Motorola Moto G - new budget smartphone champion?

lmfy2k · 18 Nov 2013 at 21:27

Here's my stats. Need to charge now for tomorrow...

This was also with 1 hour tethering to my Ipad.

Not sure if any good

pretty decent because tethering canes the battery bad on any phone.

I kept checking the Moto g whilst in tether mode and it never got even slighty warm, was impressed.

My lg g2 will be here soon so the Moto g will be put away as my spare. Should last me a few years

You can get these for £99.95 on Orange PAYG upgrade.

Sadly, not with my Orange PAYG SIM, though

Cant seem to find this PAYG?

So will the 16GB version hit before Xmas?

AndyCr15 · 20 Nov 2013 at 08:34

They say it will. I think in a week or so.

According to Phones 4 U website 16GB version will be available for delivery on 3/12

Tesco's are showing stock for both (£99 & £129) now, however they are listed as Tesco Mobile under PAYG, anybody have any idea what the are chances of this actually being locked to the Tesco network? Think I'm just going to order one anyway and return it if there is any issue with throwing my VM sim in there.

Edit: Ordered (£91 for the 16GB after throwing my club card vouchers at it, thank you Boost!), in store pick up tomorrow if it arrives before I have to go to work, otherwise I'll pick it up on Friday

I've ordered an 8GB @ £87.50 for my Dad's xmas pressie, will be nicer than his old DHD.

Pick up in-store tomorrow.

Locked to Tesco - so just bear that in mind.

Hotukdeals seem to think so.

But yeah Speculated I guess.

Wow that is a killer price from tesco. Hopefully xda will come to the rescue with an unlock method.

tesco is using O2's network ? if yes, then O2 cards should work in it ?

Rusty! · 20 Nov 2013 at 13:11

Nope, when Tesco lock them, they're actually locked to Tesco, so no O2 or Giffgaff.

Bargain! Don't forget to use those clubcard vouchers, phones are on boost atm so all you need is 50 squids worth for the free 8GB!
