Huawei’s Android phone broke cover last week and while we weren’t able to get all touchy-feely with it yet, we might be seeing the phone soon. Reportable, the phone set to come from T-Mobile and carry the same nameplate as the brand. Details are still developing but it seems that the touchscreen ‘UPhone’ (their words, not ours) will start shipping sometime in the late summer of 2009.
We’re not entirely sure what market it will hit first though: T-Mobile US or T-Mobile the rest of the world. Hopefully it will drop on both America and Europe giving everyone more Android options even though the HTC Magic appears to be the Android phone to beat. Still, we’ll welcome more Android options.
UPhone? I mean, people have to get a little more creative…I doubt that anything Android will be quite like the iPhone. I’d like to see Android get a foothold in the market, but not by just blantantly copying existing ideas.
