Pre-paid wireless provider MetroPCS on Monday announced it has added the Samsung Code to its lineup. The handset is the carrier's first with the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system. With the OS, users can access contacts, a calendar, tasks, notes, a voice recorder and Windows Live. The WizPro interface is optional and lets users customize home screens by making shortcuts to the most frequently accessed features.

The Samsung Code also supports push e-mail and can sync with Microsoft Outlook Mobile thanks to ActiveSync. The 3G capable Code has a full HTML browser along with stereo Bluetooth and a 2-megapixel camera. There is a full hardware QWERTY keyboard, along with a 2.4-inch, 320x240 display. MicroSDHC cards up to 32GB are supported.

The Code is now available for $299 unsubsidized at MetroPCS.
