LEAKED: PHOTOS OF FIRST LTE PHONE, SAMSUNG EPIC
Some man, claiming to be a tester of the Samsung Craft, has posted pictures of the highly anticipated phone. The phone was first mentioned earlier this month by MetroPCS CEO, Roger Linquist, after discussing the company’s second quarterly earnings. He gave no additional information, but did mention that MetroPCS will have their LTE network available in two pilot areas, Las Vegas and Dallas-Ft. Worth, by the second half of 2010. The phone will be released along with the launch of these two areas later this Fall.

With the release of the Samsung Craft, MetroPCS will be the first cell phone carrier offering LTE technologies in the United States. Verizon will likely soon follow, as they intend to release LTE by 2011. Sprint is currently the only carrier claiming 4G technology, as they utilize WiMAX, not LTE, technology that is currently available. HTC created the first Sprint 4G phone, the EVO, but Samsung manufactured their second, the Epic.
