The Huawei Mercury is the latest addition to Cricket and it’s a decent phone really. The Mercury has got a 4” screen, a 1.4ghz CPU, 8mp rear camera, VGA front camera, wi-fi, Stereo Bluetooth, a mobile hotspot and of course it’s running Android. Price is $249.99 and that’s not too bad for the specs the Mercury has and supposedly you can get it right now but I visited the Cricket site and didn’t see it there.
