It seems Cricket won’t be the only carrier to offer the Huawei Honor (aka Mercury), with FCC approving the GSM-based version of the device (Cricket’s version is CDMA one) that can sing along AT&T’s 3G network (WCDMA 850 / 1900 MHz). That, however, doesn’t necessarily mean AT&T will launch the Honor, though we’re sure Huawei would like to see that happening. Perhaps the Chinese company is eyeing the Canadian market, or wants to offer the phone unlocked to the American public.
In any case, the Honor is one of the best Android phones Huawei has ever made, with its specs including a single-core 1.4GHz processor, 4-inch 854×480 pixels touchscreen, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, 8-megapixel camera on the back, front-facing camera (for video calls), and 4GB of internal memory that can be further expanded with microSD cards.
