Cricket emits SCH-r430 MyShot / SCH-r210 Spex AWS handsets
The collection of AWS handsets just keeps getting bigger, as Cricket is announcing a pair of its own in the SCH-r430 MyShot and SCH-r210 Spex. As for the former, you can expect a flip phone design, 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, web browsing / messaging capabilities and oodles of mundaneness. As for the candybar-styled Spex, you'll find built-in Bluetooth, a 1.5-inch 128 x 128 resolution display, speakerphone support and little more. Granted, both phones are tri-band -- meaning that they'll play nice in PCS, Cellular and AWS markets -- and thankfully, you won't be asked to take out a second mortgage to call one your own. The duo is available now for $149.99 and $119.99, respectively.[Via PhoneScoop]
Samsung "Spex" en route to a MetroPCS shop near you
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.[Via PhoneScoop]
