Samsung Craft review

We review the Samsung Craft for MetroPCS - the nation's first LTE phone

LTE ; Nice UI, easy to learn ; Good physical QWERTY keypad

LTE is only available in two markets, so this phone is only available in Las Vegas and Dallas/Ft. Worth for the time being

While there's no question that a smartphone would make better use of the blistering speeds promised by LTE, the Samsung Craft is just smart enough to whet our palates. MetroPCS customers in 4G-covered markets should definitely take a look at this...

Samsung Craft Review

Although it's rather difficult to fathom that a national prepaid carrier is the first to the punch in launching a next-generation LTE network in the US, the Samsung Craft SCH-R900 for MetroPCS has a huge reputation to overcome since it's the first LTE...

Samsung Craft Review by Sydney

The Samsung Craft is being touted as the first 4G phone on an official 4G network. Though I don't think anyone would have expected something like this to come from a regional carrier like MetroPCS, it's definitely a big deal.

4G; WIFI; beautiful AMOLED display; responsive capacitive touchscreen; excellent 3.2 MP camera with autofocus and a flash; solid build quality

Somewhat poor battery life; keyboard layout

The Samsung Craft is easily one of the best messaging phones on the market right now, if not THE best messaging phone.

Samsung Craft 4G

I must say that I really love this phone! The master volume at it's highest level is still a bit low, but this is made better if you acquire a bluetooth. The battery life falters easily if you use the internet a lot or spend a lot of time on the apps...

Samsung Craft 4G

I must say I was skeptical about buying a phone from LetsTalk, but this has got to be one of the best deals and service from a cell phone company that I have ever experienced. The quality of the Samsung Craft is very good for the price. But what really...
