The Huawei M750 touchscreen device has surfaced for MetroPCS, with launch set for today or tomorrow depending on market.
The M750 was previously revealed by the FCC earlier this year and features tri-band CDMA support, Bluetooth and a 1.3 megapixel camera along with microSDHC expansion slot. Pricing is set at $199.99.
Update: MetroPCS has launched the phone online at the aforementioned price.
Is Metro or Cricket going to be getting any Android devices?
yes they are, their getting 4g. next year
You are the resident Metro PCS hornblower, speculating on what you want to happen. If one of the writers backed this up I might believe it. Metro has said they plan to implement LTE next year but how, when and where need to be determined and I guess the same could be said of Android but they’ve made no claims to it
I recently purchased the Huawei M750, but when I connect it to the computer it needs a software to run through. Is it only because I have indows Vista or was the phone supposed to come with a software disc?
i want to get this phone but no one has done a review on it.
i just got this phone its not bad took about 30 min to get used to the touch screen. its no g1 but for the price it is a great phone .the cam is nice. other than that it its nice
im in the same position… i got as far as holding the phone but it wasnt on lol it looks nice but im curious of the fetures it actually comes with. cuz i love the samsung from metro but is it anything like that ?
oh my god can somebody please make a video on the huawei m750 on youtube i would love that thank you very much
does this phone allow streaming video on youtube..etc?
I am also wondering about the streaming . Can you access and watch videos on Youtube ?
Is the touchscreen accurate ?
Is it full web access ,as you would get on a PC ?
I just got the phone yesterday. its pretty good for what it is.
It doesnt require the smart phone plan. that should tell you what you can and can not do. so No youtube. no “real” web experience, just mobile web.
I did not receive a software disk, so i have no idea what to do with the usb cord it came with other than charge it with my computer.
I didnt like the touchscreen at first, but i quickly adapted. Interface is very intuitive. I did not feel frustrated for the first 5 min of using it like most phones. The software is pretty quick to respond to activate actions.
im new to metro pcs and like the navigation feature. its slow, but better than being lost.
you dont know need a cd to upload things on your phone just got to my computer and select the E:/ drive the swith items from your documents to the first to envelopes my music and my images. I got mine yesterday its a good phone so far. keyboard on screen is small but everything is good
AND YOU CAN BROWSE THE INTERNET YOU JUST HAVE TO GO THROUGH GOOGLE OR YAHOO OR AOL SEARCH ENGINE TO GET TO IT
of course you can browse the web, but its mobile web. so the resolution will stay at 320 and you cant resize it so it display s properly. its ok i guess. just dont expect any real efficient browsing.
Could some 1 tieel me if the Metro pcs huawei m750 is Navigator capable?………thx
@chris – Yes it does. but it seems to loose gps tracking very easily and wont try to find the signal again unless you back out and search again.
Whats the better phone the samsung 560 or the huawei m750
why are there still no reviews.. my phone is jacked and i need a new one…. pls someone video or say yea or neigh
from what i heard its a awsome phone i know 5 ppl that has it and i going to get 1 today
I work at a Metro store and we are still currently waiting on our Huawei’s.
In response to previous comments:
as far as getting android phones, I have heard absolutely nothing on this, at all.
LWS is still planned to be launched next year.
Huawei does not have HTML web browsing. Just like the majority of our other phones you enter MetroWeb and you browse the internet through Google.
My wife traded in her Samsung slider for the Huawei M750 and she’s loving it. I’m looking for software to interface it with our laptops or desktop but overall its a great phone out of the box. Its very easy to use, comes with multiple chargers and USB. The only drawback is not having a software to interface with a PC.
Ive had this phone for a mouth and i likeit so far, it works pretty well. The internet its fast but its not full html so some sites dont work well. It would be good if somebody would get a software to be able to make the phone be full html, the only problem about the phone is that its not windows based, but its an android phone and everything else work great such as pictures, apps, and the keyboard in the touchscreen are great and precise when you have a big fingers like i do. From 1 to 10 i would give it a 9
i luv this fone but i dont know how 2 do the speed dial…can sum1 tell me plez?
@john, stop spreading rumors. this is not an android phone.
@ell- I don’t think there is a speed dial function. if there is I’d like to know as well. I can’t find anything in the manual about speed dialing, kinda lame. hrmph!
thz @ deaner..there is a function 4 speed dial when u touch the contacts then in the left corner options if u scroll down it says speed dial…????…mmm…im w u cas i dont c it in the manual either…thz 4 leavin a comment!…if u or i figure it out u or i post it here..thz again! 🙂
… im slow. anyways, yeah just press and hold the number that was assigned when in the normal keypad screen.
i have had this pjone fro about a week now and IIIIII LOOOOVEEEEE IT
omg im slow n ur awesum deaner thz!!!!!…is any1 else experiencin a delay on my images when u try n look @ ur picts?..again it cud just b me…lol..thz again soooooooo much! 🙂
I JU$T GOT MINE$ YE$TERD@Y!! @ND IT$ GOOD!! IM FEELING IT!! I THOUGHT IT WUZNT GOING TO BE WORTH IT!! BUT IT I$!! TRU$T ME!!
