Thanks guys

BenEadir · 15-11-2013 12:34pm

Looks like a great value phone.

Is this or will this be 4G compatible?

Ben

Ivefoundgod · 15-11-2013 12:43pm

No, its 3G only. Little point in having 4G/LTE in the markets this is likely to be popular in. Even those in developed markets who have 4G plans are highly unlikely to use this phone.

Anyone know/estimate when these will ship from amazon?

marcbrophy · 15-11-2013 3:16pm

Stacks up nicely VS the Nexus 4 alright! Even has an FM radio

Ivefoundgod · 15-11-2013 3:19pm

Phones4u have a shipping date of 11/12/2013. I would assume Amazons date is something similar.

BionicRasher · 15-11-2013 4:42pm

Gets a 10 out of 10 which is rare enough

Two quick questions;

Would this be a step up in performance over the iphone 4? The lag with ios7 is killing me.

Does this take the same size SIM card as the iphone 4? I can't find details on that anywhere.

I would be very surprised if it wasn't far better performance. The Camera might not be as good, hard to know yet.

Yes, micro sim card in both.

pickarooney · 15-11-2013 8:49pm

I'd really consider this if there was a 32GB model (or SD slot). Apart from the limited storage it looks excellent.

bert911 · 15-11-2013 10:59pm

Aldi might be selling a similar spec phone to the moto G http://aldi.medion.com/md98272/be_nl/?refPage=aldi

Some guy has 5 of them for sale on adverts, had I not splashed out on the nexus 5 I'd probably nab one.

Friend in Belgium got one a few weeks back and loves it! Says it comes with a two or three added (bloated) apps but thats about it, mostly stock after that.
Using the old Terga 3 SOC CPU @1.3 GHz (think Nexus 7 2012) so moto G has it slashed there with it's Snapdragon 400. It does have room for an SD card and comes with a 4GB one in the box as well as black and white back covers and removable battery.

He paid 199 for it so it's not bad for what you're getting I guess but if it came down to getting this or moto G, I would be getting the Moto G as I don't think it will be getting the 4.4 but I could be wrong and the CPU is newer.

But yea a nice phone for the price

€200 for the 8gb model?! I'd rather wait than buy when I could get the 16gb from Amazon for same price after delivery.

True, but if you are impatient like I am it might be worth it.

wotzgoingon · 20-11-2013 2:04am

4.4 released for this phone. That was quick not even out on all nexus devices.

No it's released now, read it on flipboard. I'm on phone now so can't give link.

Edit. It's actually moto X. Sorry for confusion

projectgtr · 20-11-2013 1:07pm

Has anyone seen the shells for sale ? I'm getting this for the missus and the pink shell would go down well xmass morning. If not the white will have to do.

I'm also in the market for a shell or shells. Still no update on when these are being shipped I take it?

Haven't seen any might just get her the white one and buy the pink one when launched, least then she can decide over a shell a flip shell or the official case.

Sonics2k · 20-11-2013 1:59pm

Anyone found a store that sells this yet?

I've confirmed that O2 have no plans to stock it sadly.

Sonics2k · 20-11-2013 2:43pm

Never mind. Just stopped into CPW and they said they won't be stocking any of them.

Quite annoyed by this.

ThisRegard · 20-11-2013 3:03pm

Amazon have the shells, with the message saying something along the lines of will be dispatched in 1 - 2 months.

Meteor seem to be the only ones that will be stocking it but no dates confirmed yet

3 sells these shells by the 3 store.

When you say the white one you mean the white shell? There is no white phone as far as I know, just the black one with a white case on the back. I know phones4u give a free white case with the phone allright.

that is sold by save4shop. the sold by amazon is 20 pounds cheaper but i think about 1 month wait.

Zurbaran · 23-11-2013 8:22pm

I ordered an 8GB and a 16GB off amazon. As said up above the 16GB has an estimated delivery date but 8GB doesn't. Starting to get a bit worried about the 8GB not getting here before xmas as its gift. I'm not that far from the boarder so I'm wondering if I should cancel and get one from p4u?

MRTULES · 23-11-2013 10:11pm

Just wanted to make sure, can I just get these up north in phones4U.
Was going to be heading up next week so this would be very nice. Also, can I pick up a few? A couple of friends might be interested.
Thanks

christyden · 24-11-2013 9:49pm

Did anyone who reserved in Argos for tomorrow get a code? I got an email but no code...

christyden · 24-11-2013 11:24pm

Hi,

I gave up on amazon. I ordered this and they deliver in 48 hrs. Use parcel motel but you have to put your ID in words like two two five five etc.

129 sterling works out cheaper than amazon anyway.

Any further details on this? Their billing form seems to indicate that they don't deliver to "funny" addresses.

christyden · 25-11-2013 3:01pm

Phones 4 u a no go! Got email saying order was cancelled. Name and address must match the card used.

evifeno · 25-11-2013 8:06pm

Amazon updated their status to 'Preparing for Dispatch' for anyone who wants to know. Although they've been preparing for a while now...

That's a good sign surely?
A lot of times Amazon delivery early so here's hoping

Got an email this morning from Amazon. Expected arrival of the phone is the 3rd/4th of December. I pre ordered on the 14th of November for anyone that wants to know.

W00T yeah almost there!

Ivefoundgod · 26-11-2013 10:33am

Amazon have the 8GB in stock and ready to ship right now. Not sure how long they'll have stock so be quick if you want one. Still no change on the 16GB but I've got one pre-ordered and am in no rush as long as it comes before Christmas.
