Huawei Glory for Cricket passes the FCC gauntlet

We’ve actually seen the Huawei Glory before. When we did, though, it had a different name (a name that may still see international waters). Under the guise of the Huawei Glory for Cricket, the Honor is indeed a high-end device heading for the regional carrier, Cricket, as we can see from the pretty obvious branding on the back of the device.

The image you’re looking at above comes from the FCC themselves as the device went through their paces. The device itself will feature a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 854×480. There’s a 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8655T processor under the hood, an 8MP camera around back with a 2MP front-facing shooter, and 2GB of built-in storage. There’s a 1900mAh battery to power you throughout the day (hopefully). Android 2.3 will be available right out of the box.

Unfortunately the FCC isn’t quick to give out launch dates or pricing, so we’ll have to keep an eye out on this one. But if you’re a Cricket subscriber that’s been waiting to get your hands on a pretty impressive high-end device, the Glory may just be your next handset.

ITS COING AND DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE ASCEND2 ITS THE SAME THING ONLY WITH FLASH AND BETTER CAMERA

Uhhhh yeah its not the same phone.....at all.....like not even close to being the same phone. 

bitch please.... 1.4 Ghz vs a 600Mhz! ha! 8mp and 2mp ff camera vs a 5mp, HA! the honors upgradeable to ICS VS not being able. Yea you have NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! FYI I have an ascend 2 thats what Im typing this msg with... Im happily waiting for the huawei glory/ honor/ mercury w/e...

I like the Ascend 2 and was going to get it this week but, then I heard and saw the Glory. I want to wait for the Glory but, I really need a new phone asap. I wish someone would give a straight answer on a release date. I have even called a couple Cricket stores and they know nothing about it even coming. WTF.

i keep seeing everywhere that it will be november 4th just in time for christmas.  i messed up and got the samsung indulge and wished i had waited till this phone came out.  its suppose to be released this month if i were you i would hold on cause the ascend 2 really isnt that good of a phone. 

-It will be called the Huawei Mercury (not Glory)-1.4 ghz processor-Android 2.3-Front facing camera-8 mp camera-It will cost $250 (not $300)-It will come out in December (not November)

I hear that this phone is expected to be released in November. I hope so because I've been waiting since August when I heard about it.

I have the Huawei Ascend II and i was impressed But! This the Huawei Glory will not only bring "Glory" to Cricket but also place Huawei on High Recognition ... I cant wait get my hands on it
