Looking for a cheap Android handset? Well, Cricket has just released the Huawei Ascend II which is available right now for $129.99 contract-free if you buy it right now since they're slashing $50 off the price if you pick it up online. If you're interested in a smartphone plan then it'll cost you $55 monthly. Check it out on Cricket.

Cricket has just unveiled two phones at CTIA today and they're, of course, both running Google's Android OS. Both of the handsets are CDMA and on the left side you have the Huawei Ascend, which is already available, and on the right it's the upcoming Huawei Ascend 2 which is going to hit the carrier in the future. The display is, unfortunately, still HVGA and it's got an improved 5MP camera on the back. This one will be available for $150 contract-free so that's pretty great.

The other handset that they teased to us is the Samsung Indulge (below) which we've been seeing for a long time. This is the same Samsung Android QWERTY-packing handset that's on MetroPCS but this one's only sporting CDMA connectivity - no LTE (4G). This one's also packing an HVGA display and it's going to launch for $350 contract-free.
