The Samsung SCH-r210 Spex is set to wow nobody at MetroPCS in the near future. MetroPCS isn't coughing up any details, yet, but we're hearing it packs dual-band CDMA plus 1700 MHz AWS, a 128 x 128 screen, and, ahh, text messaging. Obviously this handset is doomed for a shining spot on the near-free price schedule, though if you're only looking for a handset that Grandma will appreciate, perhaps this'll ring your bell. No word on release dates or prices, but we'll likely hear more soon.

Not very Spexy
*rimshot*
*boos and hisses from the crowd*
*crickets*
*cough*
Except Metro doesn't do "near free" phones, because they don't do contracts, and thus they don't do contract subsidies on the price of their phones. So, I'd expect this to be in the $100-$200 range (their low end price range).
