This is one of those times when you should get excited about an oddity. You know good and well, if you've been following along diligently, that yours truly loves the oddness, and when that oddness comes out arms swinging with a 4-inch 854x480 pixel resolution display, 8-megapixel camera, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread in tow, it's time to report. What this device is known as is the Huawei M886 aka Cricket Glory or Huawei Glory. From now on let's just call it Glory.

Samsung Indulge heads to Cricket and packs a punch

Cricket Wireless just got what we would call a nice mid-range Android phone named the Samsung Indulge. It looks like a mini Samsung Epic in a way and features some similar hardware inside making it a great phone for those on Cricket. It comes with Android 2.2 on board with a 1 Ghz processor, 3.5" display, Touch Wiz 3.0 and the weakest link would be the 3 MP camera on the rear but that is plenty for those Facebook photos right? All this for the low price of $329. Not bad when you don't have to sign a contract of any sort.
