G3 won't boot up

[paininthenuts]

Only had this phone a few days and I hate it. There is not enough internal storage not to adopt the SD card, and when attempting to get the phone to adopt it, it crashed. All I have now is a phone with a BIG "M" in the middle with little dots going around the outside, but it won't boot up. I have taken the SD card out, held the button down and it just does the same thing. HELP

Update. Even after holding the power and down buttons together, and then choosing all the options, the phone would not start. It is now being sent to Motorola after only 4 days of ownership. I had 3 attempts to adopt the SD card as storage, and even when I thought I had cracked it, the phone storage took the data as well as the card, and filled up. At this stage the phone crashed.

I hate this phone, I really really do. As a temporary measure I am using my wife's old Samsung S3 mini. I factory reset it, updated android, and put all my apps on it. Out of the 8gb storage, I am left with over 4gb. On the G3 without formatting the SD card, I was left with 1.2GB. So much for technology !!
