The Moto G wasn't supposed to arrive in the US until January, but Motorola is already beginning to take orders on certain models for shipping next week, on December 2nd.

At $179 off-contract, the Moto G is quite the deal for those on prepaid plans. While such a low price usually suggests that plenty of corners have been cut, our first look at the Moto G left us pretty impressed by what Motorola was able to pull off: a capable low-cost sibling to its flagship Moto X.
