    My dad is impressed with his G's battery life, he gets almost a week out of it. The Desire HD he had before managed about a day :rotfl:

    When you see it costs a quarter of it's nearest rival, it looks very good value indeed and a smart move for Motorola, the lack of bloatware that you get on things like Samsung really do make the Moto G fast and responsive.
    It appears to run everything with ease you throw at it without the bits you don't need.
    The result, a few hundred quid in your pocket.

    A bit of a money savers secret phone.
    Be happy...;)

    Are the Moto Gs now shipping with KitKat?

    Bought one yesterday but only connected it to wifi at the moment. Am waiting for a micro sim from 3, then I can unlock it (hopefully!). It asked to update straight away to kitkat so wasn't shipped with it.

    Really wish I'd gone for the 16gb as after syncing with google and downloading the apps I've got on my tablet, I've only 2gb left. :eek:
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    Hi, I have 2 Moto G , with heavy use one ends up on 20% after 30 hours although I usually charge it every night.

    With minimal use ( occasional text and bit of surfing ) the other was down to 20% after 11 days.

    I haven't had those kind of battery states since my Moto Razr days :rotfl:

    How about something basic like a Flash video? (without having to use a specialised browser such as Dolphin).

    By "specialised browser" you mean a browser that supports flash?!
    Obviously there's no native support for flash in either Android or the pre-installed Chrome browser these days so of course you'll need a different browser.
