We had been expecting MetroPCS to announce the Samsung Admire given we saw those leaked in the wild style images hit the web a short while back, however it looks like Cellular South has beaten them to the punch and officially announced the handset.
The details have come by way of the recently added “Introducing the Samsung Admire” page on the Cellular South website. Sadly though, that bit comes with some good news and some disappointing news.
First, the good — this is not a rumor or speculation and we know the handset is coming. Second, the disappointing — Cellular South has yet to offer up anything in terms of when the Admire will be available or how much they will be selling it for. At this time there is the overview of the handset with some basic specs and a place where you can trade some personal information for the privilege of being “among the first to find out when the Samsung Admire is available.”
Moving on though, judging from what we have seen, it looks like the Admire is going to be a mid-range device with a fairly reasonable price tag. Some of the specs include a 3.5 inch HVGA touchscreen display, 3.2 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3.5 mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot for your storage needs. And on a positive note, the Admire will be arriving with Android 2.3 Gingerbread as well as all the Google goodies including the Android Market.
All said and done, assuming a fair price, the Samsung Admire could be a nice device. Lastly, while we are waiting for more information from Cellular South
