Looks like it's in stock at Amazon now and at CPW. Plus model from CPW sometime in April...

Damn, if I wanted the 5 inch one they would have released the Plus first and the other in April 
Always the way hey.
CPW says 4th April on the Plus and £249.99

Just ordered the Amazon version. My trusty almost 3 year old Z3 compact is slowly dying along with the battery so time for a change. Looking forward to getting my hands on it.

Doh, just ordered the HOnor 8 at £320. From what I can see, the G5 plus is virtually the same for a lot less. Hmmm...think I won't open the Honor 8 and wait a week or two for the G5plus to come out, and see what reviews say about it.

Where will the other version be available or is it another case of a phone manufacturer seeing retailer exclusivity as a great tool even though the retailer with exclusivity is only interested in offering the model with the worst spec but higher margin?
No idea to be honest. Would like to know.
I'm wondering if they are just exclusive for the poor spec version?

i don't think they will release the 4GB version here. it's so stupid. plus how much would they want for it? £300? at that price your better off going for a one plus 3t.
the 3GB version from amazon for £180 is the best version to get unless you have relatives in North America.
Seems about right when you factor in sales tax is to go on top.

Does the G5 Plus definitely have NFC?
In europe yes, in the us no

Popped into two separate CPW shops today. No employees even heard of the G5 plus even coming out.

It's listed on CPW web site (as an exclusive) at £249 for delivery by 4th April.

Nah CPW can keep their "exclusive" spec with only 2GB. That's a minimum amount for '17 onwards.
I've been using the phone (Moto G5 3GB) over the weekend. I prefer the size over the G4. More comfortable to use in one hand. Shipped with a terrible wallpaper, but that was easily changed. Using the touch sensor for navigation is really nifty. I used to have trouble with Fitness Buddy crashing when switching between apps (on LG G4 and Moto G4), but it doesn't appear to happen on the Moto G5.
So far, really pleased.
