If it wasn't for their 2 week lead times I would sell mine and go for it. Pity I need a phone for the holidays

I figured what the hell - also ordered my 2GB version from Orange.
My wife really likes the 1GB Moto G 3rd I currently have and she is not too happy with the P8 Lite she recently got on upgrade so I figured I'll let her have my 1GB and sell her P8 Lite : http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/786505-Huawei-P8-Lite

Also have the Moto G 1GB, would like to know if there's a noticeable difference to the 2GB.

I'll test them side by side once I have both.

K thanx so not worth R1000 for me, sticking to my 1gig model Esp seeing that with 6 I will be able to format the 64gig sd into the system storage.

Even though they seem close to each other I am sure going forward the 2GB one is more future proof. 1GB might cut it on Lollipop but that could change when Marshmallow arrives.

My MotoG (1st) is extremely slow on Lollipop. I use it for calls mainly now. I thought it was because of the memory

What are you running on your G1?
I used one until last week and was never "extremely" slow although it did sometimes take a second or 4 if you were switching around big apps with lots of stuff running in the background. Like say you have Sport-Tracker running and you switch between that, Chrome, Whatsapp, Facebook and your banking app.
Doing the same on the G3 is a lot faster, even with the same 1GB of RAM. The reason for that is the Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU is faster at reloading apps that were tomb stoned. The old Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 in the G1 was pretty snappy on Kitkat which is my point with regards to getting a 2GB G3.

What the hell! I asked Orange ZA on Facebook and they said they weren't getting the 16GB version ...

I guess they lied. Just hope I get my 2GB before I go on leave at the end of next week.

New iteration of Moto G out in India and Mexico. Moto G Turbo: www.androidheadlines.com/2015/12/moto-g-turbo-edition-launched-india-wednesday.html
The battery life on the G3 is amazing. The wife still plugs it in every night though :erm:
