HSPA+ 14.4 Mbps??

Nobody is ready to keep Huawei handsets in Meerut or Delhi; asked at 2-3 big retailers; all of them say, who keeps huawei; but specs looks good; they will need to revamp their image in India...

Thats the main problem....

This Brand gives more of a Chinese feeling

[rajanmehta 4,056]

That's the typical response we have for everything chinese!! Isn't it.

But Huawei is not the same as manufacturers of hundreds of cheap chinese mobiles we see in India.

It's a Worldwide Telecom Equipment Giant. Supplies to majority of Indian Telcos for their Network Gear.

And 3G Equipments. Again Huawei is major supplier to all Indian Telcos.

Who makes majority of the USB Data Cards which you buy from Reliance, Idea, Airtel, Vodafone for 3G GSM and CDMA-EVDO?

Till now it was not active in Consumer Mobile Market, so awareness is low.

Huawei Ideos, is the first economical Android having Google Branding launched by it 2 months back worldwide and is a good success. Now it is following it with High End Androids. Most will be pure Google.

What hardware goes inside an Android?. Processor and Chipset by Samsung or Qualcomm, Screen may be Samsung, Wi-Fi Chipsets by Broadcomm, Flash Memory by Samsung... the list goes on.

The quality difference if any will remain in the design of the phone, plastic and the Software part.

But again here Huawei will be most probably pure google (Ideos is), So it will get Android updates quickly.

Since Ideos is launched very recently in India, Retail Channels will take time to Stock. But in India, Retailers will stock what sells and if Huawei Pricing is right, it will be there.

Not advocating Huawei over any other brand, but aren't We Indian Consumers supposed to be very Smart when parting with Money and seek value in everything.

Today I checked my sister's NOKIA X6 (S60 v5 with Capacitive touch) which I bought her almost 1 year ago for Rs15.5k... My goodness... Comparing Android with S60 v5 is like comparing Rajdhani Express with Passenger express, to be frank..

I suggested her this mobile to get next, when it becomes available in 2011...
