Moto G may be pre-pay only?

From Twitter: ‏@VZWnews Stay tuned: Moto G with 4.5-inch edge-to-edge display coming to Verizon. Available on prepaid in early Q114. #MotoG

That's not the news I was hoping for! I have two lines that need new phones and was thinking the G would be great for both of them. Ugh. Not if it's pre-pay only though. I know things may change from now 'til when it actually gets to Verizon but really.

Here's the thing... even if it comes to postpay, it doesn't have LTE, which may or may not be a dealbreaker for some.

 

[Clementine_3]

Yeah, and that would be fine. Neither person would know or care

 

[binaryhermit]

I don't know, after using a LTE device for about 10 days, I'm not sure I could go back without some sort of major incentive.

There's zero chance that I would ever own a non-LTE device going forward.

Having a non LTE phone can work for some people, it just depends on how you use the phone.

LTE is great, but like Clementine I know several people who rarely use data and could care less about fast data speeds. So for them the Moto G would be fine.

I don't get 4G at my house. It's all around me but not at my house. I just have my phone 'locked' on 3G so it's not constantly searching and forget to switch it when I go out and about. So, for all intents and purposes, I have a 3G only phone anyway.

Now, that doesn't mean I would hop on a Moto G...but I would throw 2 of my lines on one so fast. lol
