The FCC has revealed the S1300 candybar phone with CDMA AWS 1700 support.

The phone features 1xRTT data, speakerphone, and support for messaging, email, and voice control along with A-GPS support.

No carrier branding is present, but the support for the CDMA AWS band denotes that either MetroPCS or Cricket may carry the phone at some point with nothing confirmed at this time.
