Cricket ships Huawei Ascend Q, offers Android chatting for $140 prepaid

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/07/huaweidsc05825.jpg Huawei had said it would deliver the Ascend Q in August, and it didn’t waste a moment – Cricket is selling the Android 2.3 messager as of today for $140 on its prepaid smartphone plans. While the OS, 800MHz processor, 3.2-inch display and fixed-focus 3.2-megapixel camera won’t knock any socks off, we found the Ascend Q a solid phone for compulsive chatters when we tried it last month. There’s also a 4GB microSD card in the box to get the ball rolling. One minor surprise: Muve Music is getting a minor boost through DTS audio processing that reportedly fills out the sound. As long as there’s no expectations of a media extravaganza, Huawei’s new hardware could be one of the better bargains in Cricket’s stable.
