Yup, we knew Huawei is looking to the U.S. market to brings its LTE smartphones to Americans and today we know their first client – MetroPCS. The carrier launched a rather mediocre Huawei Activa 4G smartphone, which aside LTE connectivity isn’t special in any regard. Then again, I guess we shouldn’t expect much more from a device that sells for $149 sans any contracts (plus tax and after rebates).
Specs wise, the Activa 4G sports a 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen, 5-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, VGA front-facing one, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show. MetroPCS’ press release doesn’t reveal the processor’s clock speed, though we assume it’s an 800MHz or 1GHz.
So is it worth $149? Perhaps, though we’re sure we won’t be getting it. What about you?

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
