not unlocled

Not too long ago I had my first Android smart-phone, which was actually the same Huawei Ideos X5, from the beginning it was quite nifty and worked well, but it only was until the first month or so.

Price; OS; Battery

After the first day I am happy with the phone. The price corresponds to more than what just a few years ago way to pay for a basic Nokia (1300).

We review Huawei's latest smartphone, the IDEOS X5, but can it live up to the plethora of Android devices on the market?

Beautiful appearance; top notch Android OS; excellent camera and exciting menu appearance

Lack of power; unavoidable touch sensitive buttons; laggy scrolling and temperamental battery life

In terms of the look and feel of the phone, the X5 plays out like a ?lite? version of the HTC Desire range. It uses old Android software, there?s less processing power under the hood, it?s got a similar wide, large display, and for all that it?s half the price.

Large display; simplistic, attractive design; good battery life for Android phone; cheap

Bulky size; lacking Wi-Fi tethering

The Huawei Ideos X5 is a 120x62x11mm smartphone that sports a 3.8 touchscreen with an 800x480 pixel resolution. The screen isn't too bright or sharp, but at least it's wide. On the backend, it hides an 800MHz Qualcomm CPU, 2GB of internal memory and 512MB of RAM.

Muy bueno. Lo compre ayer y estoy sorprendido con las prestaciones. Lo recomiendo por su relacion precio - valor. great no problems with the battery lasted a day and now with android 2.3 upgrade you get twice as long, reception was mostly good a few times it dropped out but that is to be expected.

The Huawei Ideos X5 is an Android smartphone that has a lot to offer for a small price tag. EYE-CATCHING: The first thing you notice is the large 3.8in screen, which dominates the front of Huawei Ideos X5.

Affordable; 4GB memory; decent 5-megapixels camera

No dedicated camera button; microSD slot hidden under back casing

I'm not a very big fan of Huawei . In fact, I haven't really encountered much products from their company (just a modem that we have at home). Anyhow, I let this not be the deciding factor as Huawei has finally decided the pool of companies manufacturing android phones!

Huawei seems to be focusing more on building a loyal following than making money as this phone is clearly being sold below its fair price. It completely out-looks and out-performs all other phones in it price-range, and even many other high-end ones twice as expensive.

Comes with a 5 mega pixel camera which also doubles as a camcoder recording at 720p; Excellent photo and video quality; Multiple effects and great GUI; Very good energy-saving features help extned battery life; Sleek fashinable look; Excellent data connec

Only con I can think of is lack of a manual camera shutter button to take photos
