MetroPCS may not be considered on the same tier as carriers like T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint and Verizon but they have been holding their own offering many different high end devices that are sure to interest some consumers.

It is good to see that big businesses are doing their part to help out Japan after the tsunami and earthquake, and we have previously reported that AT&T allows free calls to Japan until April.

The Kyocera Torino S2300 is a candy bar style cell phone that offers conference call capability, voice recording, [...]

While the current 3G speeds are arguably fast enough (depending on who you ask), next generation 4G networks rival landlines which makes it no surprise that consumers everywhere are clamoring about them. While major carriers like [...]

And to finish out the week, we take a look at the Samsung Contour, one of the newer models available out at MetroPCS. It, like many cell phones we come across, will feature a lot of high points, but won’t be without its faults. The question is, as usual, how they balance out, and that’s [...]
