Huawei have confirmed that they will be supplying T-Mobile with their Android-based smartphone, which will launch in Q3 2009 as the T-Mobile G3.  An Huawei spokesperson has told reporters that “I can confirm that Huawei will be releasing the third Google phone on T-Mobile this year”, with the handset in question presumably the full-touchscreen device the manufacturer showed at Mobile World Congress in February 2009.

The handset is expected to have a 5-megapixel camera, headphone jack and integrated WiFi.  Huawei’s demo unit was a non-functional model, and the company refused to remove it from the glass casing during the show.

According to the reports, T-Mobile are angling the Huawei device as a low-cost handset, although specific pricing has not been confirmed.  It will launch in the UK sometime after July 2009, trailing the HTC Magic which sees its European Vodafone launch in May.

  1. Hmmm...it will be interesting if this is the case, considering EVERYONE is thinking the HTC Magic is the G2 and Tmobile is getting it. I just dont understand how it can be if a software update on the G1 will give us the same abilities on the HTC Magic...just sayin.. But definitely, this is one to keep em crossed for. FULL TOUCH SCREEN!!! wooopeeee!!!
  2. The apple fanboys will have a lot to say about the "G3".

    But yea...only way I would buy it is if it ups the internal mem significantly. Otherwise my G1 is just fine.

    +1 But it would probably look something simular to the G2 with "improvements"
  4. Looks strangely similar to...

    What I'm saying is they could of made the circle at the bottom a triangle or something. Haha, that would of made it totally more different.
  5. Huawei. Hmm. It will likely be cheap. At first.
  6. I think its cool and a sleek design. But the problem about these new things is the availabilty from T mobile. Be happy you just have the G1 and G2 cause when the G3 comes out it be in very limited availability to selected lucky qualified customers and when you go to T Mobile you will.not be able to this new phone. When the Motorola W490 came in 2007 people thought it was better than the brown Samsung. I am telling t mobile will attempt to keep limits to buy the new G3 till it gets old and out of date.
  7. I have no problem admitting that I love the way the iPhone hardware looks. I prefer the Android OS and it seems that this phone may combine the looks I like with the OS I love.
  8. Tmobile did not limit it why would a business do that to itself why would they make customers upset anf limit the amount of new customers coming based on availability that's silly. First of all they literally ran out employees did not have them available until february. Second the white ones which everyone wanted was backlogged until htc could supply them because the screens were not being manufactured in the same country and there was a no fly order in the country so they had to order trucks to pick them up and all supplys to make them and move them. I know an htc rep told me thispersonally. Third of all the supply of the phone was not enough to suit needs because nerds like us needed our precious asap. It was not enogh that tmobile launched early big mistake...because supply was lacking there was an issue with ups actually delivering . I received three empty boxes and each phone was verified to be an imei on some one elses account in georgia arizona and california. They have a thing to look that up crazy right but they do. I live in oregon...at no point was my sim in any of the above states. The phone is amazing but none the less people often complain because they are unsatisfiable if that's a word. They think tmobile reps sabotage them. I have never had a rude person from there on the line ever since 2000. Hopefully the g3 launches as projected but knowing tmobile it'll be more like q4
  9. Android is the future !!!!
