That deal might be over but it did happen. Maybe B H has it still. That was the best deal I've seen to date on that model. It was 32GB on board and 2GB RAM.

It was enticing enough for me to buy one. Reason here? Turns out we didn't have a Android 7.x phone in the office. Since we write apps, had to fix that.

Update. My Moto G5 arrived.

It seems to be quite as nice as the reviews indicate. I'm glad I ordered a case for it (8 dollars) so the back lens is just a little recessed when I set the phone down on its back. Perfect.

I'm on Ting.com for service.

Which cellular carrier do you use? Hard to offer specific advice without knowing that.
