I got a chance to play around with a yet-to-be released Android phone, the Huawei Ideos, running Android 2.2 Froyo. This phone was first introduced in IFA 2010 by Huawei and is also known as T-mobile Comet in the US.
The screen is pretty small — 2.8-inch capacitive QVGA display touchscreen. The first thing I tried was its keyboard. I wanna know how good or bad the keyboard on this phone. I mean the phone is really tiny and doesn’t have a physical qwerty keyboard.
Since I’m used to a touchscreen keyboard, with that small of a screen, surprisingly I didn’t have any issues typing on it. It’s really small but in a good way.
The screen is pretty responsive. The phone sports a plastic body but the build is pretty solid. You can change the back cover of the phone with a different color.
As you can see on the back of the phone, the Google name is there because Huawei worked very closely with Google on the OS. They used the virgin Froyo version.
I’ve never owned a single Android phone so I can’t compare the speed of Ideos to other low end Android phones. I heard that this is going to be the most in-expensive Android phone in the market. They will sell it around Php10k or less. I might be able to get a review unit in the coming weeks so expect a review soon.

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got
to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for
only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
