Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got the 16GB global GSM version direct from Motorola instead of Amazon as they were shipping faster but here it goes anyway. The phone feels well built, of quality materials and it handles well (can almost be use one-handed). I would have preferred the power button on top but it still better than having it on the left. Pros - good quadcore processor handles tasks easily given the 1GB of RAM - not much fluff on top of Android4.3 and guaranteed update to 4.4 - good looking screen with vibrant colors and great resolution/DPI - built-in FM radio (yes, I'm old-fashioned but it was a must for me) - camera is decent for a phone - LED is powerful enough and makes a good spot for using as flashlight - built in compass is fairly precise and does not jump around much Cons - no SD card (this is more of a fault to me since I like to put loads of music on my phone and thus only 4 star rating. You get ~12GB free with the 16GB version) - no 4G (I get 8Mbits/second in San Jose, CA using 3G though which is sufficient to watch Neflix without a hitch) Update to cons: the new LTE version of the MotoG fixes both these cons with the slight caveat that SD card capacity is limited to 32GB. I think 64GB should have been a minimum. Edit1: despite what the description says in San Jose, CA using T-mobile prepaid I am not limited to 2G service. Actually 3G speeds are quite good as noted above. More than enough for me. Edit2: reordered cons from my point of view Edit3: as of 12/25/2013 firmware was updated to Android 4.4.2. Edit4: as of 06/07/2014 firmware was updated to Android 4.4.3.
