Samsung Forte LTE Phone In Fresh Pics; SCH-R910 the Real Model Name

Samsung Forte, the MetroPCS LTE phone is back, this time dubbed as the SCH-R910. Apparently, the handset uses TouchWiz UI and it was recently spotted in a series of Flickr pics, some of which you can see below.

This is Android 2.2.1 material, based on a 1GHz CPU and sporting a 5MP camera. Rumor has it that this device could receive Galaxy S branding when it finally reaches the MetroPCS stores. That sliding QWERTY keyboard is certainly appealing and we hope that Gingerbread will be available on this model sooner than Android 2.2 will reach the Galaxy S, in its many US versions.
