The TCL ION X will become one of the most affordable Metro by T-Mobile phones tomorrow, fetching $119.99... with an outdated design and a largely disappointing spec sheet.
If there's one thing both Metro by T-Mobile and TCL are known for, that's without a doubt the extreme affordability of their technologically humble handsets.
