Huawei U8230 Android phone officially launched at CommunicAsia

Remember that mysterious Huawei Android number from MWC? It's all grown up and officially launched as the U8230 now. Specs are still maddeningly ambiguous, however -- the only hard info we've got is a 3.5-inch touchscreen and a 1500mAH battery, which is said to be the largest battery "among Android-powered handsets currently available." Considering the only set that's really out there is the notoriously battery-poor G1, that's not such a radical claim, but we'd sure love to test this one out in person when this launches (perhaps on T-Mobile?) alongside the 2.8-inch Windows Mobile-powered C8000 later this year.

android devices need BIGGER screens. 3.5 is good.. but I doubt this one is coming to the US. I would love to see a snapdragon android phone with a 3.8.

Looks like a Touch HD, but shinier.

What a beautiful phone ! And it doesn't seem to have this all too common glossy fingerprints friendly black back...

There is hope huawei will propose an amoled screen and tegra processor ... please ?
