Hacker News Reader

I would rather buy a phone like moto g than get a super phone that is locked to a career and bloated with all the shit. But then if you are on hacker news, you most probably are not an average joe when it comes to tech.

I have a Moto G, outright. It cost as much as a night out, and it works perfectly. It's got nearly stock Android, and the battery is good.

The camera is HORRIBLE, but the difference is not worth >$650 to me

Yeah Moto G was my phone for an year as well till i got a proper job and could afford Nexus 6P.

If you don't care about camera, it really is a great phone for 250 CAD.

a footnote about the Moto G and Verizon: some people who bought unlocked Moto G phones from a 3rd party (e.g. Amazon) have reported that 911 doesn't work properly with Verizon. dunno. maybe that's why Verizon doesn't sell it on their US website.
