Amazon has a $50 off promotion at the moment if you don't care about Amazon advertisements on the device.

Interesting idea. I wonder how people will respond to it.

I am sure it is easy to just flash a stock version to the device and Make it a non ad version, but with a $50 discount.

I wonder if Sprint will add this to the BYOD list or if it'll be relegated to prepaid.

Sprint should allow any fully network capabke device BYOD nowadays, IMHO. Otherwise you're turning down revenue and angering potential customers and existing customers. Not the time to do that.

Yeah. I can totally understand restricting BYOD to triband devices, but beyond that there should be no restrictions. None of the prepaid only BS. That just doesn't make sense as Sprint themselves are trying to move away from subsidies.

It'll work on BYOD.

What I'm interested to know is if CA will work properly. Or if it'll be nerfed like the Moto X PE. Also 2x or 3x CA?

I'm interested in the phone from a software testing perspective for Android apps. I like that it's unlocked, I like that I can grab a 16GB variant for $125... but I'm not a fan of the Amazon crapware. How easy is this thing to root?

[jgore43 66]

I bought this phone with Amazon adds.. Had them hidden within 30 minutes. Just takes disabling the Amazon apps and hiding the rest from the terminal/shell. The Amazon software being hidden persists through reboots and is just like the retail. Also have seen where the bootloader is unlockable.

I got the Moto G with Amazon ads on Tuesday and, honestly, the lockscreen ads don't bother me. I think I've seen a full-screen ad exactly once -- the first time I turned it on. If you have any notifications, the ads only show up as a notification. Since I always have at least a coupe of notifications (SignalCheck, weather) I always get the notification-style ads and, honestly, don't even notice what product is being advertised much of the time. Well worth the price of the phone, especially as a backup phone or something. I plan on using it until the next Nexus comes out, then keep it as a backup.

Can one of you test CA? It was broken on the moto x pure and still is.
