Motorola recently revealed details about the Grasp, a new bar-style phone with QWERTY keyboard for messaging. This Grasp is a tri-band CDMA EVDO device supporting 1700MHz AWS spectrum, which could earmark the Grasp for Cricket or MetroPCS. The Grasp is BFR and PCV free, and the housing is 100% recyclable when it reaches the end of its useful life. Other features of the Grasp include a 1.3 megapixel camera with video capture, MP3 player, 3.5mm headset jack, stereo Bluetooth, threaded messaging and aGPS. The Grasp has a 2.2-inch 220 X 176 QCIF+display, and supports microSD cards up to 8GB. The Grasp was previously outed by the FCC as the WX404. No carriers have announced plans to sell this device.

Well, here's a question, then--

--since this phone works off 1700mhz, it'll offer 3G speeds in select MetroPCS markets...but Florida isn't included in those markets, correct?

Is Florida's Metro coverage 3G? MetroPCS's coverage maps absolutely SUCK.
