In case anyone hasn’t caught on yet, there are more carriers in the United States than just the big 4. Metro PCS is actually the fifth biggest wireless carrier in the United States with over 7-million customers to date. Even if they’re a long ways away from being considered a major player, it would be foolish to deny their existence.
If the latest rumor to come out of Android Guys is anything to go by, then that fool isn’t Motorola: they’re suggesting that an Android-based handset will make its way to the carrier at some point. The phone that their source described ran Android 2.1 with MOTOBLUR, had a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 3-megapixel camera and a 600Mhz processor.
Those are all the details that could be extracted at this time, but we’ll be keeping a tab on this one should anything more come up down the line.
