After first being made available via selected Walmart locations in the past few weeks as well as through its online store as a timed exclusive, StraightTalk has launched the phone through its online store for $229.99. The Huawei W1 is the Chinese manufacturer’s first Windows Phone 8 device and features the following:
- 4″ IPS LCD Touchscreen Display
- Windows® Phone 8
- 1.2GHZ Dual Core Processor
- 5 MP Camera/1.3MP Front Facing Camera
- Customizable Live Tiles
- Tap + Send
- Kid’s Corner
- 3G/Wi-Fi® Connectivity
- People Hub
- Xbox Music
- Access to over 130,000 Live Apps in Windows Phone Marketplace
- Supports microSD™ Card up to 32GB
- Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC) Rating: M3
- Battery talk time up to 7 hours
- Standby time up to 13 days
- Includes Battery, Charger, Activation Card, Services Guide and Quick Reference Manual.
The W1 marks a departure for StraightTalk’s GSM as it’s a brand new device powered by AT&T despite the virtual operator’s falling out with the carrier earlier this year regarding BYOD, with AT&T pulling support and subsequently forcing Straight Talk to transition to T-Mobile for BYOD support while drastically reducing AT&T powered smartphone availability to markets that were not served by any other carriers as well as ceasing sales of AT&T SIM cards.
I’m really fanning of window phone especially their home screen. I am really amazed on it. Maybe some other time I will try to have a windows phone to test and to see if it is really good.
