Lost my nexus 4 a few months ago. Need a replacement phone for about a year. Just ordered the 16gig from orange. Cant wait !

 

[Azbubu]

Any idea if the carriers will be bringing this?

 

[ahoudet]

Probably not

DHL phoned me earlier on to confirm my ID number so I am guessing my Moto G is not too far away. I think customs might have a bit of a backlog of work but here's hoping that I can get my phone this week!

This was over Christmas (with my spare personal sim), so moderately low use, however no power saving used (data on, wifi on, location services on, some calls, messaging and plenty email).

I've had a number of Android phones (including a few Galaxy models, s2, 2 x s3 and an s4), this has been the first Android phone I'm happy to keep and actually use.

But without SOT battery stats don't tell the whole story

According to CNET :

The processor is slow, and the phone comes with a maximum of 16GB of storage and no LTE. The phone’s screen is dim and lacks contrast and vivid colors. The Moto G’s camera takes blurry photos without much detail.

Can you confirm the last two?

This is true for most mid range phones. BUT this is undoubtedly the best mid range smartphone you can get.

To the people ordering on Orange, what is the warranty like and who honours it, Motorola or Orange?

Just read the Engadget review (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/26/moto-g-review/) seems to be a really good phone for the price. If the warranty is good, I wouldn't mind one.

Anyone receive Kitkat yet? It was released for the UK today.

Eh? Whats a drunkard got to do with telling you a story?

It was quite simple, charge to 100%, take off the charger and use the phone every now and then, have a look at the screen and think "that's better than expected", click screenshot.

I believe the phone internals have a coating that is supposed to resist a mild splash, more so than other smartphones barring those with IP67 standards such as the Xperia models.

My moto G just arrived here. Brilliant little phone for the price. Camera is not that great, but i knew that before purchasing. The rest is great for a phone under R3k.

Still waiting for 4.4 kitkat update. . . . . . . .

Also received mine today and also no Kitkat yet. Which provider are you using? This little phone is a beast, very fast and snappy despite the 1GB of RAM. The camera...well, if I take 50 photos a year with my phone that's a lot so I am not too fazed

Did you order yours from Orange?
