Huawei Ascend II free at US Cellular after rebate and signed contract

It's the season for giving and regional carrier U.S. Cellular is doing some giving of its own by giving away the Huawei Ascend II. Actually, you will have to lay out $100 which you get back in the form of a mail-in rebate, and you will have to put your John Hancock on a two-year contract. This is not your high end Android 4.0 model to be sure, but considering the bottom-line price, it seems like a good deal for U.S. Cellular customers.

Just to refresh your memory, the Huawei Ascend II comes with a 3.5 inch display with HVGA resolution. A 600MHz single-core processor is under the hood with 256MB of RAM on board. A 2 GB microSD card comes on the unit out of the box, and the device accepts up to 32GB of additional storage. A 5MP camera is on the rear while Android 2.3 is pre-installed on the phone.

Besides the Huawei Ascend II, U.S. Cellular is also offering the Samsung Repp and the HTC Wildfire S (in Grey) both for free after a mail-in rebate and a signed two-year pact for each model. Like the Ascend II, these are not your top of the line, dual-core models. Still, for those just moving to a smartphone or are forced by economic realities to pay as little as they can for a new handset, you could do a lot worse than these models.
