New Blu Phone

[Vyrus69]

Most of the Blue phones unfortunately have been very slow in trying to support LTE bands, but this new phone which comes out next month, looks interesting and supports the 700mhz LTE band, however, I don't know if its the tmobile band 12.

It supports all of the other tmobile bands pretty well including the 1700 band

BLU make decent phones, if you purchase the One XL make sure the 1700 Mhz frequency also include 2100 Mhz for LTE. Sometimes the 2100Mhz for LTE is not there.

Hmmmm....just 1 GB of RAM?
It might be a bit laggy.
Any word on pricing and if Metro will have this device?

1GB isn't that bad for RAM, depending on how much you're doing with it. Many midrange phones have this amount.
Blu phones aren't sold by any carriers, they are only available on the open market as unlocked devices.

If you are in the S. Florida or Atlanta area Brandsmart USA carry BLU devices

I just bought a Blu Studio 6.0 LTE yesterday. The reviews I've found make it sound like a good phone.
