That is what we are led to believe looking at a picture that was posted on Samsung’s website.  The header picture on the Korean manufacturer’s US website shows three cellphones which includes the R560 Messager sporting a MetroPCS logo.  MetroPCS already sells the previous iteration of the same model, the R450 Messager, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if the latest version was picked by the same CDMA carrier too and the fact that this QWERTY-hauling handset is equipped with tri-band CDMA and EV-DO data support solidifies the fact that the R560 Messager will land in MetroPCS’ lap very soon.  The R560 has already seen a Canadian release as the Samsung Vice on Bell Mobility and has escaped from the FCC’s clutches unscathed.  We know that apart from the QWERTY keypad, it also crams in Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel camera, and that’s about it, pretty much what you can expect from a phone that is primarily going to be used as a messaging/mailing device.  We’ll get you more as it emerges, so do come back!
