"Two months after its global announcement, the Motorola Moto G (8GB) is finally making its way to Singapore on January 16 with a retail price of S$318." - Excerpt from a website
Based on today's currency rate S$318 equates to Rs.15369 for 8GB and there has been no talk on the 16GB variant of Moto G in Singapore. Motorola has released only 8GB model (AFAIK!).
So my prediction is Motorola gonna release only the 8GB version of MOTO G this month end and they gonna charge us between 15.5K to 16K. Any takers for MOTO G if it is priced closed to 16K for 8GB variant??

^^ I was expecting to buy 8GB version if it would sell for under Rs 15K.Maybe I will spend Rs 369 more but why so inequality to developing countries ?

I don't understand why you guys are expecting Moto G at such low prices. India is not USA and nor is Motorola coming back to India to do charity. 16K for 8 GB variant seems fair enough.

No way it is going to be 10k. Not any less than 13k. Motorola will already be making very little even for 14k, and 10k means they will be selling the device at a loss of 20% or more.
If it will be available at 10k for real, then there is going to be a huge demand for sure.
@16k, then it will be on par with other branded 16k mobiles and I don't think that is Motorola's strategy with Moto G. But, taxes in India could indeed raise the cost above 15k, which puts Motorola's strategy with Moto G at a risk in India.

Main reason why Moto G got very popular is because of it's dirt cheap price tag. Moto G is competitively priced in European markets. There's absolutely nothing wrong in expecting Motorola to do the same in India.
16K for 8GB variant is pretty high considering the face that it doesn't come with an expandable memory and a decent camera.
If 16GB Moto G gonna cost anywhere around 18K then there are plenty of good alternatives already available in the market... Galaxy Grand Duos, Desire 500, G Pro Lite, Xperia C & Xperia SP to name a few... All these mobiles are better than Moto G except for the Processor dept. Just like the Nexus phones geeks will get Moto G, others will opt for one among these alternatives.

It's going to be an average phone imo. Storage will be its plus point but not to those who have an sd card. Frankly none of these phones are appealing with their miserable durability. "Bas 4 din ki chandni, phir to kaali raat hai". If "Moto G" can just do the basic tasks of a mobile phone which are calling, texting, displaying/adding contacts with NO LAGS along with the features that it boasts then it might be worth buying.
This is Motorola by Google..
Not MMX or Karbonn or Intex or whatever.. not the 4 din ki chandni fir kaali raat hai types..
This phone has been compared to the Nexus 4 tonnes of times, and on XDA Forums I've seen more than 5 people switch from Nexus 4 to Moto G..
Moto G can do much more than the basic tasks with no lags, it can play games like Asphalt with no lag at all..
how will storage be its plus point? Its 8GB/16GB..
It's durability is actually quite good..

Infact my friend who has been owing a defy all this long is thinking about importing moto g if the prices are too steep, after official launch, he's saying that warranty doesn't matter if it's a moto

People were saying the same about Nexus 7 that it's brought to you by Google and made for gaming and blah blah but you know what, I notice the lags while playing subway surfers..lol
I have used entry level Android phones like Samsung Galaxy Y, Ace Duos, Sony Xperia E Dual and boy aren't they dumb. If I want to note a number quickly from someone then I'll have to get a pen and paper coz my "smartphone" ain't that quick enough.
