july not june oh u mean the unlocked one. well heres the deal mid july metro gets their gs4. also samsung announced the unlocked one for around $650 but heres the juicy info the gs4 on metro will be the first gsm sim card using phone ever on metro no more uicc. so i dont see the use of paying probaly $100 more for an unlocked one when our version will be gsm and i know for sure that we will be able to unlock it with any of those cell phone unlock services.

Nice true..im still not sure if ill wait out for the note 3..or get the metro s4! I wonder if you were to get the note 3 from tmob would it be possible to be put on the payment plan? Either or ill probably just save up..i dont like payments...the only thing that intrigues me about does Google s4 is that its stock Android that's it

hmm metro's gs4 will be gsm? And since you pay full price for it it should be unlocked too?

$600+ is quite a chunk of change though I think it may be later, like next tax return before we get one. lol

I do like the idea of a pure android gs4 all the benefits of the fast hardware none of the carrier bloat and skin overlays.

Course I am positive there will be a AOSP or CM rom out fairly quickly as long as the radio's and hardware are the same as the other gs4's.

Actually it wont matter, I am thinking its unlikely they will take a price decrease even google is looking at $650 any unlocked gsm gs4 should work on metro.

Of course I hear this right after buying my Metro S3. Any ideas on trade in promos? Metro S3 trade in toward Metro S4?

PS: Ive had the S4 and it is one awesome phone. I had it for Sprint for about a week, but returned it due to had Sprint coverage. I know the reviews arent all great for the S4 but the one thing they usually say is that its too much like the S3 as far as build, and looks. Yet they praise the Iphone 5? It looks exactly like every other iPhone as far as look and build.

Metro has never had a trade in option for any phone the best u can do is sell your gs3 for $350 like I'm gonna do with all accessories. Best part we have stock recoveries to put the gs3 bone stock thanks again to the source.
