MetroPCS readying LG Optimus, Huawei Ascend
posted by Joe on October 25th, 2010 - 7:51 am | MetroPCS
Waiting for an Android handset on MetroPCS? You might have to wait a bit longer than expected, but the delay will bring better handsets. The carrier was intending to carry the Kyocera Zio, the first Android handset to land on Cricket, but they hit a snag along the way. PhoneNews.com has the info. Apparently they purchased the Zio handsets with Android 1.6, which is by now a far outdated OS. The Cricket and Sprint versions of the device run Android 2.1. Metro, for its part, will launch two Android handsets later this year, both of which are better than the Zio.

He’s right, the Lg Optimus and The Huawei Ascend are the newest additions to the MPCS family. The quote of the day is “will be here before Christmas” and “bye bye kyocera/sanyo” both around $200 bucks, lowest Andorid proces aroud on a network that IS NOW COVERING 90% of the U.S> thats BIGGER THAN SPRINT
