    Mark my words, MetroPCS is going to be the best cellular provider in the country by the end of the year.

    They’re gonna start upping their smartphone offering, and with their addition of LTE all they need are some flagship phones to make use of those frequencies that are actual high-end offerings. No crap phones like that Samsung Craft; they need a High End Android phone, and a WindowsPhone as well with some really stable mid-range handsets as well.

    Even though this is exciting, T-Mo FTW!

    I think they are running a 1.25Mhz LTE, not a 10MHz LTE like VZ or 20MHz like AT&T will.. So it’s slower.
