Huawei Philippines launched several devices last night at the Establishment, Fort Taguig. One of the devices they officially launched was the Ideos U8150, the most affordable smartphone equipped with the latest Android 2.2 OS (Froyo).
Ideos doubles as a wifi router for up to 8 devices at a time similar to the E5 pocket mifi. It will be available in black, yellow, blue and purple.

This is indeed a good hardware to price ratio.
FYI to those who don’t know, most if not all phones with Froyo 2.2 have the wifi hotspot functionality embedded in the OS. So this is not unique to this phone, it is just a nice cheap alternative to the pocket wifis which are 3k cheaper (than this phone) and it is not even a phone.
Wow, with a wifi router for only P8K? This will surely become a big hit.
wow! dinaku bibili ng E5 Series, ito na lang! maganda pa itsura parang Corby! :)
WOW!!much better than the LG Optimus One..sana this December na lang din ang out ng stocks para in time for xmas :)
Finally :) This is what I was waiting for :)
@Jun House – You can order the E5 at Electroworld and Globotel Greenbelt 1 has stock pa
honga. hope you can test the battery life for us. hehehe. thanks.
