Before I finally press buy on a Moto G 16gb (just waiting to make sure the price doesn't come down on black Friday), I've just noticed this deal on the much maligned Fire Phone. http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/amazon-fire-phone-unlocked-32gb-black-amzfire32gbblk/version.asp?refsource=LDadwords&crtag=LD&gclid=Cj0KEQiA1dWyBRDqiJye6LjkhfIBEiQAw06ITnDvatjcqyIOnjjyAvXjmhgezE0S-7tZNVJlRtlC1S8aAiEu8P8HAQ

I know this got some pretty shabby reviews, but that was at £300. Is it worth considering at 100?

Considering that Amazon probably won't update it, and you can't officially use Google services, it might be a miss. Better to spend a bit more on the G.

Not sure how much the Moto G 16GB is, seems to be about £170 from Amazon, but the Moto X 2nd gen is £199 from Moto on Friday, the Moto X Play is £199 from Clove / Handtec at the moment, which may be of interest?
