metro discontinued the ascend

[micknutts]

yep if i new metro was going to still care the ascend online or at some other store. i would of bought it there ,do like the dts on the phone

I just don't see that being the replacement for the Ascend. They are probably getting ready to release the Ascend 2 or some other phone that is at least a little bit better than the Ascend. I don't see them offering a worse phone as a replacement.

 

[dbradford32]

The M835 is just a temporary lapse, until they have a release of the Ascend 2, on cricket. I hope that Metro gets the ascend 2... If they don't, hope they get something better from huawei! Seriously! I love huawei! I love my ascend. It might not be the fastest phone on the market, might not have flash, but it does what I want it to do!

 

[Gmash]

i know all that but is it better than the ascend what s the cpu to it does it really have a gpu like they say

2.8" screen LOL. A guy on Howard Forums says it has the same chipset as the Ascend. I don't see any reason for this phone to exist. Again-2.8 inches? Get some reading glasses lol.

I agree , if u wanna down grade to 2.8 inches then go for it , but bigger is always better , my ascend is rooted and just fine .

Probably going to roll out a new midrange phone. Typically from what i have seen of Metro is that they will bring out a cheap smart phone (M835), a mid range, and then a high end...Well for Metro high end..lol

Like how they did the Ascend, Optimus, then Indulge..So maybe in Aug we will see a Moto, or Ascend 2 or Ascend X, then maybe a Moto, or HTC in Sept or Oct for the high end...Maybe...Probably will be another Samsung..which are not bad devices.

i believe its the Tap Out Edition, how is the camera better if it has the same mega pixel as the Ascend? 3.2

it has auto zoom the screen is smaller tho its hard enough to use the keyboard on this one u need a toddler to txt for u on that

 

[pooh19]

..The Huawei Ascend is still in most MEtro stores.
THis is just a new phone which barely came out and from the looks fo it and what ive heard, its a pretty great deal! And good phone!
The Tapout Edititon is the one discontinued...

 

[pooh19]

you really think that metro can come out with an HTC anytime soon? especiallyy since they almost barely came out with their android phones.
Metro updates their phones every 1 or 2 years
I think what we can expect is MAYBE phoens with better cameras and MAYBE running on 2.3 but sitll...not anything to extravagent

If they come out with an HTC phone, it will probably be something like the Wildfire S, which is basically like an HTC version of the Optimus.

Metro's CEO stated in a press release in January that they would be introducing 6 new android phones to their market in 2011. So far we have had 2. The Ascend Tap Out (Which failed miserably) and now the M835, which for the cost will probably do decent as it is a good intro phone, and now that the LG is cheap, it will do well for them. I would look for another one or two mid range phones like the LG to hit next month, or possibly sept. The high end phones will probably hit in late Nov/ early Dec to get the end of year sales up. Although from what i have seen thus far from Metro phones do not go expecting anything truly great like an iPhone, or an EVO from them.

nevermind lol

Well after hunting around our own forums here i found this nice little article...
http://androidforums.com/metro-pcs/331951-metro-pcs-getting-new-android-phones-soon.html

Seeing as its already labled for Metro, now its just when Metro will start to carry it..I would gladly pay 300 for this phone...Also rumor has it that the newest top of the line phone for Metro is going to be the HTC Envy, slated for release in early 2012..Super Processor and 16gb of on board ram...again the HTC is just rumors...but the LG is clearly marked for Metro

 

[Gmash]

I had a nice little chuckle at the "HTC Envy". 2.3ghz processor, 12mp front AND rear cameras, 83gb memory card, and, oh yeah, the phone is FRIGGIN' INVISIBLE! LOL! All that and its coming to Metro late this year/early next for $350 without a contact? Awesome. Trolling at its finest.

i know they will double the price for a phone like that.

hell yea they would

Double yeah right..lol..if it were a real phone, with those spec's if Metro did get it, i would expect to see about a 600 price tag on it easily..lol..

My hopes are still on the LG Bryce..its got some really great features and spec's. Hopefully Metro will put them at the 300 range with discounts included in that range.

And it's gonna be a 6g phone. Metro is skipping right over 5g like they did with 3g.
