Huawei Ascend Introduced on MetroPCS
I think it’s great when Android phones launch without a contract for less than $200. This happened recently with Cricket Wireless, and the Huawei Ascend. This phone was $129 for the full price! MetroPCS just followed suit and launched the same phone for $179. It is not the highest spec’ed phone out there, admittedly, being fairly equivalent with the HTC Magic/T-Mobile MyTouch.
The specs are as follows:
- Android 2.1 Eclair
- 528 MHz Qualcomm MSM 7200A CPU
- 3.5 inch HVGA display
- WiFi
- QCIF video recording
- 3.2MP camera
- Micro USB
- Bluetooth 2.1
Nothing special, but then again it is a fully working, new Android phone for less than $200 without a contract.

Hmm. I can see where its a lot like a Mytouch 3G with a bigger screen. But I would say it is more comparable to the Iphone 3GS. With the same size and resolution screen, Multitouch, 256MB ram, and proximity sensor. Also overall body size and weight is very close to the Iphone 3GS. I love my Mytouch 3G and my Mytouch4G, but put it in perspective for all the iTards out there. Cus there is a lot of em.
