. I might pick a few of these up for sale. Anyone keen?

Has it come to any South African networks yet?

Sounds pretty great. It really seems like the Moto G is the smartphone to get if you're a "normal" user who doesn't feel like shelling out for flagship specs.

None yet. One is able to order directly from Motorola, in fact, you can even order the Moto X from them...

How? I can't ship from their website to SA? They want a zip code

Use a mail forwarder, such as Shipito or PostBox Courier.

I see that Motorola have moved their Cyber Monday deal on the Moto X to tomorrow. With that, you are able to buy a Moto X for the cost of a Nexus 5, and it will be fully customised, too... Very tempting.

Anyone import one yet? Also is anyone planning on taking advantage of the cyber Monday deal the Moto x.

That's a good price considering what it would cost to import it.

Definetely - I may be getting myself a late 2013 or early 2014 gift to myself

Its an impressive phone. I bought one about a month ago in the UK. Its changed my whole outlook on android as its not bloated with apps from the company selling the phone.

They also say it will get 4.4 in January. But its a rock solid phone and won't be changing it any time soon.

Looks good! Going to stick with my blackberry till it gives up on me, 3 years strong so far. Any info on battery life?
Edit: the link to the orange site says 16gb but technical details say 8gb?

Ordered it today. The wife needed a new phone and the specs tell me it's about a good as my s3.

I saw on xda that the Moto G has been upgraded to Android 4.4.2.

I'm now awaiting my contract to end.
