Motorola Moto G - any good

[mondeoman]

Title says it all really - I've had 3 HTC Ones', all been returned due to blown speakers (the last one managed less than a week!), and I just cant be arsed to have another one, and the other "big" smartphones are way over budget, so I'm going to be asking for a refund and going for a Moto G (from P4U).

Before I commit, (and having read a couple of reviews), is there anything seriously wrong with this as a "basic" smartphone or should I be looking at something else instead? The only downside that I can see is that there is no microSD slot, so storage capacity is limited to say the least, but I can always download and remove photos to the laptop, and music is easily swappable.

I only use it for phone, text, nav, Suduko and the odd facebook check-in, and I'm already regretting coughing up £470 for the HTC (so I'm kinda relieved the third one has followed the first two), so I can play Mr Tightwad with a clear(ish) conscience. Mind you, Zoe was impressive...

Best I can find thats available now is £129.99 from P4U. Tesco Direct are out of stock afaik.

Its a bit, ermmm, dinky, after the HTC .

Fits my hand better though, buttons on the right side rather than top, screen is bright and readable, seems to be quite snappy in operation, no complaints so far. Oh, and I got a tenner off for my troubles.

'tis a lovely bit of kit, does everything I need.
