Despite being involved in a recent [national security controversy](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/08/huawei-and-zte-congress-report-draft/) in the US, [Huawei](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Huawei/) isn't quite ready to slow down its plans to bring as many handsets as possible over to Stateside shores. Today, the Chinese company is making its [Gingerbread-packing](http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/06/android-2-3-gingerbread-in-pictures/) Huawei Ascend Y available to [US Cellular](http://www.engadget.com/tag/US+Cellular/) subscribers, giving folks who want to keep spending to a minimum [yet another](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/24/alcatel-one-touch-shockwave-reaches-us-cellular-for-50/) Android option on the regional carrier. The Ascend Y itself boasts a 3.5-inch, 480 x 320 screen, which is paired alongside a 3.2-megapixel rear camera and, for audioplhiles, DTS Envelo -- a technology "for virtual surround sound to enhance audio experience." The Huawei Ascend Y is up for grabs now at a decent price of $30 (with a two-year contract, of course), though the carrier's site currently has it listed for a mere one cent. No word on how long this promo will last, so those of you interested may want to check out the source link below right about now.
