MetroPCS LG Esteem confirmation

Internal MetroPCS documentation has confirmed that the carrier will launch the LG Esteem high-end Android smartphone next week on September 29th, with the latest information suggesting that pricing will be set at $349.99 before an additional $50 mail-in rebate, bringing the total to $299.99, placing it inline with the current high-end model in the Samsung Galaxy Indulge.

Additionally, the launch of the Esteem will also coincide with the launch of the Rhapsody streaming music service, which will be included with select LTE service plans as well as being offered as an optional monthly service.

The LG Esteem features a  4.3 inch display, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 512MB RAM, front facing camera, main camera of unknown resolution with flash, HDMI output, microSD slot, Android Gingerbread 2.3.4, 4GB internal memory (reduced from the 16GB internal of the Revolution), and WiFi hotspot support to be launched in October, which would make it the first Android smartphone on MetroPCS to support such functionality on an official basis.
