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...

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...

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.

The first review of the first LTE phone in America. Can the Samsung Craft on MetroPCS answer its WiMAX rivals in the marketplace today? Read more to find out.

MetroPCS brings the first LTE mobile phone to the market in the United States. The Samsung Craft is the first LTE phone available and PCMag has had the chance to go hands-on with the Craft.
Consumer review (letstalk.com)
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...
Consumer review (letstalk.com)
This phone is awesome the keyboard is awesome the camera is very good. I love how you can see the videos; they look beautiful on the screen, and the price was great too and is 4g. I love it the internet is super fast! Over all I will recomend this...
Consumer review (letstalk.com)
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...
