#huawei ideos x5

Two Android phones and a tablet -- that's what's else we saw at the Huawei booth earlier this week during CommunicAsia. Two of the top 3 Android smartphones, the Ideos X5 and X3, as well as the Ideos S7 Slim (predecessor of the MediaPad). The Ideos X3 is the nicest-looking of them all, and reminds me of the HTC Wildfire, with its very thin frame of just 9.9mm. 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. 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. I've never owned a single Android phone so I can't compare the speed of Ideos to other low end Android phones. Huawei made big news last year when it announced the first Android 3.2 tablet running on a dual-core processor.
