Samsung Admire now on MetroPCS shelves, can be yours for $130

Didn’t see any budget phones on our Back to School list that tempt you? Perhaps the Samsung Admire (aka the R720 ) on MetroPCS might make the grade. Launched today — earlier than its expected September release, we might add — the Gingerbread-laden handset is being offered for $130 with the carrier’s $50 unlimited monthly plan. All in all, it’s pretty decent underneath the hood; among the specs are an 800MHz CPU powering a 3.5-inch HVGA display, as well as a 3.2MP camera. It’s also taking advantage of a respectable 1600mAh battery, though the battery life is rated at three hours of talk time.
