Thanks for the feedback.

How long would the Lava one last? How good is it compared to MMX etc.?

I bought a Moto G 16gb, but I have a relief I am still not overtaken, I thought Motorola went wacky and released. A new Moto replacing old one every 3 moths or so.

Corrected. Nothing was wrong with your actual point though :)

OK, so I got my Moto E today, and well I think there's a problem with it :|:

The back cover is a bit loose, meaning it moves a bit back and forth length-wise. Can anyone else who has this phone confirm if this is a manufacturing defect? Shall I ask for a replacement?
