The 8GB and 16GB first generation Moto Gs no longer appear available from motorola.com. 8GB second generation is up at $179.99 or you can get the first generation 8GB 4G LTE model for $219.99.
Amazon dropped the price of the 1st Gen LTE G to $199.00. I decided to order one. The tl;dr reason is to have a GSM smart phone to try out GSM carriers; I have a year left on my Verizon contract. I have a land-line to port, and don't have time to wait on the 2nd Gen X.
