Out of stock here (yup sorry threads a few weeks old)

Sorry for the bump but I am too trying to get this phone, it seems to be a solid little device with little to compete with it for the price. I know the X6 is coming but it's simply going to be more expensive and I really don't want to go above what this phone costs.

Does anyone know anywhere who has this in stock that isn't trying to charge an arm and a leg for it

I'm in the same boat in trying to get one.

I have heard a rumour that Huawei have stopped production of the U8800 x5 pending the release of the Titan X6 pro which is due in September.

Super E-Trader did tell me via e-mail that they won't be restocking the Ideos X5 because the Huawei Titan Pro is due out in September, but I can't find ANYTHING out about this phone.

There is a U8800Pro.xml UAProfile which gives some basic info.    A quick comparison against the standard U8800.xml shows the Pro has Android 2.2.2 and Bluetooth 2.1 whereas the previous U8800 had Android 2.2.1 and Bluetooth 2.0.  It just seems to be a minor ROM upgrade as far as I can tell.

If it's just a minor ROM upgrade that will be a shame.

I found this but there is nothing useful. Just user manuals and "Declaration of Conformity", which says that it is called u8800+ too.

The user manuals and quick start guides all seem to show the same physical dimensions... but it will probably be in the £240 mark which is a real shame
