Cricket launches Huawei Ascend Q

Fans of smartphones with full QWERTY keyboards on the face will find a new friend with Cricket. They just launched the Huawei Ascend Q, a low-level Android handset that looks something like a BlackBerry. It has a slow 800MHz processor (to further remind you of the BlackBerry) and has a screen that measures 3.2-inches. It runs Android 2.3, predictably, so it’s still an outdated version of the software. Chances are it will not get an upgrade to 4.0, so rooting the device and using a custom ROM might be the best choice. You can get teh Ascend Q for $140 from Cricket’s website. Via Phone Scoop.]]>
