It uses HSPA+21 on 1900PCS in a very good area you can probably get around 10mbps

I don't have it yet, but from the reading that I've done, the Google Play Edition is the global model, so it doesn't have the AWS frequency (1700). If you're in a re-farmed area you will be ok getting the GPE. I personally plan on getting the AWS version from Moto.

Edit: The US GSM model has AWS
Oh good to know I was looking at buying one for someone but I'll wait for a phone with B12 support late this year for them since they aren't a normal upgrader

Lmao but yeah my market should be one of the 1st it rolls out to at the end of the year and I don't believe any of the phones compatible with it right now are compatible with the rest of the network

I saw that the Dallas/Ft Worth area was in the purchased area as well.

Amazon. and BTW you can get one cheaper from Amazon Warehouse. It will be either almost new or like new.

Dallas, Miami, Houston, Philadelphia, DC and Minneapolis should be the areas it gets rolled out to 1st the other areas may have to wait till after the 600MHz auction since that will clear the TV interference issue in other markets

Can I take MPCS GSM SIM in current phone and put it in New phone?

I think anyone getting one of the ones without AWS will be fine as HSPA PCS is just about matching AWS HSPA. Then most of the areas now getting HSPA for the 1st time are getting it solely on PCS.

Is there a thread for Moto G/US all things root?
I only see International and CDMA?

No, there isn't one. From what I've read though, the same root method works for the US model as for the international GSM model.

I think it's to a point now where most of the bugs are ironed out. Maybe not a hundred percent, but close

Please excuse this dumb question, but is this is a Tmobile/gsm HSDPA+ phone? Or not? If not, with these data speeds, it doesn't make a difference.
If I didn't just get laid off at work I'd buy one in a second! The motion is great but the battery is terrible! It has gone dead by the time i get to work, if i listen to streaming music, for example. My girlfriends unlocked att phone has a good signal in our apartment whereas my metro pcs phone has 1 bar, which leads me to believe that gsm can penetrate walls and the hilly georgia terrain better than cdma/lte.
