Pros:

Runs Android 2,3, Inexpensive monthly plans.
The Samsung Admire has a simple, straightforward design with enough features to keep you busy and entertained. We appreciate the support for the Gingerbread OS and the access to MetroPCS' new Rhapsody Unlimited Music service.

Cons:

Mediocre call quality, No 3G (or 4G), Low-quality camera.
The Samsung Admire had variable call quality with low volume and occasional audio cutouts. We had problems with the speakerphone in particular.
