DALLAS, Oct. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Everyone is suffering from "smartphone fever" these days! That's because everyone wants to get their hands on a cutting-edge smartphone powered by Android with a wide range of apps, a flash camera, a 3.8" touchscreen, and the ability to record HD video. But wouldn't it be better if you could get all of that for less?

Wish no more! The feature-rich Android smartphone Impulse 4G™ from AT&T* will be available beginning Sept. 18 in select national retailers and online at att.com for $29.99 with a two-year contract. To highlight the exceptional value and rich features of this device, AT&T has partnered with Latin music legend and award-winning singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan to showcase the device's versatility and incredible value.

In this national ad campaign, a group of friends is seen dancing to the contagious rhythms of Estefan's hot new single "WEPA" and pushing and moving buildings and cars, similar to the device's "human-powered" speeds and wide array of apps. Estefan's new single is played throughout the TV spot as a celebration of this hot new device and great offer.

"We're excited to have partnered with such an iconic figure to showcase the value and versatility of this new Android device. We know our customers appreciate having mobile Internet and a wide array of apps, but we also want to help them get the most out of their money, especially during these tough economic times," said Roberto Garcia, executive director, Hispanic Marketing, AT&T. "Gloria Estefan and her fresh Latin pop sounds are representative of what this device is all about – a fun, 'rhythmic' device that lets you record HD video, take pictures, access multiple apps  – all for a great price."

There is no longer any room for excuses when it comes to owning a smartphone with this unbeatable new offer. Surfing the web, watching videos, checking emails and updating your Facebook status on the go doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. The Impulse makes it possible to do this and more at an affordable price. This Android smartphone is the first smartphone from Huawei that doesn't skimp on features despite its unbeatable value.

Running on the Android 2.2 platform and sporting HD video recording, a full touch screen and 5-megapixel camera, the Impulse 4G meets mobile needs and can be paired with a Data Plus plan, with 200 MB of data for just $15 dollars.

Gloria Estefan and the Impulse 4G device will start appearing in AT&T TV spots starting Sept. 28 on major Spanish-language TV networks. Watch Gloria Estefan in the new Impulse 4G TV spot.
