T-Mobile has released the Tap, a Huawei-made touch phone with a classic form-factor and a large touch-sensitive display. Its features are pretty decent, and include:

• Quad-band GSM/EDGE;
• 1700MHz UMTS/HSDPA 3G network;
• 2Mpix camera with video capture;
• Music player;
• GPS;
• FM radio;
• Stereo Bluetooth;
• microSD slot (up to 8GB)

The Tap is now available for $80 after rebates with new contract.

MetroPCS has recently released the new Huawei M750 with "intuitive touch user interface" as they said. It comes with a stylus, which means the scren is resistive, and features a software QWERTY keyboard, 1.3Mpix camera, Stereo Bluetooth, and microSD slot. All that for $200.

T-Mobile UK is now offering a Huawei manufactured Pulse smartphone at a pay-as-you-go plan. It will cost you GBP 176 ($292), which is not bad for a pre-paid offer, considering that it features a 3.5″ touchscreen, 3G, WiFi, GPS, 3.2Mpix camera, 2GB of memory, and runs the Android OS. All willing can get it right away.

T-Mobile came up with an Android-based handset for its European customers. The T-Mobile Pulse, also known as the Huawei U8220, looks a little pale compared to its U8230 brother, and comes with a pretty generic list of specs:

• OS: Android
  
• Dimensions (LxWxH): 135 x 62.5 x 13.6 mm;
• Weight: 135 g;
• Standby: Up to 300 hours;
• Talk time: Up to 210 minutes;
• GSM frequency band (MHz): Quad-band (850/900/1800/1900);
• UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA / GPRS / EDGE;
• Display: 3.

Huawei has officially launched its new U8230 handset, which was first shown at MWC earlier this year. Full mspecs weren't announced, but we do know it will feature a 3.5" touchscreen display and a 1500mAH battery, which is said to be the largest battery "among Android-powered handsets currently available." Well, that's logical, since the only Android handset that exists for quite a while now is the G1, and it's battery is far from perfect.

According to the latest rumors an Android-powered Huawei handset will be coming to T-Mobile in Q3 2009 and is currently going through the testing phase. Details are very scarse at the moment, so we'll just name some of the phone's rumored features:

• 5Mpix camera;
• 3.5mm headphone jack;
• Cupcake update;
• Wi-Fi

Stay tuned for more details.

Huawei will be joining the Android party quite soon, as it has confirmed plans to show off its first Android-based device at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We'll update you with additional details as soon as we get them. Stay tuned.

Huawei announced today that the company is planning to release a new Android-based smartphone in Q3 2009 in the Asia-pacific region. Other two Android handsets for that region include HTC Dream and Kogan Technologies’ Agora, which will hit Australia on January 29.

Stay tuned.

Huawei has a new entry-level handset called the U121. The phone comes with pretty simple features, but it looks good and qualitative, especially since it's made of stainless steel. It is currently only available in Russia.

Features of the Huawei U121 include:

• 1.3Mpix camera;
• Support for video calls;
• Integrated FM radio;
• microSD memory card slot;
• 3.

FCC has approved the new Huawei-made Vodafone 724FM cell phone.

The device has a plain unattractive design, and features a QVGA screen, tri-band GSM/EDGE radio, Bluetooth, microSD slot, and a 2Mpix camera.

The price is unknown yet, but with such boring looks and specs we doubt its future popularity...
