Well, the network carrier has collaborated with SA Studios Global to introduce the Huawei Ascend Sanctioned by TapouT. This special-edition offering has been carved out with Mixed Martial Arts and lifestyle brand TapouT.
Designed to supplement the user’s style factor, the unit packs in two interchangeable backs. The handset incorporates an extensive range of interesting elements such as TapouT static and live wallpapers, TapouT Virtual Training center videos and an exclusive TapouT application.
“The TapouT brand is admired by MMA fans around the world, and we’re proud to offer consumers a unique and personalized handset that carries the energy and radical design for which TapouT is known,” commented Phil R. Terry, senior vice president of corporate marketing for MetroPCS. “Special edition handsets are one of the ways that we’re giving consumers the devices, services and features that are a perfect fit with their lifestyles and interests.”
“When we started TapouT, the goal was to create a brand that captured the true essence and lifestyle of MMA fans. Today, the mobile phone is the most important piece of technology that we own, and is an extension of the owner’s personality. TapouT fans now have a handset that reflects their lifestyle and the latest technology on the market. The value that MetroPCS offers consumers is unmatched in the industry and was an obvious choice for us,” remarked Caldwell, co-founder of TapouT.
Flaunting a lustrous black finish, the handset runs efficiently on the Android 2.2 operating system. The device comes along with a 3.5-inch touchscreen, 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera and camcorder along with 2GB microSD card. The TapouT logo is precisely etched on the back on both covers, one in tonal black and the other in dark grey with the cage design.
