Remember the Samsung Freeform? You should. It made an appearance late last year for Alltel Wireless. But in all honesty, it didn’t make that big of a splash. The phone is a generic, full QWERTY keyboard messaging device, but other than that, it’s just another phone. It’ll be great for the dad out there that doesn’t want to pay too much for a device, but wants to give their kid something they can text on, we’re sure.
We’re not saying that it doesn’t have some cool, or interesting at the very least, features. For example, it has a pretty big 2.2-inch QCIF color display, which makes the colors just pop. No, not like AMOLED, but probably close enough for what you’re buying. The full QWERTY keyboard that we mentioned is a full four-rows, so it’ll be easy on your fingers when you’re texting all super-quick and what not. It’s also got you covered in the memory expansion area, as you can shove a 16GB MicroSD in there to maximize your listening pleasure. That’s right, it’s also got an MP3 player in there, with the ability to make playlists, even.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any word on what pricing will be, or when the device will make it to store shelves. But this probably won’t break the bank, so no worries. Oh, and if red isn’t your color, it also comes in teal, but we’re not sure if that’s actually going to be available for MetroPCS or not.
