Worth waiting for...

AWESOME, if priced at 14-15k. 14k will be really good deal & yes worth waiting.

yup! its too good but too late. i already have O1.

When is it coming...?

Looks really nice and @ OP - TFS ;-)

D

looks like great deal! Gotta wait for it.

How much do you think it'll cost? When will it arrive?

Not bad. 14 to 15k for a mobile with 800MHz proccy is really good.
Going by Huawei's track record, the phone will probably ship with plain Android without any customization. Moreover support on XDA Forums is also a little less for Huawei models.

Only if Samsung or HTC launches a handset with similar specs.......

^^ HTC Wildfire S is coming soon.

but compared to Wildfire S, the specs are better. ok, its Chinese but the build quality is nothing to complain about. DEV support is the last thing that should matter, if the price is right.

Wildfire S will have the old cpu 7227 that has less powerful adreno 200 gpu. but this Ideos x5 has the cpu and gpu of HTC Desire Z (7230 with adreno 205)
