Wish I'd known about the very generous Quidco offer before ordering 3 of these at £101.34 but I'm very happy that I managed to secure just one at this price.  It's a real gem and far more usable than my old Nokia N95, which I paid £300 for!

Huawei need to be commended, I hope this Pulse is a sign of things to come.  Value and performance!  Can't complain too much, can ya?

Its a good price but such an ugly android phone , looks like th old ppc from 5 years ago , find my white magic better and as its a 32a version it runs the same rom as the hero ( vodafone asia unbranded rom )  and is faster than the hero ( wife has the hero )

[-IP-]

I bought T-Mobile Pulse (at a really fair price ), and I don't see why it would be ugly. It's quite a nice phone, both in design and "feel". I can't remember seeing anything nearly similar 5 years ago...

Not on the website, no, but if you call T-Mobile they'll still sell you one over the phone though. My local shop also still has some left. BUT....and it's a big 'but', the price went up the DAY I BOUGHT it to £179.99.

If you haggle with T-Mobile on the phone you can usually get 10% off (I was offered this by the chap).

Hope this helps

PS. Hello everyone, first post

Edit: Further price drop until 18:00 tonight in the T-Mobile PAYG sale!

You could be forgiven for not knowing much about the Pulse, particularly if you are still a hardcore WM fan that hasn't taken a lot of notice of what's going on in the Android world. But it's time to sit up and take notice.

T-Mobile have dropped the price of the Pulse to £137.01 on Pre-Pay!

I published an extensive review of the Pulse, a rebranded Huawei U8220, in this post on Engadget, but a quick overview of the specs for you...

• Android 1.5 'cupcake'
  
• 528MHz Qualcomm Processor
  
• Quad Band EDGE, Dual Band HSDPA
  
• 3.5" HVGA Capacitive Screen
  
• 3.1 Megapixel Camera
  
• WiFi
  
• GPS
  
• Bluetooth
  
• Tilt Sensor
  
• Digital Compass
  
• microSD Expansion
  
• microUSB
  
• 1500mAh Battery
  
• 62.5 x 116 x 13.6 millimetres
  
• 135g

If you think that sounds like a pretty decent spec then you're absolutely right - it's a very nice device and at a paltry £137.01 (plus a tenner topup voucher and 20 quid for unlock if required) it's simply stunning. What's more, the Pulse is easily rooted, easily customised, has custom ROM options available in our Pulse forum and is a tweaker's dream. All of the things we love about Windows Mobile...?

Should WinMo be afraid from such bargain offerings? Discuss! You can read more details on the Pulse at the Product Page.

PS I've just realised that if you click through using Quidco to buy, you can get £15 cashback too!
