MetroPCS Launches Samsung Code

The Samsung i220 Code that had made its way to U.S. Cellular earlier this summer is now available on MetroPCS (NYSE: PCS) as well. For $299.99 off contract, you get a modest package, including a 2 megapixel camera, full QWERTY keyboard, 4-way jog wheel, and Windows Mobile 6.1. Speaking of which, this is the first WinMo handset metroPCS is offering, and fills out a rather sparce selection of proper smartphones. With Exchange support, it’ll make a fine (if blockish), cheaper e-mail alternative to the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) 8330. Hit up the metroPCS online store to check out the Samsung Code for yourself.
