Yesterday, during the CommunicAsia 2009, Huawei formally showed its first mobile phone with Android, the Huawei U8230, and a new Windows Mobile-based device, the Huawei C8000, both would be available commercially in the second half of the year.

Let's start by U8230 is not clear if the same prototype that we saw back in February . The Android-powered U8230 smartphone allows users to switch between full and half QWERTY keyboards and to navigate programs easily via a 3.5-inch LCD touch screen. Huawei’s U8230 uses the Google Chrome Internet browser which supports a variety of Google applications such as Google Map, Google Search and Google Talk. It is also fitted with a battery which has a capacity of 1500 mAH - the longest battery capacity among Android-powered handsets currently available

Specs are largely an unknown quantity, although we are told it has a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen and can switch between full and half QWERTY keys via the onscreen keypad. The Huawei U8230 comes with a 1500mAH battery, said by Huawei to have the largest battery capacity “among Android-powered handsets currently available.”
