Cricket's TXTM8 is as cute as its name

Looking for something maybe just a little less flashy than Motorola's Hint on Cricket? They've got your back now thanks to the inclusion of the TXTM8 -- pronounced "text mate," we think -- sourced from middleman / distributor / purveyor of fine goods PCD. There's not much to the phone other than its cute little shell and a sliding full QWERTY keyboard, but it does pack a 1.3 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth support, and AWS CDMA (as all Cricket handsets do these days). Interested parties can inquire with the carrier for one of these now, running $139.99 contract-free after discount.

just got this last week. I haven't found a facebook app on it, although the website advertises it. But you can browse the site on the phone, which seems to work good enough. Has a twitter ap for 5 bucks. Email app works well good with gmail. Web browser is ok, as long as the site is a mobile site. Fits nicely in your palm and in your pocket. Good voice commands. Speaker mode really sucks though, was disappointed. But overall, I think this is a nice text phone.
