This is my favorite thread, because this is the one that started it all for me and lots of others. The Huawei Ascend was in its time the most affordable Android on the market, and allowed tens of thousands of people to introduce themselves to Android. People who found the cost of smartphone ownership to be prohibitive, were finally allowed in the game. This is why this is my favorite thread. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the Huawei Ascend.
not entering the contest (have never won any sort of contest in my life, Lol)
Just wanted to add a side note about the ascend and the guide mentioned..
Dana has a good point, before the ascend I rarely saw androids being used on Miami transit that didn't cost a paycheck for most people. Even though you can't buy them new (to my knowledge) I still get pm's regarding the phone and specifically this guide (I wrote it) and respond ASAP.
For a lower income bracket the ascend was, is and, will still be, the first android many people use.
I have a ton of thank-you letters from users who were android illiterate who are no longer so nervous about roms and recovery.
Being able to create this guide, and thus the door for new users to the phan club, would not have been possible without the phandroid forums, as we all were once learning about androids on 600mhz devices at one point... the difference is the ascend was 150 and the guide is "priceless"
I am honored to have my (now mildly neglected ) work of love selected to be included in this contest.
