4g phone under $200

[Baek215]

Hey guys, I talked to one of my store reps, and he told me personally that Metro is going to have a 4g phone for less than $200 befor May of 2012

I'm assuming it's going to be a mid range phone, probably in-between the optimus and admire spec wise.

Metro Pcs is releasing a htc phone wildefire that is not 4g but I havnt heard anything that metro will have a phone under 200 thats 4g

Galaxy Indulge? $199 after rebates?

 

[Baek215]

It's not going to be the indulge, or the Wildfire, he told me it's going to be a new phone before may and under $200. I know for sure it's not going to be the Samsung Conquer 4g, because that has a 1ghz snapdragon processor and 512 mb of RAM, and it's Samsung, so that's probably going to be $350-$400, and that's coming out next year also.

I'm thinking it's probably going to be the Ascend 2.

It might not be a android phone because there android phones 4g are 30 plus

 

[Baek215]

Nope, it's android. Metro is going to come out with a lot of 4g phones, basically to kill off cricket because they don't have 4g. My store rep told me about Esteem last year, which was codenamed Bryce, and he's basically one of the higher ups in the Philadelphia Market.

I have Htc Wildfire, ZTE X500M 3.5" screen Huawei M920 3.5" screen LTE ready, RIM 9350 and LG MS655, theres another samsung phone that is LTE and is 4.3" didnt get the mane of it but is LTE phone. and no Arthur phone unles it is the the ZTE x500m. i was more intrigue in to the DUAL-CORE phones[QUOTE/]
Probably one of those that you heard about, this was posted by tester87 in howard forums, you might be talking about the Samsung Conquer/tikal? Its a mid range LTE and probably the last 4g phone to release this year.

 

[Baek215]

It's not going to be the Conquer 4g(Codename is Samsung Chief), that phone is going to have the same specs as the Lg Esteem, and Samsung is generally expensive :/

 

[yahhboy]

Yeah then its probably the ascend 2 im gonna pass on that one
, I'd rather get a samsung craft then a huawei

Pre-May 2012?

You're probably looking at a 4G, 1 GHz+ (Possibly Dual-Core), Android Ice Cream Sandwich phone.

You must've forgotten we're talking about Metro

 

[aaronmy]

yea dual core wouldnt sell much, it would come up to $500

 

[yahhboy]

Well apparently two dual cores are in the works for q1 on metro
