i have been wondering what metro pcs phone has the best chance because i have noticed most of metro PCs,s new line up have locked bootloaders it looks like dare i say are the closest to getting a working cm but i am welling to put my motion up as a test phone if there is a phone that is closer to getting cm i thought maybe this one the Huawei Premia 4G™ because some of there phones are not locked but just a guess i could not find a section for that phone could someone with this phone comment on if it is locked or not or will i need to drop the cash on the s3 thanks
 
MetroPCS is going to be gone by 2015 because of the merger with T-Mobile... it is highly unlikely that they will come out with any top of then line phones anymore because of that. I would suggest checking out Boost or Virgin...both Of them have amazing phones that can be modded as much or as little as you want

We'll just get phones that support T-Mobile's network instead. Then you can also just bring a t-mobile phone over.

No....metropcs will be gone...done...finished..nonexistent... you be forced to go with T-Mobile crappy no contract plan

MetroPCS will still be around after the merger and after the cdma network is shut down. Metro will just be a sub-brand with its own customer base division. So you'll end up having the executives for the main Tmobile with mostly different executives for metropcs.

To let you know T-Mobile is so much in debt that there no other option but to let metro take over just so they won't have anymore debt so in reality metro basically owns T-Mobile

Correct but t-mobile will be the main company with the current head executives. So not much difference and the debt won't really take effect for a couple of years.
