Once we think \” craft,\” we expect of airplanes, boats, and perhaps the occasional needlepoint project — but all kidding aside, we\’ve definitely heard worst names than \” Craft\” for a chief phone launch, so we\’ve got nothing to complain about here. Regional carrier MetroPCS has announced on its latest earnings call that its first LTE phone — the FCC-approved R900 from Samsung — will come to market as the Craft at a value inside the same range as its current smartphone lineup inclusive of the Code for $250 and the BlackBerry Curve 8530 for $280. These guys are still on the right track to launch in Vegas this year, however now seems like they\’ll be adding Dallas-Ft. Worth into the mixture as it moves to finish its 4G build-out early next year. It\’s a seriously aggressive timeline for a carrier traditionally known for reasonable voice and text, not blazing data — but hey, who are we to complain?
