Why Moto E? It's not nearly as good as $40 ($20-25 when on sale) Verizon 1st gen Moto G that's equivalent to iPhone 6 if not better with 326ppi 720p IPS display, battery life, more compact one handed use, curved ergonomic back, soft touch feel, etc. There's little bloat which you can disable.

That's 4.5", right?

The Moto G is a great little handset, but to say it's the equivalent of or better than an iPhone 6 is both ridiculous and juvenile.

Some of your posts sit right on the line where it crosses from being just immature and silly to simply trolling.

Yes. Make sure you get 1st gen which has a much better display than 2nd gen. You will be blown away by how good and cheap it is. One of the best IPS LCDs I've seen but no surprise since it's Japan Display Inc panel and one of the suppliers for iPhone 6 display. Screen on time over 8 hours, built in FM radio tuner, etc. There are other noteworthy variants of 1st gen Moto G if you can find them for cheap but they tend to go for ~$170:

16GB unlocked GSM
8GB + SD card slot unlocked GSM

8GB is fine for me since I use it mainly as land line replacement with Google Voice+Hangouts Dialer and for browsing, movies, etc. For big games you probably should look at the 16GB.

Only cause the moto g 1st gen doesn't have microsd slot :(
Edit: just read that LTE does come with microsd slot..? Can anyone confirm?
 
Moto E as a iPod replacement.
