Optus and Telstra love a good slinging match: first they launch cheap crap-tablets, then they release the same tablet and phone and now we can add selling similar $99 prepaid phones. Yep that’s right, Optus is now selling their own $99 prepaid device: the Huawei X1. Here are some of its lackluster specs:
- 2.8″ QVGA (240 x 320) Capacitive Display
- Android 2.2
- 528MHz Qualcomm CPU
- 3.2MP Camera
- Expandable MicroSD Slot
- 900/2100MHz 3G
- Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth 2.1
- 90grams
The specs aren’t that great, but for $99 you can’t expect greatness now can you? Personally I’d tell anyone looking to buy an Android device with a QVGA screen to not even bother. Let us know what you think of Telstra and Optus’ device slinging match in the comments.
