US Cellular launches the Huawei Ascend II next week, costs you nothing (after rebate)

Coming next week to a US Cellular website near you… we provde the Huawei Ascend II . The carrier’s first Huawei device isn’t any stranger on American soil, having spent a very good five months on Cricket’s lineup . While the handset was available for $180 with out a contract on Cricket, US Cellular is offering it without spending a dime with a two-year commitment — after a $100 mail-in rebate. Perhaps it is not as more likely to induce salivation as we were hoping, nevertheless it should still be a temptation for several smartphone fans on the cheap that do not mind a freelance. The Android 2.3 device, complete with a three.5-inch HVGA display, 5MP camera and 600MHz CPU, is offered online next week and may be offered in stores in early January.
