Review: Huawei Ascend

Form Basics Extras Video Tour Wrap-Up Comments

The Huawei Ascend comes with the standard set of messaging options. Text messaging is threaded, so you can see both sides of the conversation in a friendly format reminiscent of an instant message chat. Speaking of IM, the Ascend only has support for Google Talk preloaded, you'll have to find a third-party app if you want more IM services on this phone. Email is split into an Email app for IMAP and POP accounts, and a Gmail app which offers more features and a better interface, only for Gmail users.

There are no other special messaging features on this phone, not even a custom widget from Huawei to let you read your emails from the homescreen panels.
