Cricket will soon add a new Android smartphone to its portfolio – ZTE Engage. The soon-to-be-launched device will be available for $249.99 at Cricket stores, dealers and mycricket.com beginning Tuesday, October 2, 2012. We’re talking about a low-to-mid range Android phone that comes with a 4-inch WVGA touchscreen, 1.4GHz single-core Qualcomm MSM8655T Scorpion processor, 8-megapixel camera with LED flash on the back, front-facing VGA camera, Bluetooth 2.1 and a microSD memory card slot.
Presuming you get the Engage, you’ll also need some voice minutes, texts and data with it. Cricket suggests three no-contract smartphone plans, starting at $50 for unlimited talk, text and 3G data plus 1GB of full-speed data per month. Slightly more expensive $60 option packs 2.5GB of full-speed data per month, while the $70 smartphone plan offers 5GB of full-speed data per month. Both the $60 and $70 plans include tethering support.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. 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.
