T-Mobile Pulse
T-Mobile Pulse Overview
The T-Mobile Pulse is the Huawei U8220 branded for use on T-Mobile and will likely land in both the United States and Europe. Having passed the FCC and already seen for Pre-Order on an online European retailer, there is a good chance the Pulse will launch before the end of 2009.

Rumored specs include a 3.5-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3MP camera, 256MB of built-in memory and MicroSD support up to 16GB. Its unclear what relation the Pulse - with Huawei Model U8220 - has with the previously mentioned Huawei U8230.

T-Mobile Pulse Reviews
Engadget Enjoys The Pulse
Solid hardware, responsive touchscreen, terrible camera, 2.5mm headset jack disappoints, limited amount of memory for storing applications (60MB) but overall, very impressive for a free phone.
