Cricket launches low-cost A100 in Chicago

One day it’s Cricket rolling out service in Chicago. The next it’s the launch of a new handset. That’s the Cricket A100 you see above, a mid-range candybar now available to customers in the Greater Chicago area. Funny, in the description it doesn’t mention Bluetooth capabilities, which I suppose, in this day in age, would send it down to the low-range categorization. There’s honestly nothing to report on the phone, other than it can perform your basic talk/text function, plus handle mobile Web, games, and apps. It’ll cost $89.99, one of the cheaper Cricket handsets, and will be available in other markets soon.]]>
