I am considering purchasing the lg esteem but was waiting for it to have an instant rebate instead of the mail-in... they did have it on wirefly for $248 but it's currently out of stock

but i was doing some research and noticed that the LG optimus LTE will be available to Canada now, so it's availability is no longer limited to Korea and i have a hunch it'll most likely be available for Metro pcs as well, most likely towards the end of the year or beginning of January.. so should i just wait until then?? any advice?

thanks...
btw the lg optimus lte specs are 4.5 inch HD NOVA display, 1.5GHz dual core processor, 8MP rear camera, 1.3MP front camera, LTE and Gingerbread
