Huawei IDEOS X5 announced for Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and (eventually) the US

Huwei introduced a new Android phone as CES, as well: the Ideos X5. We’ve heard of this device before, and while not exactly groundbreaking, it’ll mark Huwei’s first Android phone available in the US (carrier to be announced around the middle of this year), and it’s a very respectable offering just the same. Running Android 2.2, it’s got a few nice bullet points:

• a 3.8 inch multiple touch screen with easy-to-use SWYPE input and voice recognition for additional convenience
• an ultra-slim width of 11.4mm, curved edges and brush metal coating to serve as an ideal everyday accessory
• a 5 mega pixel camera with 720p high definition video recording and playback
• a FM radio, SRS professional audio effect and Flash 10.1 to enhance the gaming experience
• 802.11n Wifi Connectivity, HSPA capability.

Those last 2 are the most appealing to me, personally. FM radio and 802.11n aren’t exactly standard features, though they are becoming moreso. No word on CPU, storage space, or pricing available at this time, but they’re throwing their hat in the ring, and I suspect that it’ll be a nice middle-road phone at a very reasonable price.
