MetroPCS 4G Network Announced
Prepaid mobile carrier MetroPCS has confirmed it will launch its 4G phone network in the second half of this year.
While there’s been no word yet on the cities where 4G will be launched first, some details of the first MetroPCS 4G phone are known.
MetroPCS is partnering with Samsung and the first 4G phone will be the Samsung SCH-r900 – full details on the phone are expected to be released soon.
T-Mobile 4G?
Bloomberg is reporting that T-Mobile USA could be about to hire a slice of 4G phone network from Clearwire.
If true, the move would allow T-Mobile to play a quick game of catch up with the other US 4G mobile networks.
The same report says the parent company of T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom, is also talking to MetroPCS about a similar plan.
