Rumor: MetroPCS to get Samsung Indulge on Feb 23 for $399.99

We know that MetroPCS is gearing up for the Samsung Forte, a touchscreen slider Android device that will run on its LTE network. It is a considerable upgrade over the Samsung Craft, which is currently the only available LTE phone for MetroPCS (or for any other carrier, for that matter). It will feature a 1 GHz processor, Android 2.2, a front facing camera, and more. MetroPCS plans to release the device on February 23 for $399.99. They will dub it the Indulge, not the Forte, but you’ll probably see both names appear in online forums. Of course, since that’s a month away we could see it change between now and then. But that’s the good word on the street at the moment.

   I know I am super excited for this phone, and I’ve been following it since the first “leak”. I really hope that the news keeps getting better and that this phone gets more amazing – now there is a front facing camera and a flash! Let’s not get TOO excited and keep our fingers crossed…

   Which phone is this? Is it the induldge or the forte? I’ve read all the leaks and some sites state that the samsung sch-r910 is the forte,some say its the indulge while others say its the same phone except 1 has a keyboard and the other doesn’t. This phone looks like a bigger craft why does metro come with the same old phones

   Its about time metro gets a phone worthy of their dope plans. Keep this up with great phones and they will blow all the other carriers outta the race.

10. Another Android smartphone for MetroPCS | Prepaid Reviews Says
    

    [...] The above image might not look like much, and right now it really isn’t. But soon it will be headed to MetroPCS as the Samsung SCH-R720 — though it will probably have a fancier name upon release. The screen will be a pretty standard 320×480 resolution, and it will run Android 2.2. Also, as appears the case with all new MetroPCS Android handsets, it will run on the LTE network. There is no word on release yet, but this figures to come after the Indulge/Forte. [...]
