Is it worth bringing over the Moto G? I am currently a MetroPCS customer but I am concerned about the Moto G's lack of 4G/LTE and if that would be an issue. Anyone else thinking about getting the Moto G? Thanks for any help.

It's screen is a bit smaller and isn't the N4 screen HD?
Does Motie get updates as quickly as from Googly?
Besides being brand new, I don't see anything with the G that doesn't make just $20-30 more "worth it" for the N4.
Are you Sure the G can be modded for LTE? I like knowing the option for that exists with the N4 even if I don't do it right away.

Nah, no LTE lovin' for the Moto G.
As far as the screen goes, I'm ok with a little bit smaller screen; size doesn't always mean that much (looky at the honkin' big screen on that Galaxy Mega).
The G will get 4.4, but no tellin' if/when it'll get an update after that. There's always the custom ROM route, and I'm sure that the development community will be behind this phone.
Your stick didn't throw me over my handle bars.

I'm trying to be critically helpful.
Sorry you missed that.
It doesn't help for squat to blow smoke about how much you agree with someone's choice. It's much more helpful IMO to point out contrary points to consider.
Thanks for letting me know in advance not to needlessly waste my time offering You my opinion in the future.
(I think Alfick knew I was just playin with him.)

Yes. I knew you were playin'. I also think that (or I got the impression that he was) the hulk was playing with you.

I bought the moto g and have it working great with metro. It already got the kitkat update. I'm getting about 11Mbps to 15Mbps down and 4Mbps to 7Mbps up. I had a LG Spirit with LTE and I was lucky if it ever got 4 down and 2 up. I'm very satisfied with this phone. Although the screen is a bit smaller than the nexus, it's brighter and looks a lot better. I'm getting about 16 to 24 hours of battery life. That was one of the reasons why I chose this phone. If i'm going to spend 200 on a phone, I rather spend it on a new phone.

Another reason to buy this phone: Moto G drive over results - phone giveaway competition - see below - YouTube I don't think the nexus 4 would survive that since it's made out of glass.

Wow, thats impressive, though I wonder how it would have fared if he did the drive over with the screen up, or without the cloth under it.

I forced the update swicted to art and and it is a tad more snappy and Google now is way more accurate the camera is better than my 8mp atrix HD on KitKat sure its noisy but still better than 4.3 camera which was terrible compared to the lg motion.

My buddy got his Moto G on Friday so he takes it to the local authorized dealer. He paid them $35 for a sim and activation. 5 hours later he still didn't have any data he had to call support 3 times before he got someone who could talk him through the APN changes. Overall I was impressed with his phone after playing around with it. It's snappy and lag free and feels good holding it to your ear. The speeds were around 8 mbps which is faster than the 4-7 mbps he was getting off Metros towers on his Premia. I would definitely pick this phone over some of the selections at the Metro stores.

If you don't mind, where did he activate it on Metro (I don't need to know the street address, just what city/state)? Thanks.
