Cricket officially announces MSGM8 II

As I said two weeks ago, devices usually hit carriers pretty soon after they pass through the FCC. On that day we saw two handsets get the seal of approval. First was the Samsung Craft. It won’t be available soon, but it has been announced, so that’s a step. The other was the MSGM8 II, which we assumed was headed for Cricket. We got that announcement today. The ZTE handset has a 1.3 megapixel camera, full QWERTY keyboard, and plenty of other multimedia functions. You can get it for $60 at Cricket’s website. It will work well with the $45 monthly plan. ]]>
