Clove Hands On with the Huawei IDEOS

Clove Technology, a very well respected reseller of smart phones, tablet devices & accessories also run a very useful blog. Full of interesting snippets of news it is well worth checking out. A recent post details the forthcoming Huawei IDEOS Android powered smart phone, which has an amazing feature set and price. The following gives you an idea of what the IDEOS has to offer. For the full article please click here.

 

Last week I attended an event at which Huawei unveiled the IDEOS. 

The IDEOS for those who have yet to hear about it is a Google branded phone running Android 2.2 and comes in at sub £150 (Our exact cost still to be confirmed).

At the event I had a good twenty minute hands on with the device and thought I would jot down a few of my thoughts.  No particular structure here but hopefully you get the idea.

  • Feels solid for something that is less than £150. Of course there is a bit of a plastic feel but the quality is beyond what most would imagine here.  £300 Acer smartphones feel worse than this.
  • Comes in a variety of colours – the black is the most appealing.

All this will be available with the handset running Android 2.2 (Froyo) and a newly updated version of HTC Sense.
