T-Mobile Prism Is A Huawei-made Budget Android Smartphone – $20, 3G, 3.5″ Display And Gingerbread
Sometimes, you just need a budget smartphone. T-Mobile will have another budget-Android by May 6, and it’ll cost just $20 (after a $50 mail-in rebate). The company hasn’t revealed a lot of specs, but I managed to get some of them. Here they are -
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread
- 3.5″ TFT LCD display of 480×320 resolution
- 600 MHz processor
- 3.2 MP camera on the back, no front facing camera
- 2 GB memory card pre-loaded
- 3G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi
You can get the Prism, made by Huawei, for $20 on May 6th with a 2-year contract. If you dislike the idea of Contracts, you can get it for as low as $150. That’d be an impulse buy, I’d guess.
Here’s the presser.
