I think a lot of people have purchased the Wind version of the Moto G to use on other carriers, because the Wind model is 16GB and unlocked.

As others stated, Wind doesn't have LTE so this version is weaker (unless you want SD card storage) than the existing US GSM Model sold by Wind.

Sorry but could you explain your comment to me? Does the Wind US GSM model work on more bands than new LTE version?

Starting price will be $275? If I am not mistaken....
Too pricy for a mid level phone IMHO. I was going to get the same until I found that one out.

Yep. It's launching at $220 USD or it'll probably be in the $260-280 CAD by the time it arrives here. Considering that the original Moto G is $150 at Virgin (then add $5 for an unlock off eBay), you have to decide for yourself if LTE is worth the extra $100. It's also a bit unknown right now if Android 4.4 Kit Kat allows users to save apps on the microSD or not (and you also have to add the cost of buying a microSD card).

The US GSM version works with Wind and Rogers/Bell/Telus/AT&T.

And the new LTE version doesn't? According to gsmarena the LTE version has all the same bands as the Wind version PLUS LTE. So what is the advantage of the Wind version besides being cheaper? The LTE version with the expansion slot seems to be a better phone.

They want $225 with a contract, seriously?

Why not buy it off contract via Rogers? I'm pretty sure both phones are the same and unlocking shouldn't cost much. I have the original Moto G and unlocked it for $5 via RFD thanks to infamouskid but you can do it for cheap. If I knew this version was coming in 6 months I would've waited.

Good.

Try Wireless Wave, it's where I bought my father's Moto G (Virgin Mobile, $150). No BS and even gave me a free micro SIM. :)

I unlocked it for $2.50 and trying out Koodo.

Thanks for your respond.I am with btc mobilicity deal and I belive the only new moto g works with that is the one on staple and wind and none of them got the new 4g lte one,the only option I have is buy with fido or rogers and unluck it but they only give it with plan.

Thanks for your respond,we are on the same boat,I bought it last week with staple and I only got one week left to return,I didn't expect the new model will come soon.since the new one is lte and future proof it worth to pay difference and buy that one.but it's hard to get without plan and also how to unlock it.I have mobilicity btc deal(25.00) with unlimited data and don't want to give it up.
