Great for using as Skeet Practice!
Phone owned for more than a year

The is the worse cell phone I have ever owned. I bought mine through Straghttalk. The phone constantly shut off and restarts all on its own. I have tried factory resetting this thing hundreds of times with no luck. The processor is so slow. I constantly get low space messages when downloading apps. It has a 4gig SD card in it. It says multi tasking in the manual, thanks a joke! Huawei should be ashamed of this product!

Okay for starter smartphone, but...
Phone owned for more than a year

... this isn't exactly top of the line. It was good for it's intended purpose, which was a basic no frills smartphone. But, that's about it. As my particular Ascend got older, it's been a complete pain to deal with. It's run a lot slower on a 3G network and even on Wifi. Storage is a pain in the neck; it doesn't allow you to store too many apps on memory and you're still stuck with apps that you don't want, need or use. I'm not sure if there's a newer model on the market, but I don't think I'll recommend any Hwawei product in the future.

Huawei ascend II
Phone owned for less than 3 months

I wish straight talk would include a better manual that told you how to use/find all of the options of the phone. The internal memory is pathetic, and not all of the options are user friendly. That being said I think the phone is a decent entry into the Android market, and a fair price. It has most of the features and options of phones that cost 4 times as much. Battery life is poor.
