MetroPCS Samsung Indulge Set For Release on February 23rd for $399.99

By on January 22, 2011

Samsung IndulgeAccording to the latest information available the MetroPCS Samsung R910 Indulge will be launched on February 23rd, with pricing set at $399.99.

This will place the launch of the Indulge around the same time as the highly anticipated Thunderbolt 4G for Verizon, also expected late next month and plays into the regional carrier’s goal to beat Verizon to the punch and claim to be the first American carrier to have an LTE smartphone on the market, just as it claimed to be the first carrier with an operational LTE network and phone with the Samsung Craft last year to mixed reviews.

The Indulge is the LTE capable variant of the Samsung Transform sold on Sprint with a sliding QWERTY keyboard, Android 2.2, 1GHz processor, front facing camera, 5.0 megapixel main camera with flash and video capture along with a microSDHC slot and Bluetooth with stereo audio support.

    There was some confusion and you will find internet postings where both names are mentioned, but once the dust settled it turns out Forte was the pre-production name and Indulge is the actual production name. It’s showing up already in Metro inventory ordering system as the Indulge.
