CNET have published a review of the Huawei Ascend (MetroPCS) smartphone. 'For a budget smartphone, the Huawei Ascend has its charms. It features rounded corners and a sloping chin. Its glossy black plastic face and back are dressed up with a dark gray bezel and polished chrome sides. While we wouldn't recommend dropping it, the Ascend looks like it could take a few licks and keep on ticking. At 4.5 inches tall by 2.4 inches wide by 0.55 inch deep, it's on par with other smartphones in terms of pocketability. Weighing in at 4.7 ounces, the Ascend has a very solid feel in the hand, and it's comfortable against the ear. We prefer touch screens measuring 3.5 inches or more for optimal visibility and touch usability, and the Ascend fits the bill. Its 3.5-inch HGVA display has a 480x320-pixel resolution and supports 262,000 colors. Sure, it's not the most advanced screen on the market, but for this price and feature set, it doesn't need to be. We had no complaints all around.'

CNET have published a review of the Samsung Freeform II SCH-r360 (MetroPCS) multimedia messaging phone. 'The Freeform II sports a 2.2-inch QVGA screen with a 144x176-pixel resolution that supports 262,000 colors. The colors are bright and the edges look crisp; however, the screen is rather small. Below the display is the attractive navigation array. A wide, four-way toggle surrounds a central Select button, and is in turn surrounded by the soft keys, the speakerphone button, and the Back button. The Talk and End buttons flank the navigation toggle. All are easy to press, and navigating the phone feels natural using the directional toggle. We'd really like it if the Select button doubled as an optical trackpad. When you're in the main menu mode, pressing the Select button cycles you through a number of apps, including Loopt, MetroNavigator, PocketExpress, Mobile Banking, and a slew of other MetroPCS-branded apps.'
