Pictured above is the Huawei Ascend II, the follow-up to the original model that launched on Cricket last October. For some reason I thought we had heard advanced word of the Ascend II dropping, but a cursory search reveals no such rumor. In any case, it’s not the highest end Android handset, coming with a 3.5-inch screen, 600MHz processor, and a 5 megapixel camera. It does have Android 2.3, which is the latest version of the operating system for smartphones. The retail price of the phone is $179.99, but you can get it at Cricket’s website for $129.99. You’ll need at least the $55 Android plan. If you want a deal on the original Ascend, it’s down to $109.99. ]]>
