For folks in the U.S. who were fascinated by the Huawei Ascend P1 Android smartphone that was launched last year, now is your first opportunity to get one. Huawei just issued a press release stating their new flagship device is available on Amazon unlocked for just $449.99. Interestingly, even though the press release states a price of $450, when you go to the only Amazon page listing a Huawei P1 product, it shows up at just $399.99 instead. It's possible this is the wrong link, but the specs seem to line up, and we couldn't find another one, so that left an interesting little mystery. Here's the press release and link below,
