Product Description

With the Samsung Craft SCH-R900, MetroPCS delivered the first commercial LTE phone, and kicked off the introduction in Las Vegas, Nevada in September 2010. MetroPCS quickly followed up its offering in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia in October and November and is expected to keep up its push to other major cities in 2011. The Craft R900 has a slide out full QWERTY keyboard, and a 3.3”, 16 million color capacitive AMOLED touchscreen display. A few other of the Craft’s features include WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and the streaming video takes advantage of the “3.9G”* capability. The R900’s 2GB of internal memory is expandable up to 32 GB via a microSD memory card. The Craft R900 is powered by a 3.7V Li-Ion battery with an estimated battery life of 6 hours (talk time). (*LTE is not true 4G, but rather 3.9G. It is not backwards compatible with 3G. When LTE Advance is released, it will be backwards compatible with LTE. A supplied UICC allows the R900 to access the LTE service.)
