Like this phone? Well, don't get too used to it, because we're not really seeing it launching properly outside of China. It happens to be the descriptively-named G7000 from Huawei featuring EDGE on both 850 and 1900 -- probably a quadband device, if we had to guess -- and, as you can probably gather from the pictures, it's got a full touchscreen. The design lends us to believe it could be
rocking Android underneath that pretty face, but a quick glance through the manual suggests that it's nothing more than a proprietary OS destined for the same segment of the market clogged by countless modern feature phones. If you change your mind on the platform, though, Huawei, do let us know, okay?
This is all starting to sound semi-official, but still a little vague. Huawei's mysterious Android device -- first
spotted at MWC -- is apparently headed out on T-Mobile in late 2009, as reportedley confirmed by a Huawei spokesperson. The same details we've
previously heard, including the 5 megapixel camera, 3.5mm headphone jack and WiFi -- are still on the list, though nothing new is emerging thus far. It also seems to be called the G3, but again, it's hard to say if that name is official or not. We'll let you know when we hear something more concrete, but until then... just keep marvelling at the buttonless wonder you see above.
Take this with some skepticism, but according to
tmonews.com a "trusted source" has revealed an
Android-based
Huawei phone is currently being tested and heading to T-Mobile in
Q3, a timeframe we heard about at MWC. Specs reportedly include a 5 megapixel camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, WiFi, and
Cupcake, naturally. No word on
UMA, but the site claims that a certain Mr. Blurrycam is dropping off photos and more dtails in next few weeks, so we'll keep our eyes on that.
