I was just browsing around and saw this http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/prod...7&treeId=37

It says,

Out-Standing Browsing Performance

Chrome Lite

• Support HTML web page

• Up to 8 web pages at the same time

Support Flash

• HSUPA / Wi-Fi

• Long stand-by and browsing time

What does that mean?

Wow, great find spooke! Flash support sounds like that might have the 2.1rom installed in it - I remember something from BigBearMDC about 2.1 having flash in it...

Might be a mistake? Maybe they're calling the Android browser 'Chrome Lite' because it sounds better?

Perhaps, but then explain the Flash support?

I hope all of these features wont be at the expense of poor battery life. I would sacrifice these features for a reliable battery! That's just me though :)

Dont think that it will be implemated, its a lower class android, if its got Multitouch support, who would by another smartphone comparet to the price???

Nother issue is the Driver/Touchcontroller, which supports Multitouch, but got some great Bugs...

For those who are very interested in Multitouch:BigBearMDC and xangma are working on this very hard, an experimentally, its working, but there is a problem with the Touchcontroller by synaptics, its the some one which Nexus ONE uses.

If Huawei had another (better) android phone on the market then you could understand that they would withhold multitouch.

But the pulse is Huaweis "Flagship" in Europe. Hell I didn't even know that they existed before now.

Huawei could make a great name for themselves if their £150 phone out did all other £350+ phones on the market (Excluding the newer ones ofc)

Multitouch is over-hyped IMO. I dont think Pulse having multitouch will have a great significance on sales!

Its not there decision, they are builing the phone just for T-Mobile, so tmobile got to sign every single feature, and for multitouch tmobile got the iPhone, not the Pulse.

I think in a few years Huawei will biuld there own Smartphone, without a providers choice, and than the prices will also increase.

Chrome Lite is what others have called it. It runs WebKit, which is what Chrome runs, so they aren't far wrong.

About Flash, I'm assuming that this is android 2.1, which supports it.

U8220 is not just for T-Mobile, also T-Mobile don't have the iPhone, they push other Android devices.

also T-Mobile don't have the iPhone

Here in Germany T-Mobile is the ONLY seller/provider of the iPhone....

Not in UK though...Only Tmobile and 3 don't directly sell iPhone in uk....

That page also says

UI:Android Platform Default UI System

So none of the T-Mobile crap, it's a pure Huawei U8220 release, not a re-branded one.

Also if it was pushing the T-Mobile re-brand, it would be listed as a 'Pulse', the fact it's on their own site says it will be network provider free.
