Samsung's Spex has a cool name, nothing else; Coming to MetroPCS store near you
MetroPCS is about to add yet another free or ultra-low-cost phone to its portfolio. There's nothing special about the Samsung SCH-r210 or the so called Spex, expect the name which sounded promising. And then I've read the specs… The dual-band CDMA plus 1700 MHz AWS and 128×128 screen sound so prehistoric and the "Spex" name doesn't suggest it's your grandma MetroPCS is targeting. So whom they see as a potential buyer of this handset. Beat me. Maybe first-time phone buyers who only need texting and calling? The same group that doesn't read the "specs" so they want "Spex." Forget it, it was a bad joke and it's a slow news day as I'm sure you can tell. Anyway, we don't know when it will be released nor how much the "Spex" will cost, but sure enough, we'll know more in the near future. Then, if the news cycle remains in the same gear, we may post about it… or not. [Via: PhoneScoop , Engadget Mobile ] --- Related Articles at IntoMobile:
