MetroPCS to also get HTC Desire Android handset?
June 18, 2010/
It wasn’t long ago that we learned about an Android device headed to MetroPCS. The Motorola device shouldn’t be that far off, but that won’t be the end of Metro’s Android dealings. Via Brighthand we learn that they might be getting the HTC Desire, pictured above. While Metro was not specifically announced as a carrier, HTC did say it was coming to “select regional operators,” which makes Metro a good candidate. There are other regional carriers that could fit — US Cellular, for instance, and others that have postpaid services. But considering Metro’s status as fifth largest primary carrier in the country, I imagine they’d be high on the list of potential regional carriers. Look for the handset in August. ]]>

Wow its about time, metroPCS is bringing something good!!!! I will buy this for sure with a $50.00 plan…
I heard from a rep that they improving on their phones.She also said they are going bigger and better just takes to long for them to bring out their phones.I hear things are better if you wait been with metro for 5 years and been buying their new phones when they come out for the c/s figure it out or ask someone cause trying to get a answer just read your book they do,or call the tech for that model

Has anyone heard when in august it will be released
hell yeah if this phone comes out im definitely getting it i have been waiting for years
WAITING FOR HTC DESIRE
Seems to me, that despite how desirable the HTC Desire would be on Metro, with the new LTE system planned for later this year by all accounts, why waste the money. Not to mention, that the current PCS system is sooooo sloooow for web browsing, the functions of the HTC phone would be lost in process.
I have the bb8330 with metro and my service is good had them for 5years and no problem.Customer service sucks work out problems myself. want the htc desire.contracts rip off
Omg ! When is this phone comin out ? && what is the price on it ? I really want it . 🙂
I was told that the phone may come out the beging of August or the end of October. So yea us people have to wait. If anyone finds out more info about it please post it ASAP.
I hope the first part of aug been waiting for this phone since may when i heard about it and hope the wait is worth it,and not and an ungodly price cause i have bb8330 and paid $350.00 hope no more then that or i could go with contract and trade every year for almost nothing got lot of money tied up on metro phones.
Has anyone got a update on the htc
I have heard the talk metropcs with htc smart for for aug. haven’t seen nothing yet r they going to walk the walk on htc talk
when is dis fone coming out ??? like i need a month and da number
Metro is the fifth largest carrier in the U.S. at this time. If Metro intends on being taken seriously, they will need to “Man Up” and get name brands of “QUALITY” equipment.
Metro wants to sit at the adult table now, but they still do not understand how to act. This Snoop Doggg thing is a train wreck waiting to happen. Do not promote your product to mainly one segment of the American public like you have done in Detroit, Atlanta and Boston…….. Diversify and do your market analysis of the products people want for your LTE network in ALL segments of your customer base.
I am sure that there are people that want a $9.99 phone for whatever reason and that is fine. But, those that want to make full use of the new LTE network will want a good quality ANDROID and hopefully it will be an HTC or better version from Samsung that will have longer than a three (3) hou8rs battery life.
Forget the $9.99 throw down phones and as they say… GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!
Just in my humble opinion………….
I just switched to metropcs and bought the Samsung Indulge. I still have 2 weeks left before I can turn it in or keep it. Now that I want the HTC I don’t want to invest in this phone when the one I really want is coming out soon. I need a cheap phone to carry me through August. Any ideas — then I can turn this one in and wait for htc.
@ Abbie is it true? Is this phone really cominig to metro pcs? Ive googled it and saw no current articals (2011) on when this phone would be released. I hope this phone does come to metro pcs cause I have done the research and the phone is awsome. I’m ready to dump this blackberry and get something more faster.
Is the phone truly coming to metro pcs or is this a mere rumor? Ive done searches on the phone cominig to metro pcs but nothing has been confirmed. If this phone really is cominig to metro pcs when? and what will be the price range on it?
The htc desire will be on metro pcs as of july 6,2011
hye metropcs really needs a htc windows phone but when will it come out and what price will it coast to over $199 or $299
Its tru..my metro rep told me it shoul be in stores by late aug’ 2011..I CANT WAIT
its not going to be an htc but n lg just like the lg revolution
Just got word it WILL be sometime this month
