We were really hoping MWC would be Android's coming out party, but while there's a hefty amount of name-dropping at the show, nobody much seems ready to put hardware on the line. And then there's Huawei.
We were expecting a handset from them at the show, and they're halfway there, announcing an Android phone, but only bringing a non-working prototype to show for it. The touchphone hardware is decidedly iPhone-esque, and almost seems too button scarce to work with the traditional Android interface, but that's where the rest of the story comes in: Huawei is working with an "established design consultancy" to develop its own custom interface for the device. The as-yet unnamed phone will be coming to market in Q3 of this year, and Huawei is currently in talks with a carrier who will rebrand the device -- the lack of finality there left much of the rest of the info on this phone shrouded. We're looking forward to learning more about this device in the coming months, but for now you can check out the tease of a gallery below, and the even less informative press release at the read link below.

just tap an iPhone then....
same feeling except this is open source (if you know what i mean)
I don't understand why it's taking so long for another Android phone to hit the streets.
similar to iphone?
Alright, so I think we've established it bears a resemblance to the iPhone.
Moving on... it's also blue. I like blue.
I don't trust Chine products though Huawei is a well recognized international company. but I rather take my chance getting myself any other brands like Nokia, iphone, samsung etc. Too bad that China products are getting so much of the negative thoughts.
Is it long? It looks long (maybe even longer than the Toshiba TG01)
Here we go again with the overhyped android os. Youve been out since october n still really only on 1 phone. Actions speak louder than words. Apple app store with a closed source is killing your open source.Closed source = 20,000 apps. Open source=no more than a handfull.,get with the times already!!!!!
your inept give it 3 years and Android will be outselling the iphone and WinMo. open source is best
