    Anything is better than that! Jesus, the 3G is ancient at this stage! An antique. :D

    Really? I didn't see it on the shelves last night, and this morning (9am) I asked at the customer service desk and they said they had no Motorola at all.

    I think I still have an iPhone 2G in a drawer somewhere. They should get together sometime and reminisce about the good old days before the war with the Androids. :D

    Seriously though, if you have any inclination at all to buy this then go for it. You won't regret it.

    I picked up one in Killarney this morning as upgrade to my mother's phone and cannot believe how nice it is for the money.
    Full Disclosure: I am somewhat biased as I use a second gen Moto X myself, and the similarity in the E is obviously appealing to me. But I honestly think this is hands down the best value I have ever seen in a smartphone deal euro for euro.

    Wha?
    Even better than the Smart Turbo 4 for €30?

    Definitely saw them last night. All the phones there are mixed up by the TV's at the back of the store. Go hunting there and you'll find one.

    If you get it unlocked and stick another sim in it. How do you get the google updated for it. Do they come from Tesco, and/or do you need to stick the tesco sim in it to get it to work?

    They'll be pushed to the phone itself, doesn't matter what network you are on when it is updated.

    Plenty in Gorey tonight, they were marked 129.99 but scanned at 59.99, that's probably why there was so many.

    Are you sure they are the Moto E 4g as tesco were selling off the Moto E a couple of months ago for 49.99.

    Definitely the newer 2015 4g model. It's model number XT1524. The older model was XT1021.

    Just on the blessington road. To clarify, it scanned at 59 but the bar code on the shelf was 49 so they gave it to me for 49

    Got on there in Tesco metro in Naas town, there was at least one left on the shelf.
    Put my vodafone sim in before turning it on & it works fine without the unlock code

    I saw €49 and €59 versions (advertised but out of stock) in a couple of Tescos this morning. From what I see above one of them would have been a 4g model and the other a non-4g model. Apart from the obvious difference (presence/absence of 4g support) are they the same phone, or is one years older and an entirely different spec?

    Given that the phones aren't advertised online and the staff generally don't know a whole bunch about them, is there any way to tell what you're actually buying in advance of buying it? The XT codes aren't marked on the outside of the box from what I remember.

    I don't use data much (and not for anything speed sensitive), so as far as I can tell I don't need 4g, so I may as well save the extra €10 unless someone says the €49 one is rubbish compared to the €59 one.

    Don't suppose you saw any in Dublin? Desperately seeking one of these at present.

    It's on the box of the one I bought anyway, XT1524, staff didn't know of price reduction, maybe a typo in head office.

    It said 4g on the bottom right corner on the front of the box
    Also the xt code was on the sticker on the side, hard to spot though

    Main difference is screen size 4.5 inch on 2nd gen, 4.2 on first,2nd gen is also running lollipop and has gorilla glass.My OH has the first gen and it a nice little phone certainly not rubbish but for an extra tenner the 2nd gen is well worth it
