Root Does this have CWM?

Hello all, I am seriously considering switching over to Metro for contract free 4g, just currious to see how the development is going on this phone, I see that this phone is already rooted, and I am guessing it has a unlocked bootloader(keyword assuming). I didn't see any roms for this so I am assuming that CWM is in the works or going to be real soon.

Also how do you guys feel about Metro? reception, data speeds and over all the Phone. I have Motorola Triumph on Virgin Mobile running cm7/miui 2.3.5(I switch back and forth) I really love this phone,and only paying $25/month but the Virgin Mobile network can be embarrassing slow.

Thanks :)
 
I have had great reception on my phone for the most part. Some areas have little service but that is ok. The 4g is fast enough for now and I have read that they are going to uncap it at some point, which will make it faster. The Esteem i a very nice phone and I have had no issue with it. There will be roms for it in the near future. The phone is so new that we have to wait for someone to create the roms for us. I would say go to Metro and enjoy the 4g.
 
The Esteem looks really nice, slightly nicer than the Triumph, but from what I see very close. The esteem alone isn't enough to go to Metro, but having 4g is! I heard rumors that Metro also has 3g is this true? I thought Metro only had 1x and 4g. Thankfully I live in a 4g patch, but I would hate to be stuck with 1x speeds lol

I am highly thinking about switching over, after I save up, and if I like it I will just sell my Triumph :)
 
You can get 3g in certain areas after you flash a new prl to the esteem. I currently have prl 3024 on my phone and I get 4g, 3g and 1x. Mostly I get 4g. I think the esteem is a decent phone. Lags a bit when you have a lot of stuff on it but overall the best phone that Metro has out as of yet.

Yes another key factor is the roms. My triumph ran ok on stock, but on miui and cm7 it is awesome. I really hope cm7 comes out soon if it hasn't already. Also does anyone know of this has a locked bootloader?
