I bought my wife a Moto G. I've been pretty impressed with the device - I was hopeful for the future of Moto/Google. This is disappointing. Lenovo is an intensely boring company, they're not going to do anything fun with the Moto brand.



At least these phones don't have perfectly fine, working keyboards Lenovo could 'improve'.


To be fair, I tried a recent Lenovo laptop and in the BIOS you can swap the Fn and Ctrl-key so that they're back at where they should have been in the first place.

After that, I no longer hated working with the laptop and found it pretty decent.

That said, yes, Lenovo is the definition of a company making "boring" and über-traditional devices.


Oh, I'm perfectly happy with the location of the Fn key, and, admittedly, larger Del and Esc keys were also a good idea. Five-row keyboards are not (and neither are six-row chiclet-style keyboards).


Yup. I'm wondering how much it would be worth for their customers to select the type of keyboard they would like for their new T-Series... even the keyboards off the top-notch models have a much "cheaper", sloppier feel to them.

(very personal impression obviously)


Can you flick a switch in the BIOS and have the missing Insert key magically reappear??


Actually, they did - Droid 4 was last in line


Intensely boring - going to steal that one.


It has a Jobsian ring to it. Insanely conventional.
