Just wanted to know if anyone (hopefully in the Philadelphia area) has metropcs? If so what do you think of it? Looking for an andriod phone with unlimited text and data plan but don't want to pay 80+ a month for it. The coverage map for my area (19107) looks good and 40 bucks a month is right where i want to be.
(Only thing i do is make a couple of calls, receive texts, surf the web once in a while, and check my email. Not really a heavy user in any of the categories above)

Eh, why not the T-Mo Wal-Mart plan? (100m, 5gb data, unlimited text, $30/month.) Gives you way more phone options, most of which will let you switch to Straight Talk on the AT&T network (unlimited min, 2gb data, unlimited text, $45/month) if coverage turns out not to work for you.

edit: As for devices, the One S used on Swappa is probably the best value, but if you want new you can get the Galaxy S2 for $300 at Wal-Mart or, if you don't care about updates, the LG Optimus L9 at T-Mo online for $200. Wouldn't get anything lower-end than that.
