We’ve laid our eyes (and hands) on the Ascend G 300 a pair of times, first while it was sneaking past the FCC , then shortly after that when we took it for a quick spin at MWC in Barcelona . Now, Huawei’s Gingerbread handset is prepping to land in the UK on Friday the 13th, being available exclusively at Vodafone. Just as we predicted, the device won’t be much of a burden on anyone’s wallet, with the carrier pricing it at

Huawei Mercury for Cricket gains unlimited Muve Music service, challenges aural appetites

Read more
 

Consider it a bit of a rebirth. Cricket’s premiere smartphone, the Huawei Mercury — known elsewhere as the Honor — has just taken on a new life as a member of the carrier’s Muve Music lineup. Beginning today, current owners may add the unlimited music subscription service to their phone via an over-the-air download. The requisite Muve Music plan is available for $65/month, which is a $10 premium over the carrier’s traditional no-contract Android offering. The service comes with unlimited music downloads, ringtones and ringback tones, along with unlimited calling, messaging and 1GB of mobile data. For a quick refresh on the Mercury itself, the phone retails for $230 without contract, and highlights include a 1.4GHz processor, a 4-inch, 854 x 480 TFT-LCD display, an 8MP rear camera — and now, an endless supply of tunes. Ready to rock out? You’ll find the full PR after the break.

Huawei hardware won't be part of National Broadband Network, says Australia

Huawei just can’t catch a break — first the US blocks it from being a part of its first responder wireless network , and now, Australia is following suit. According to the Australian Financial Review , the Shenzhen-based outfit has been barred from tendering contracts for the country’s A$43 billion National Broadband Network on the advice of the Australian Security Intelligence Organization. Alexander Downer, of Huawei’s Australian board directors, called the situation “ridiculous,” postulating that “the whole concept of Huawei being involved in cyber-warfare is based on the company being Chinese.” This isn’t the first time Huawei has had to combat suspicions of espionage, last year the outfit assured the US government that a “thorough investigation will prove that Huawei is a normal commercial institution and nothing more.” Cheer up, Huawei, the smartphone market still loves you.

Gartner pegs Samsung as China's top smartphone maker, ranks Apple fifth overall

Read more
 

Analysts at the research firm Gartner have come out and crowned Samsung as the most popular smartphone producer in China. The Korean manufacturer beat out others such as Nokia, Huawei, ZTE and Apple to score the title, and now boasts a rather impressive 24.3 percent market share in the country. While the iPhone 4S is portrayed as the most desired handset in China, Gartner suggests its limited availability with carriers played a large role in Samsung’s achievement. The report provides a stark contrast with Apple’s global success, which was recently named by Gartner as the top smartphone manufacturer in the world. The importance of China can’t be overlooked, however, which is now projected to overtake the United States as the largest smartphone market. Until Apple further expands its carrier reach, it appears to be smooth sailing for Samsung — unless Nokia is able to apply some pressure from its new Windows Phone handsets , that is.
