"All day battery" - that really is the top selling point! Imagine that, a phone that works all day, no babysitting needed! People will flock in vast hordes to buy this baby, and just for this one feature.

FM radio for 'free' music? Where's the business model in that?. Don't tell me it's going to be ad supported.

$199 for an unlocked (or unlockable), contract-free 16 gig device? That's really outstanding. This may even cut into Nexus 5 sales. This may be the adrenaline shot that Motorola needs to get back into the game.

I hope this leads to a whole slew of similarly priced medium-to-high performing handsets. And assembled in the U.S., too. Congratulations to Motorola!

Wow, this is sort of like the Lumia 520 of the Android world. Awesome.

Truly impressive specs/build for the price. Can anyone shed light on whether $179 off-contract is low enough to be successful in its target markets (Brazil, Europe, Asia)?

I was very interested until I got to the part of no LTE support. That's a deal breaker for me. I had a Samsung S3 that I busted and opted for the Samsung S3 Mini at one point, and the lack of LTE cost me dearly. I literally couldn't browse the internet unless I was on Wifi.

I wonder if you'll be able to put Firefox OS on these. I've been wanting to play with that OS but the current devices offered for it are very underwhelming to try and push its limits.

Exceptional?

How about "A decent phone at a decent price."

WANT. I think I just found my next phone.

I'm worried that Moto might find itself in HTC's shoes: Making truly great phones that nobody buys anyway.

So.. what did they do to bring the price down? Take a hit and lose money on each phone sold to get gain relevance?

I'm really impressed, this is exactly what Google should be working toward. I remember them saying they're looking toward the next billion phones, and putting products like this and the Nexus 5 in their respective price points definitely looks like a move in the right direction.

Interesting, but this review shows there's no SD card, so I won't be buying it. http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/motorola-moto-g/4505-645...

Motorola Brazil seems to be down right now, probably updating for this phone.

I'm very anxious to see how much they will charge. The Moto X goes for R$ 1499.00 unlocked or US$ 645.

Electronics arrive here at ridiculous prices unfortunately.

The Playstation 4 will be released at a US$2,000.00 price point.

Come on, big screen with low resolution, weak CPU/GPU, reduced RAM - Samsung's approach to sell cheap phones which look like Galaxy S III/IV.

Is this what is called innovations nowadays?)

I wonder why they skipped the Xmas launch in the USA? Either way, I'm happy to be Canadian for once, this is seriously tempting.

Anyone knows the soundtrack of the youtube video?

How would this compare to an HTC One?

I have the nexus 4 right now, this might have to be my next phone.

Won't buy a phone that does not have an SD or microSD slot.

Unless Google is bundling this with an unlimited bandwidth cellular plan, 8GB/16GB are totally inadequate for anyone who hopes to create or consume audio/visual content.

this is low enough to buy one for the unused numbers on our company plan that are still in contract for whatever reason.

I won't purchase this phone because it comes with an operating system by the name of "JellyBean" and later on "KitKat". Stupid ass name. I am a Microsoft developer and I say f' windows phone, f' android, iOS is the best.
