Re: What Linux-based phone should I get?

+1 for Moto G - very good entry level android phone, great price. A little heavy and the screen isn’t what the nexus 5 has for another $150 (ish).

My favourite thing about the Moto G - Motorola software which silences alerts / calls when you’re supposed to be sleeping & during scheduled meetings. Loved it. Quite jealous since I got the phone for my partner and can’t find equivalent software yet for mine :)
