Well well well, this is a litle surprise tonight but it now looks like UK network Three are going to stock the new Huawei P2 we saw announced back at Mobile World Congress this year
There was no news on this over on the coming soon section of the website and there is also no information when or at what price you can pick up a P2 for, however it is now confirmed to be arriving.
Brendan Arndt who is one of the top guys at Three has put together one of their rather cool sneak peak videos for you to check out and see exactly what the P2 has to offer
Specs of the P2 include a large 4.7 inch display with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels, 13 megapixel camera with HDR. Also included is a 1.5Ghz quad core processor to keep things moving.
The P2 is also Ultrafast ready which means DC-HSDPA right now and LTE coming later this year, however Huawei announced at their event in Barcelona that the P2 is also CAT4 LTE allowing download speeds of up to 150Mbps so it is even more future proof.
Today Three announces that the Huawei Ascend P2 will be available soon on its Ultrafast network.
Currently supported by DC-HSDPA technology, Three’s Ultrafast network already covers 80 per cent of the UK population, with 4G LTE being added later this year.
The Huawei Ascend P2 on Three is future proofed, meaning people will be able to enjoy the ultimate internet experience now and when 4G LTE arrives, without having to pay a premium, swap SIM cards or change price plans.
With a 1.5GHz quad core processor, people will be able to multi-task effortlessly on the Ascend P2 whether browsing the web, listening to music or sharing photos. Only 8.4mm thick with a 4.7 inch infinity edge HD touch display, the Ascend P2 is great for viewing pictures and videos in stunning HD quality and its ‘magic touch’ feature provides enhanced screen responsiveness even with gloves.
Boasting a long life 2,420 mAh battery there’s less of a worry for those who need to keep in touch with friends and family while out on the go and socialising.
The P2 also comes with a 13 megapixel camera with a dedicated camera key which gives instant access to picture taking with one-click so there’s no need to miss a thing.
Sylvia Chind, Head of Devices at Three said, “We’re delighted to announce that the Huawei Ascend P2 is coming soon to our network. It has exceptional design, power and functionality and as its Ultrafast ready, it has the technology to work on our Ultrafast network right now and in the future”.

Cripes, being a Huawei, lets hope it is cheap as chips 🙂
Looking at the three site the following phones are the following prices:
SGS 4 – £37pm + £49 Up Front
HTC One – £36pm +£29 UF
Xperia Z – £35pm +£29 UF
Iphone 5 – £36PM +£49 UF – Really, still an upfront cost after all this time? 🙁
I’m guessing it’ll be free on a £35 pm AYCE, even though I bet the handset is that much cheaper than the others they could do it for £30pm.
