Wanting to upgrade from Ascend...

[UOFLcards]

8m wanting to upgrade from the Ascend but stay with Cricket. What options do I have and are they much better than the Ascend? Or should I wait on an upcoming Ph that is rumoured to hit Cricket?

I upgraded to the Huawei Mercury and it's a great phone. 1.4GHz processor, 8mp camera with flash, and 4" Gorilla Glass screen. This phone is smooth as silk and a great deal for $249. Come join us in the Mercury forum!

Go to AMAZON & this phone(SAMSUNG VITALITY w/CRICKET) is only $85 NEW,sold & shipped by AMAZON(free shipping).

Or,buy the HUAWEI MERCURY direct from http://www.mycricket.com a $70 savings at $179 w/on-line discount & mail-in rebate.

You get TOKE w/the ADMIRE/VITALITY & GMASH w/the MERCURY,you can't lose either way.

Go try both out & see which is best for you.
One thing is certain,can't knock the price of either set.

BTW,the ASCEND II is only $99 on-line as well,might as well try it out while you're there.

Is there anything on the horizon worth waiting for on Cricket 9r should I just go with the Mercury?

 

[danaj]

I would go with the mercury. Also I want to point out that Huawei was one of the first to put out a phone with ICS, so maybe it will get updated to ICS in the future. I was too impatient to wait for the mercury, and I switched to tmobile and got an awesome phone, and a not awesome contract....I now regret leaving cricket. My phone is still awesome, but the contract sucks. I wish I had been patient enough to wait for the mercury.

Will more than likely be picking up this phone this weekend.

Can't wait.

Will be posting in the Mercury forum to get some tips on this phone.

See you there.

Can't buy the Mercury from the cricket site because I was told since I already have a cricket phone (Ascend) I have to purchase the Mercury from a local store to upgrade..........

Yeah, that's what sucks about Cricket. You could start a new line if you didn't care about your number changing. I wonder if you could do that, then port your number to the new phone after?
