Thought I would share this as I came across it today. I thought this is a very good price. About NZ$300 plus shipping. I am very tempted.

I know there is a new Moto G 4 just announced so maybe a new X on the way as well.

So how does that work? do you mean the phone will not work at all in NZ as I see you can buy it in NZ through parallel imported. Looks like I need to work out what LTE, bands, 3g, 4g etc all mean.

I hear rumor that the new X is going to be called Moto Z

Acording to the link above

Moto X - Pure Edition (GSM Unlocked with T-Mobile SIM - XT1095):
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1700 (AWS), 1900, 2100 MHz)
4G LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17)

It should work OK Band 3 is there except no band 28 (700)

That is what I just read. Wikipedia says 2degrees is band 3 for LTE and spec for phone says band 3. I was just digging into 2degrees site to find what they say.
