Today Samsung introduced one of the first handets to combine CDMA 3G and LTE (Long Term Evolution) 4G radios into a single device. Few details about the handset were shared, but it will allow users to make voice calls over 3G and make use of LTE for data. The SCH-r900 will launch on MetroPCS later this summer. Samsung also noted that MetroPCS has selected Samsung to provide the networking infrastructure needed to launch its LTE network in Las Vegas during the second half of this year. MetroPCS previously announced Ericsson as a supplier for LTE networking equipment, but Samsung will be the exclusive provider for LTE infrastructure in the Las Vegas market. MetroPCS does not maintain its own EV-DO network, and the regional carrier will be leap-frogging traditional 3G technology to move directly to the next generation LTE technology.

Why Metro?

They don't really care about high-speed wireless networks so why do they get a 4G device. Samsung should've made an agreement with Verizon, at least they have major plans to build out a nationwide 4G network. I guess the "little guys" get some of the goods first. 😡

gshock

Metro never implemented 3G, so they had to jump into the 4G realm to be competitive in the market place. That's why.
