Cricket to release MSGM8 on November 27

If there’s a new phone on the prepaid market, we’re all over it. We’re usually ready with the best available picture, plus a description of the features, the release date, and the price. It comes with great disappointment, then, that there is not yet a picture available for the Cricket MSGM8, which will hit Cricket shelves on November 27. Pronounced “message mate,” the MSGM8 is probably the bar-style equivalent of the Cricket TXTM8, a stubby slider phone which features a full QWERTY keyboard.

True to the TXTM8, the MSGM8 features a 1.3 megapixel camera and Bluetooth. Those both seem standard fare on today’s prepaid handsets. It also features navigation features, including a side toggle wheel, which make it easier to explore what the phone offers.

This is not going to be a Web deal, at least at first. It will be available for $100 at Cricket stores from November 27 through November 30. There is no word on what the device will cost after that, but it will presumably be available at Cricket’s website. We’ll give you details on that as they come in.
