That is a lot of money to pay for a used phone with a 6 series snapdragon CPU.

Amazon.com is priced in US dollars. OP's pricing is in loonies. I would agree that if I was after this phone, I would pay the small bit extra for a brand new one.

so which phone has a better CPU for a better price currently? I agree about the used thing, but I could possibly get the 2G RAM one from amazon from the link in this thread, but do you think I'll notice a difference with 2G vs 4G ram on this phone? It's $229 USD for the 2G ram version on amazon.

Thanks for that, they also have the 2G ram one for $229 USD.

See other thread. Get it new from Virgin Mobile, then cancel service next day. $250+$5+$15+a few days service+tax, but it'll be new with a 1 yr manufacturer warranty.

I'm pretty sure US retailers like Amazon and bhphotovideo refuse to ship brand new Motorola phones to Canada.

BH doesn't ship new Moto phones to Canada. Only used.

SD625 is a very good chip. Very efficient and plenty fast.
2G vs 4G RAM depends on what you will be using the phone for. Also which phone do you have currently?
