Possibly getting rid of my TP?

So Cricket has a new Android phone out that is only $130. I was thinking about getting it, I checked the specs and it's not that bad. I've heard so many good things about Android that I'm really anxious to try it out. It's called a Huawei Ascend.

Well, I'm asking the TP users if it's even worth it lol. How much do you love your TP?

Shouldn't this be something you ask of yourself? When all is said and done, I'm pretty sure your opinion should take precedence.

Either way, I do love my TP. I also love my TP2. I just haven't found an Android phone that's a) on my carrier and b) is a worthy replacement. I have some pretty high standards tho, and I can afford to be picky - I'm patient, and don't mind using my 'old' phones for years if it means waiting for the right device.

Well I went out on a limb and bought the thing and I love it. I only had my tp a couple months so its not a big deal for me lol.

I will admit the customer service sucks, but what carriers actually have good customer service? And 55 dollars for an everything unlimited 3G android plan is good enough for me
