article published on 16 November, 2013

Earlier this week, Google took the wrapping off its Moto G device, an entry-level smartphone that the company hopes will help it dominate the low-cost market. Google has priced that device at $179 off-contract and unlocked, making it easily one of the best deals for an Android phone, ever.

Already seen the specs, and they are not bad. And again, I already bought a Galaxy S3 (admittedly, used) for $173; would you care to speculate on the price for a used Moto G?

I don't care one whit about crud like "Active Notifications", "Quick Capture", or "Touchless Control", thanks but no thanks; it wouldn't be long before I installed CyanogenMod, anyhow. Apparently, that's pretty much ALL I'd be missing. Sure, I imagine the CPUs clock speed will be lower than the flagship Moto X, the screen is lower resolution, it has less memory, etc. So? Those stats are just fine for just about all purposes. It'll even run games reasonably well, at least compared to even mid-high range phones from only a year ago.

I'll certainly wait to see direct reviews of the phone, but silly aphorisms won't affect my decision, one way or the other.
