Samsung Craft, The First LTE Handset of Metro PCS

Regional (US), no-contract carrier MetroPCS  offered a few more details on its planned LTE rollout, currently scheduled for later this year, including initial launch markets, planned content offerings and handset pricing expectations.

MetroPCS chief Roger Linquist said the carrier's planned LTE handset from Samsung, which will be called the "Craft", will sell at a price comparable with the carrier's current smartphone offerings. MetroPCS currently sells the BlackBerry Curve for $279. Linquist also promised LTE netbooks and tablets at some point in the future, but said the carrier will start first with handsets.

Verizon Wireless, which also is planning an LTE launch this year, has said it won't offer LTE handsets until the middle part of next year.
