Huawei U8800 IDEOS X5 Android Smartphone

Product Review (submitted on June 23, 2011):

Ive had one for about 2 months and its still performing great. it has a nice metal finish on the edges of the screen and im impressed with the resolution and quality of the display. the battery on average lasts me about 3-5 days depending on usage, the surround sound speaker is excellent; loud and clear, the camera is very very poor, not what a 5mp snapper should be. with decent lighting the camera is decent but with low lighting its even worse than a 3mp camera and the HD video recording capability is a lie. The performance is excellent, even with multiple backgrounds running its pretty smooth, i can easily turn on/off wifi, bluetooth, gps etc on the home screen. it has 4 touch sensitive buttons down the bottom of the screen: back, options, home and search but i mainly use the first 3. im dissapointed that there is no big button on the bottom of the screen to turn the phone on like a Galaxy S and instead theres a tiny button on the top of the screen. the volume rockers on the left hand side are not sturdy and are unstable, what you usually expect from Chinese products. Overall....i'm actually pretty happy with it, does everything with substandard quality! :D
