TYVMucho.

IMHO no guarantee it won't delay into next year, as with other previous models.
This is what's so disappointing about being with Metro-- we get the phone much, much later...and castrated.

With this plethora of phones, Metro should've tried for the same model specs on the S3, as a competing mega carrier...in order to get the phone right away...even if it means customers would pay more.
And please don't say few Metro customers would...I would...as well as many better paying postpaid competitors' customers(no contract, no throttle/cap, lower monthly-- a no-brainer)...there'd be plenty of other choices for the ones that wouldn't

its not bad until you compare it to the likes of a Gnex or S3, then its a pofs

notice these people post info yet they wont share links nor tell u how this info has been confirmed. i tell u could be mean and say what im thinking about ill leave it like that cuz i know for sure metro isnt going to release 2 phones in the same month that will over shadow one over the other. 2nd metro leaves the best for last they not going to release their most powerful most advanced product first then release their mid range phones after.

not jumping ship just buying the yacht instead of a small motor boat

I wont leave to get a slightly better phone only to get the S3 later on. I will wait and just get the S3.

I am VERY happy with my phone as most should be.

I don't have a link, all I can say is that it's coming.

mike28

But no disrespect but like I said before I think you are mistaken the lightray for the sg3 please check the info again

Sdhadow7557

Btw the price is going to average $450, and the plan is going to be the same. Also by what I hear the phone will not be watered down. I could be wrong though.

horsecharles

I doubt S3 will get here before year's end.

horsecharles

Well, it's not like dumping one's wife.....
What about if the new phone came with usb on the go, double the internal storage, multi-core processor, wireless hdmi, hotspot, tv chip, larger screen, 64+gb sd card capable, better glass, fm radio, better battery, etc....???????????????????????????????

(singin' n hummin' to my esteem)...These boots were made for walking....

bnb25

no disrespect to anyone, but its called being spoiled, I'm thankful for what i get. I'm old enough to remember crappy beepers and flip phones so big they pull your pants down putting them in your pocket. When I was a teen "yes, I'm doing the I remember when I was a kid thing" the only people that could even get a cellphone had to have perfect credit and be upper middle class.

Its like this, new higher end phone = Everyone wants

Its kinda like if a phone came out and will support Adobe Flash no matter what version of Android is on you'd jump ship right away Ahahaha

Fuzzy13

I don't even answer "what if" questions. But I agree with you.

bnb25

nope, the Esteme already has Flash. The only thing the Esteme doesn't technically have that I would like is tethering... but we all know.. ways around that...

Fuzzy13

I remember using my mom's bag phone in the car back in the early 90's.

You get so used to a phone that's its crazy to think how we survived with out one.

PlayfulGod

I remember when the only mobile device was a calculator

bnb25

bnb25

This was one of the FIRST camera phones that came out. I paid 100 bucks for it and that was new plan price.

I wonder how Metro PCS is going to find a way to price the Samsung Galaxy SIII "between $99 and $149".

I feel young

Sent from my typewriter.

bnb25

you used a paperweight as a phone? lol

Fuzzy13

I feel old. lol

bnb25

yep my first cellphone with a real carrier was with voicestream too. and then they went over to tmobile, and I was on the phone with customer service more then I used the phone for anything else. and then this great low cost, no contract company came out called Metro pcs. Before metro and voicestream I use to get those crappy grey brick flip phones that you had to call on the cell phone and put in a card number to get time. god i hated that.

ShinySide

Ahaha My first was a razr then I got the krzr and then I had a Nextel 500 series (cant remember the exact 500 model but it was one of the Yellow construction grade ones)

bnb25

with that make up on it makes you look young lol (for those that don't get it. I'm making a joke about his avatar of Marilyn Manson)

That thing was a deadly weapon! Ahaha One swing and you could bring down a 400lb dude Ahaha

bnb25

my first metro phone was the kyocera strobe, I loved that phone. Those it was so awesome "at that time" to be able to flip it opena nd have a full keyboard. I became a txting "that's what it was referred to at that time" machine

bnb25

that's how my brother got that lump on his head!!!

Fuzzy13

So glad to hear. Whew. lol

bnb25

my mom does texting, Shes some what of a nanny for my younger cousins and all they do is texting, so she was forced to learn how.

Wow you had a Razr that was like a rich person phone to me haha. I couldn't afford those. I always got the free phones they'd give when you resigned your soul to them.

Fuzzy13

I remember have REAL ringtones back in 2002 WAY before you could put them on a phone. It was the FIRST phone modding I ever did. You HAD to have a USB cable for the phone which was UNHEARD of. hahaha. I remember a site called cell phone hacks that was popular back in the day that gave me the info and it would give out all the unlock codes and hidden menu codes. Ahhh the good ole days.

PlayfulGod

Yea I got it uber cheap with a 2yr contract on ATT from tigerdirect and modded the pi55 out of it lol. Still have matter of fact lol

lol

bigboss954

i would as to seeing with my esteem people cant even hear me when i talk. i sound like im being smothered with a pillow.

but im sticking by it just so i can improve it if i can.

bnb25

I never had that issue.. maybe take the pillow off your face before making a call. lol Joking with you. Maybe you don't hold the phone in the right position, or you have your hand over the mic. Remember the mic hole is on the bottom of the phone, if you hold the phone from the bottom it will block it.

the wait on the Esteem was bad enough...