Do metro work in Illinois
i going to buy one of the huawei m750. im very scepticle about buying it. especially since they dont have a phone i could actually try out on display. and i would love to watch youtube on the phone if possible. Should i Buy one. please let me know asap someone.
I would not recommend this phone. It sucks. It does not have any of the simple things that the other phones have. such as tip calculator, speaker phone(i read the manual and it does not have it). The navigator is not on it. How do you get it? to save a picture you have to go through a process to save it because there isn’t a buttonthat says save picture. the web browsing is the same as and other non full html phone. It sucks for its capabilities. it does no get good signal, as most metro phones but this one seems the worst. the entire voice cuts out. the camera is only 1.3 mp so you would expect to be weak.it does not come with a sd card only a usb when the phone only has 32mb of built in memory. which means it will run very slow after you put in some photos. so remember to erase your messages and not store too much on it. I am returning mine later on this week. I am very dissappointed. But hey-THERE IS A NEW SAMSUNG FTOUCH SCREEN COMING OUT SOON TO REPLACE THE FINESSE!!!! i saw it on one of the metro staff who is testing it. so far so good. It looks alot better too!
yes i agree.
Artronious, don’t get this phone. no video capabilities whatsoever. For me the biggest disappointment.
The big screen is worthless and makes everything pointless. No video for a big screened touch phone, why? so i can see my cruddy pictures bigger? meh. I wish i bought an entry level phone, or bought the finesse. There is no point to this phone other than desperately having a touch screen phone. I naively thought this would have video capabilities, at least for me to load my own videos. but no. my LG CU500 phone from 4 years a go, was a much closer to a smart phone than this one. I got jipped for $200.
I just got the phone and love it. Not bad for $200.
On a separate note, congratulations to those of you on this thread who actually know how to spell and use correct grammar.
UC BErekeley Student there is a speaker phone. When you call someone you will see an icon on the screan that looks like a speaker, just touch it. Very simple and easy to use. There is a regular calculator on the phone. Not sure if I would count not having a tip calculator as a reason not to by a phone.
Does anyony know how to connect the phone to the comp[uter.. I keep getting an error message.. Thanks
hey everyone i just got the phone its pretty cool! touch screen is east to get used to and it does not come with a disk to link to pcs. no software needed. just access settings, go to connectivity and go to usb. it will prompt you to activate and voala!! u can just dump pics and mp3 songs into the phone like you would a flash drive!! and if u buy the phone you get a 2gb SDmicro card for free!! i did. overall its a good phone in my opinion! =]
Thanks for your help Shay. There is no cd for the usb connection but once you connect the cord to your pc, you need to go to setting on your phone and on your D pad, scroll over 3 times and you should be under connectivity setting, click on “USB Mode” and then activate and it will allow you to store information on your micro card. I had this phone for a week and i love the phone and the pricing of $25 per month and not having the feeling of a big company that took advantage of me every month.
Downside to this phone is that the web browsing is limited, no video recording either…however ALOT OF THINGS STATED ON HERE ABOUT THE PHONE ARE UNTRUE. @ell and @deaner Yes it does have speed dial, u access it thru the menu, contacts, #6 says “Speed Dial” and u set the numbers there, yes u can view ur photos full screen, rite under the photo is a small icon for the expansion option, hit that and its full screen, drag ur finger across the screen to browse @UC BErekeley Student it does have speaker phone, it is accessible when u are on a call, u have a speaker icon the phone, as far as tip calculator, multiply ur bill by .15, thats the tip.for navigator go to the “@” icon and in the mobile shop ull find the free navigation app, and the photos automatically save, there is no saving process u have to go thru, OVERALL AWESOME PHONE FOR THE PRICE AND FOR SOME ONE WHO IS WILLING TO GET TO KNOW THEIR PHONE.
do u kno how 2 do 3 way callin?..thz!
in order to connect your phone to the computer you need to have a micro sd card in your phone.
I have a sd card and it says that it has synchronized with my computer but when I try to play the media player there are no songs there. can someone help me?
changed phone. motorolla hint is much better. if you are seeking a touch screen i suggest getting an ipod touch. you can surf the web in full html unlike that phone. and both have a lot more memory. make sure you get insurance on that phone because there alot of complaints coming up on the software.
how can i download songs onto it? and is there T9text or predict-a-text?
