A new Huawei device has been caught in the wild on its way to Cricket Wireless. Unlike other Android smartphones in Cricket’s portfolio, this one comes with a full QWERTY keyboard that sits beneath a 3.2-inch (HVGA?) screen. We’ve no idea what’s inside the device, though I doubt you’ll find a dual-core processor under the hood. After all, Cricket is best known for its affordable phones, which usually cost about $100.
There’s also one other mystery to the Ascend Q – whether it will be able to sing along Muve Music, Cricket’s popular music download service, offering unlimited calls, texts, data and song downloads for $55 per month. At the moment, the carrier offers few Android-powered Muve Music devices, including ZTE Score, ZTE Chorus and Samsung Vitality. As for Huawei-made products in its portfolio, there’s Ascend II and Mercury, both of which are low-to-mid end smartphones. We’ve no idea when the Huawei Ascend Q will be officially announced but it’s likely that will happen sooner rather than later.

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.
