Not even three months after T-Mobile’s MetroPCS acquisition, and the value carrier is already reaping benefits from Ms. Magenta. The Bring-Your-Own-Phone carrier is getting its first Windows 8 Phone handset, the HSPA+ Nokia Lumia 521, and the Jelly Bean-running LG Optimus F3. Both phones feature 5MP cameras, July 26th street dates for select markets and attractive pricing – the 521 is $99, while the F3 is $149. The news doesn’t stop rolling there, either.
Not only is the wireless provider’s device lineup expanding, but its coverage area is too. Metro’s availability is growing to 19 additional cities – listed after the break – including Washington, DC; Cleveland, Ohio and Fresno, California. Sadly, the embedded press releases don’t mention the most important aspect of all: whether you can get the F3 in a Grimace-worthy hue.
