I just bought the Moto G through Republic Wireless last month. Your other choice is Moto X. Yeah I guess that's limited compared to other carriers but how many different choices do you need in Android phones, really? It has the latest Android (KitKat) and a decent camera. It's my first smartphone. All in all I'm happy, so far. I'm on the $10/month for voice and text plan. It does use the Sprint network for cellular, and Wifi for data. Uses wifi for calls too when it can, which is great because cellular service is very marginal at my house. That was actually the main attraction of Republic for me. Calls over WiFi are not perfect, especially if a lot of other activity is happening on the network (e.g. a couple of kids on netflix or youtube). It's pretty agressive about falling back to cellular if WiFi quality is poor (this happens seamlessly) but I had to disable that on my home network because there's really no cellular to fall back to. Supposedly a good router with QoS capabilities can help, but if I have to go drop $200 on a new router I've defeated some of the savings. So I'm holding off, at least until I need a new router for some other reason.
