Many thanks for the tips and the information about Huawei’s open source heritage. I’ll have to take a closer look at the rooting process. What are your thoughts on ZTE? Is it like Huawei or a different animal entirely? I know Cricket and many of the Sprint MVNO’s have been selling ZTE phones because the screens are large and they’re pretty popular among users because of their durability. I have zero personal experience with ZTE myself, and am just passing on what I’ve heard from people I see using them, on 2 random occasions.
