At first glance, the phone looks like the Moto X that Aaron reviewed a few months back.  But under the hood, this Moto X could save you some serious money.  Coming in at $299 without a contract, Republic's Moto X packs the same internals: a 1.7 GHz dual-core CPU with Motorola's X8 architecture, 4.7-inch 720p HD display, 10-megapixel camera with 1080p HD recording, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.  The big difference is in monthly price plans - with options starting at $5 per month and multiple Wi-Fi/cellular combination packages to suit different needs, Republic is a serious contender that's worth taking a look at.
