And so it begins. With T-Mobile recently closing the deal to acquire MetroPCS, it was only a matter of time before we’d see more commingling. PhoneArena‘s uncovered yesterday that MetroPCS is about start using T-Mobile’s network and GSM handsets. Two phones which are currently available on T-Mobile — the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Exhibit (a Galaxy S III mini clone) and the LG Optimus L9 — are making their way to MetroPCS, complete with GSM / EDGE and AWS-capable UMTS / HSPA+ radios (no LTE). Pricing for these devices is still unknown, but the company’s expected to begin selling plans on T-Mobile’s network as soon a June 12th. In addition, a service called BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone) will allow customers to bring their own GSM handsets to MetroPCS (excluding BlackBerry models). It’s unclear if eligible devices have to be unlocked and / or T-Mobile branded but we’ll find out soon enough. So there you have it — the start of a perfect honeymoon.

At first glance, what do you think of the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit? What? It looks familiar, and you are hit by a sense of deja vu? Well, that is definitely to be expected, since this is actually the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini that has been rebadged as the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit for those who are subscribed to T-Mobile USA. This is definitely guaranteed to sow seeds of confusion among the less informed man on the street, considering Samsung Galaxy Exhibit is dangerously close to another device that is known as the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G, which itself, (wait for it), was renamed from Samsung Exhibit II. Man, all of these are giving me a headache, and I will need to sit down and take a penicillin with a glass of cold water.
Well, the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit aka Galaxy S3 mini will feature the model number SGH-T599, sporting a dual-core processor, a WVGA display, and a 5-megapixel camera that clearly places this in the mid-range end of things. On the bright side, this means that the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit will not cause too much damage to your pocket if you want one, as it is set to roll out before Q1 is over.
