Motorola might come back to India with the launch of Moto G .

In the last half a decade or so, Motorola hasn’t been able to retain the kind of market share that it once had in the Indian upper end handsets.
Its owner Google had completely shut down the shop in the country post acquisition.
However, the company may have its plans in place to penetrate the market once again with its entry-level Android based smartphone, the Moto G.
The phone will be launched on the 13th of this month.

There are hints that the phone may be made available to India as soon as it is launched.

Motorola's build quality is highly robust.. Defy and Defy+ owners can confirm this..
I really hope they do come back to india.. We really need a worthy competitor for low and mid range sony/samsung devices

^^ Yes. My friend and my cousin have also got Defy, and still in good shape (albeit lagging). They are pestering me to upgrade their phone to JB :D. Have to.
My friend did not even put a scratch guard on. My cousin is looking for a replacement battery.

I am Eagerly waiting for Moto. :)

That is my opinion man. does nt matter how good their phones are i don't like. they are prices their phones like hell (i.e Note 3 for 50k) and dont give us international phone too. ( i.e Octa for Non 4G market and SD800 for US) thats why i called SAM$hit again that is my opinion it may vary person to person :evil:
