A required movie to watch if you like comedies. Way too much humor to list even in a long review. It inspired Tesla Motors to adopt the phrase “ludicrous" mode for a speed setting with it's cars. If you don't know what that means, watch the movie! After you stop laughing, it will make sense. This movie is a comedy classic!

This is really a nice phone! The metal body and overall build quality is great. The screen is large and vivid. The speed is first class. Apps install quickly and every app and game I've tried so far loads quickly and runs smoothly. I still can't believe this phone cost less that $250. It's as nice or nicer in some ways than my last phone, which cost three times more. Motorola has really not touched the OS much and their additions actually enhance the user experience. I wish stock Android would adopt some of their enhancements (eg. shake for a flashlight, twist to launch camera, etc...). Camera is decent but still takes great shots in the right conditions. Speaker is nice, though I'm not a big music listener or video watcher, so can't comment on quality beyond it satisfying my casual listening needs.
Is it perfect? No. Does it have an edge-to-edge screen? No. Does it have NFC? No. (Never used my previous NFC equipped phone for purchases; don't miss not having the option with this phone.) Does it have a USB Type-C port? No (But who cares. Almost everything is done over WIFI or cellular anyway.) Does it have an industrial design that will make you instantly popular and raise your social status with friends and family? No. What it DOES HAVE is a smart design, solid hardware and reliable software. Plus, you can buy three or four of these for the price of one high end phone. You don't even need insurance. The insurance will cost more than just buying another phone. What's been surprisingly pleasant are the looks on people's faces when I tell them how much this actually costs. It's an obvious realization that can't often be masked. Why are we spending up to $1,000 for phones when something like this is available. I'll NEVER go back to having a high end phone after owning this. I'll save the hundreds and enjoy spending it on something else!