To use the speed dial set the numbers by going under Contacts->Speed Dial. Then when you go the the key pad where you dial numbers just hold down the number of signed number/person for a couple of seconds and it should start dialing then. Just started messing around with it and figured it out because I need speed dial!
Overall I think the phone is great considering the price of the phone itself and your bill on it will probably never go over $70! I just hate the horrible quality of the camera ;P
How do i make a 3 way call?
is there somewhere someone can go to downlaod games or something? i got the phone not to long ago i like it overall just do not like the fact theres no games,im haveing trouble with the aim and email any suggestions??
sooo…my mom got me this phone for christmas..how do i know..well i managed to get a preview of my present this year..lol..but what i am intrested in knowing is how bad is the camera actually…?? whatsup with youtube on this phone ?? ..and tell me about the small keyboard…?? ,,,, negatives and the positive someone..please??
The camera quality is very horrible esp. comparing to my last phone. Like a 4 on a scale of 1-10, 1 being the worst. No youtube. The web browsing isn’t like iphones. The qwerty keyboard is better for girls because the buttons are pretty small. I love it overall and so does a lot of people who play with it. You can’t have text messaging on vibrate and calls on a ring tone which is a bummer. Oh and a plus I get way better service with this phone then with my last phone which is surprising!
lol you don’t sync the computer to the chip you sync the chip to the phone. then you treat the phone like a flash drive and just dump your music into it. and yes i agree the cam is horrible and that the video capabilities suck but i have my ringtone set for vibrate and ring it rings for my ringer and vibrates for my nessages
OK let me give everyone the low down. since people seem to keep leaving the same message over and over again.
-There is no CD to sync with you computer, yes it works like a flash drive, where you either have to wait for it to sync as a memory card being read on you PC or manually do it.
-There is speed dialing, you have to normally add it in through your contacts and activate it like any other phone by press and holding the number of choice on the dial screen (this was settled along time ago Donnalisa, reading is your friend)
-No VIDEO AT ALL on this phone. so forget about adding any AVIs, MOVs, MP4s or anything like that to watch on your phone.
-You can add all the MP3 music you want however, I’ve only added a 2GB micro card, I am unsure how much you can actually load, maybe 8GB? One thing I noticed, I used up 70% of my memory card’s capacity and noticed that the phone will run slower at times, like when recieving calls or doing normal duties like viewing messages or viewing pictures.
-Internet is slow, but should be expected. There is no real internet on this phone, as it has been stated many times before, JUST MOBILE BROWSING. unfortunately that means no images will be viewed on the phone. You can do google searches, but it wont be the most efficient as it could be. This is a touch screen phone where you should be able to utilize a bigger screen that a phone would normally have with actual buttons, but I guess Huawei was just focusing on a market where people were desperate to have mobile phone that is touch screen for no reason.
-Email works great. My only and biggest gripe I have with it is that you can’t view any attachments whatsoever. I wish I could view compatible pictures that my friends send me in an email, but no. This also means No PDFs or any other type of attachment files whatsoever.
-IMs no comment as I use gchat- so to anyone who uses gchat or skype IM is not for you.
-Camera is crappy. Its about as good as any other standard camera phone. dont ever expect it to compare to a normal point and shoot digital camera.
-No games to add on the phone at least through the memory card. I don’t want to pay for the crappy Metro Games. I’m sure they suck, but if anyone has tried them, review it here.
-Navigation works fine. when the network gets spotty, it looses your location. It is run on Mapquest technology. my opinion it blows. interface isnt the most usefull, when you need to do something usefull it makes you reload every time. I wish there was an option to just view the directions by text, turn for turn. But something like that would be too complicated for Mapquest and MetroPCS.
-When listening to music, you can use the button on the headset to skip to the next song.
-Touchscreen keypad/keyboard. It kinda sucks. well, its ok if you want to use the stylus and hunt and pick for your buttons, but i personally dont like that. I have mine calibrated so that it can estimate what button to press for texts when my big fingers press the phone. it is not at all close to what it would be if i used something precise like the stylus.
-For those who purchased/will purchase this phone, I suggest to keep the protection plastic on the phone and just get a razor or sharp scissors to cut off the little tab so you can use that as your screen protector. This should save you some $ and protect your phone. I managed to smooth out all the bubbles.
I cant think of anything else to say about this phone. It works for what it does, but I think i could have spent my money else where on a phone with the same features minus the touch screen aspect. I really cant think of any reason to buy this phone unless you want the status of having a big, clunky mp3/touch screen phone.
