Huawei Prism / Reviews

The Huawei Prism isn't ever going to be an iconic smartphone that everyone -- or anyone, really -- lusts over. It's not that kind of device. Instead, it hopes to provide a simple feature set in an inexpensive wrapper to those seeking the basic entry-level smartphone. In that quest, it succeeds.

The Prism is no stunner in the design department, and the middling specs will scare off anyone looking for even a moderately capable smartphone. What the Prism lacks in looks and extravagant software powers, it makes up for with solid performance in the core features.

The one real exception is the camera. In short, the Prism's camera stinks. If that's a vital feature for you, look elsewhere.

Otherwise, the Prism does an excellent job of connecting to T-Mobile's network, offers outstanding voice performance, and has enough battery power to keep the phone alive for two full days. Throw in decent system performance and the functional communications tool set offered by stock Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread, and you have a fairly good basic smartphone that's well worth the $20 contract price.

I own this phone with wind mobile.
First thing you need to do is root it and alter the start up apps.
1. Root phone (backup phone rom first)
2. Install swiftkey for better keyboard
3. Install go launcher for app folders and better looks
4. Install system tuner pro and alter the startup programs, adjust idle cpu speed to 420 and max and 600mhz *stay the same
5. Install juice defender pro *must be rooted to double battery life
6. Enjoy a phone that is every bit as good as the samsung galaxy S

Email me if you have any questions about it. Its honestly a great phone if your not a gamer. I have an 8 gb sd card installed with around 80-90 apps and 4 gb of music. Phone still runs perfectly.
