So it's currently impossible to get the phone locally. Dammit :/ And here I was getting ready to sell my SIII Mini and get a Moto G from Orange. This is one of those times where I wished I lived somewhere more technologically friendly. Why is it always so difficult?

To those that already have one, what's it like? As good as it looks? Because it looks amazing.

Can someone please tell me if it is possible to get into the bootloader if your moto g is turned of by holding down the 2 volume buttons and inserting the USB port while still holding the volume buttons down?

Got a broken power button here, can't let the battery die.... Please help me out...

The price doesn't include taxes and import duties, wonder how much it would be.

14% import VAT but no import duty on cellphones if this is correct: http://www.dutycalculator.com/popular-import-items/import-duty-and-taxes-for-cellphone/

Doesn't look too bad.

They seem to be quite active on fb and twitter. e.g. https://twitter.com/JadoPado

And if this is anything to go by http://www.scamadviser.com/is-jadopado.com-safe.html it kinda looks legit.
Here is an example of an obvious scam site: http://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/www.southafrica-rayban.com

Nice to hear, if you add 14% to that prices it is still dirt cheap. Definitely something to look at for those people still wanting a moto G!

I'm thinking of getting one, the prices are insane for the specs and it's really all I need. Will browse through the thread later to see the opinions. I've checked a lot of reviews, and most of the guys are just stunned when they use it, they don't expect the quality of build and the performance for the price.

Thinking of getting the red one, 16Gb dual sim :D

I read through the tread, I see it's not available in SA anymore. I don't know about the taxes, but if you guys can figure that out, JadoPado is legit and you don't have to worry about them :)

So far from the opinions, it seems that everybody is loving this phone. The only downside I can see is the camera, but I don't really care about that. Nowadays I mostly send messages and call, so I just want something with a decent battery and a nice screen, which this has, at a AMAZING price. :D
