Huawei launches an online store to sell its own unlocked phones


Remember Huawei's Ascend Mate 2? The decidedly mid-range phablet that, among other things, can charge lesser phones for you? When the company revealed the thing at this past CES, about the only thing it didn't proclaim was when you could get one. Not so any more: Huawei says it's going to sell for $299, and you can lay claim to one right now. Normally, that wouldn't be such a huge deal. After all. everyone runs pre-orders promotions, right? What's really new here is that Huawei has launched an online store -- GetHuawei.com -- that promises some shiny new Huawei hardware on a regular basis, plus a slew of free goodies to go with it.


Let's say you pick up an Ascend Mate 2 -- you'll get a SIM card with a month of free service, along with a case, and 20GB of cloud storage courtesy of Bitcasa.
