Huawei Technologies showcased its first Android-powered smart phone at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, according to its press release. This phone will be commercially available in the third quarter of 2009.

But the Android Community wrote:

In fact, what Huawei failed generally to warn us was that the Android device they brought was just a dummy, locked up in a glass box and with no hardware details or even a screen mockup to entertain us.  That latter part is particularly key, given that according to the company’s press release, they’re working with an “established design consultancy” to develop their own custom interface, and hopefully get around the fact that there’s a dearth of buttons on the current concept.

It’s tough to get excited about a device that, even in dummy form, you’re not allowed to hold.  Huawei insist they’re on course to launch the unnamed device in Q3 2009, and there’s talk of being in negotiations with carriers.
