With the Moto E (http://mashable.com/2014/05/13/motorola-unveils-moto-e-in-india-dual-sim-support-4-3-inch-screen/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss), Motorola wants to make the feature phone a relic of the past. By offering a decently performing smartphone for cheap (just $129 in the U.S.), Motorola wants you to ask, "Why wouldn't I get this instead of a flip phone?"
Data costs, for one. But assuming you can find a cheap plan, there really isn't much other reason. The Moto E delivers a respectable smartphone experience, and it's got a nice design, too. From a distance, it actually looks a lot like an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, and it even comes in the same colors: black or white.
