  • "Way better than ZIO! Great phone!"
    4.0 stars
    on by joshredux

    Pros: Comparing the ZIO (Cricket's other Android phone) to the Huawei Ascend isn't even fair. The screen on the Huawei is far more responsive, apps run much faster and it feels like a quality phone in your hand where the ZIO fails on all accounts.

    Cons: So far, after two weeks, I am still very impressed. Added a 16gb card still no slow response times. The same 16gb card made my ZIO chug and freeze-up.

    Summary: Compared to the ZIO, the Huawei is a slam dunk!

    I whole heartedly agree. I was "given" the Ascend in exchange for my Zio which was nothing but problematic. We all gave up after 5 months of my running back and forth to my store (awesome service at my Cricket store btw.) Love the weight and feel of this phone and I've had no complaints about the reception either; even my voice mails are able to be heard without interruption. Only drawback I've found in 24 hrs is that call waiting can not be actived on this phone - says the feature code is empty. Cricket customer service (611) tells me they do not support call waiting on this phone but the store says factory reset. Tried *228 and can not program my phone that say so I'll be going back to the store tomorrow. If this can not be resolved I will stay with this phone - I absolutely love this phone and it was really, really hard to pry the Razr out of my hands.
