metro pcs new phones

[Rjsweesy]

The LG Esteem was sold with the explicit promise it can handle VoLTE, just as Verizon's version the LG Revolution was released with the hype that it was also VoLTE-ready. I've never seen MetroPCS officially rescind that promise. They just stopped mentioning it on the website and have scrubbed all documents. However, I feel they will EOL (dump) the Esteem from inventory before VoLTE comes out so they don't have to admit they lied.



So, technically we've had a VoLTE phone since last year -- the LG Esteem.

I know this doesn't seem to answer your question, but it really does. You can "read" about all the newer phones being able to handle VoIP LTE, just as we all read about the LG Esteem being able to handle VoIP LTE. But it will still never tell you if it's true -- if the written words come from MetroPCS.

i saw the lightray, it looks nothing like the droid charge shown at the trade show...the Tikal and lightray are two different phones...i also saw the spec sheet on the lightray which specifically stated dyletv and amoled screen

Tikal was the internal name for the Samsung Galaxy S LightRay. Tikal and LightRay are the same phone.

The LightRay body is the Droid Charge body. Remember that lightray was suppose to launch last OCT. Issues with ericssons network have caused delays in bringing VOLTE. Galaxy S LightRay would have been the first VOLTE phone.

You are correct that Dyletv will be on LightRay, but the screen will be Super AMOLED.

See pics on post #71 page 5 = actual picture of (Tikal) Galaxy S LightRay that will launch at MPCS.

Post # 72 is a (chief -internal name) we now know as Galaxy Attain.

The article from pocketnow incorrectly identified attain as galaxy s lightray... as we all know.

That was the original phone presented. It has the body similar to the charge but will have different specs. Why sell the phone for 499 just because of the tv. It will be high end if the price is that. From what i know the original specs were
- 1.2 Dual core proccesor
- Super Amoled+ 4.3 screen
- camera 8 megapixels

Yes it makes sense to a tv with with a super amoled screen = win. I only wish the phone had capasitive buttons not physical buttons.

Specs will be the specs Ace presented above. No internal or external improvements from original device.

I'm not exactly sure why the price is what it is.

When the indulge came out it was 399 if i believe. The phone will be really high end for metro. And with the dyle tv added is metros reason for making the price high. Metros thinking is if we sell something like the esteem for 350 with those specs the dyle tv will be higher end so we bump up the prices.

Normally we do not care about Huawei but this new device coming to Metro caught my eye.
The Huawei M660. The design is very promising, I"m glad they left out the near useless 'search' button, and that lock screen looks pretty bad*ss(If that's how it's really gonna look like) . I wonder how this will do in the long run.

Instead of a dime-a-dozen full-touch slate, the M660 will be a non-sliding, portrait-orientation QWERTY phone. Regardless of what's under the hood, just the novelty of that design will earn the phone some attention; while it pops-up once in a while, on models like the Motorola XPRT and Titanium, it's definitely one of the rarer Android configurations, with only a few things like clamshell models any harder to come by.
With Android 2.3 on-board, the M660 is likely going to be aiming low, as well, but we might just end up with an 800MHz or even 1GHz processor
