    Wah, mura nga… pero ba’t ganun, according to Cnet UK site, wala daw flash support, kahit naka-Froyo na, kasi hindi daw kaya nung processor. :(

    Here’s their review:

    I am very eager to buy a unit of this. Hopefully, Huawei changes its mind and release it before Christmas day! So that when new year comes, new phone as well! :)

    Price is not competitive despite what the Chinese execs at Huawei are thinking. P8,888 = lucky number, ergo good price. Dream on! This unit is way overpriced.

    just wait for the release dates, what’s the reason of other stores overpricing this when one of the other reason to buy this is the price?

    I think it’s too pricey, considering that the Samsung Galaxy 5 is being priced at around 10k. Galaxy 5 has a better screen (16M versus 256k for the Ideos) and as I’ve heard there’s hardware support for multi-touch (although not yet implemented, I wonder why). And it’s also made by Samsung, which is a better known brand.

    Bat sa 2011 pa ang release?

    Sayang naman Huawei.

    Saw a vid on youtube na mabagal ang angrybirds in this phone….

    Siguro nga dahil yun sa reso issue.

    I’ll Choose Optimus one pa rin over this phone(Kahit na umaasa lang ako nung sale nila….).
    Medyo pricey pa rin kasi sya at P8,888 Lalo na kung narelease na ngayon at natapat sa darating na sale ng LG this December.(30% off daw?)

    Pero kung walang sale na mangyayari sa LG eh baka hintayin ko na lang rin to.

    Thanks sir Abe ang bilis meron kagad reply sa tanong ko.

    ^_^.
