Bought it for 100€ from Sweden and Its a great phone! first felt little slow but i rooted it and deleted some nonsense language packs and apps what i dont need, or what i had replaced(maps, camera, calender, gmail, search) major speedboost rightaway!!! then installed new home (ADW) and works like charm!!! no lagging what so ever!! it has everything even the radio, screen is amazing in daylight even with lowest brightness!! and amazingly it has been stable as hell (no freezing, no system crashes) only bugg is that its to weak for plaing HD and 3D games, but hey... why they invented PSP??? so not a big bugg:D but at the moment im testing overclocking (running on 750 mhz at the moment and rising it after every charging to test the stability) so we see if i reach the level to help out bad graphic support with pure processor speed:) So if u looking for new android and its available in your country, then its worth to buy it, because it looks nice and clean, its not very common model and lets be honest phone looks good max 3-5 month and then u start already thinking about changing it:) lets hope huawei surprises again:)

@Mira: You can always install an app2sd from Market and move the applications to the SD. But only this, which the phone lets you. I'm also interested if the phone receives an update to 2.2, but no news about it.

Pls. correct the specs! This phone does have FM-radio. I saw it today and there is FM-radio on board for sure. Very well built, nice trackpad, but more sensitive than usual, nice hardware buttons. I'm sick of touch-buttons. Big surprise - 5 home-screens in raw x 3 home-screens in vertical position. 15 home-screens!!! selectable by the trackpad. The same as U8110 and U8150. Nice job. I do not know how is the sound, but GSMARENA should finally make some reviews of U8110, U8150 and U8500. The office is located in Sofia/Bulgaria and this phones are already on our market. And they are interesting, especially price/possibilities ratio.

Excellent Android 2.1 smartphone, purchased for 100 euros. Has everything, except radio(but who cares about it today?). Just compare it to HTC Desire, almost identical features, and that one costs 300 euros more! Design is very good, Android interface quite ok. A lot of widgets, still have to install some third party apps to have complete picture.

On negative side, you see some flaws in the design: usb and phone jack are on the top, normally they should be on the bottom end of the case. Answering buttons should be in colour or at least with better pictograms. It is strangely lightweight, I would love it a little bit more heavy, perhaps the frame should be in metal?

Grab it, if you get it for this price.

I don think call drop is because of device issue , it could be because of network issue

Well, I sell mobiles, and from the feedback I get from our clients, Huawei is making great phones, specially if you look at its prices... The U8230 for example has had great feedback, and it's an Android phone, with good touchscreen that costs less than €200...
