  • huawei u8110

  • zokii that is t mobile :D

  • Can anybody tell me what can i do about battery replacing since i;m from Macedonia no one including "official" dealre T-Mobile [my ass] can't find me one?So my question is is there any replacmend like for example battery from other phone or i must find the original 0ne?Tnx anyway

  • Well I just got this WOUNDERFUL phone,wi-fi is great,internet great.The UI is great,camera is great.Almost everything is a pro,but theres just 2 cons,it can get unresponsive and a BIT slow

  • Pros: Paid 20 quid for this a year ago including cashback. Great phone and tethers to my laptop for mobile wi-fi Cons: a week after 12 months warrant expired, its playing up bigtime - phone switches off mid-call, battery can be measured in minutes, and overheats when on charge. Still, a £20 PAYG android for 12 months was well worth it.

  • is there any feature to black list the any unwanted number. if it is then how?

  • Bought it for 20 quid. very good but will not play games very well and screen is not very responsive. u get what u pay 4. also, it got very hot after long 3g use (2hrs+). Bought galaxy y. MUCH better. Spend some more money if you want a good android phone.

  • i got this phone from egypt and was really good deal cheaper than any other phone with less performance it was really slugish with the official 2.1 rom but after a while..i rooted it .installed a 2.3 custom rom from xda and using a costumizable keyboard like smartkeyboard pro or a.i.type to get bigger buttons the phone changed completely so now its fast ! more resposive,havnt paid any over payment the stylus is very good actually for drawing using easy sketch app ...... as a piece of advice for anybody who is going to buy huawei low end devices ! JUST DONT

  • only cost me £20 from t mobile works fine ,basic camera , and screen, but does everything that a galaxy s can do, i use mainly for 3g broadband connecting it to my netbook (far cheaper than a dongle) 6 months free internet from t mobile , then £20 for another 6 months ( i work for o2 and we cant offer anything this good )

  • The Pulse Mini has being discontinued due to the muptiple faults that kept immerging such as over heating, boot failure, issues with pre-installed software and it also comes in Pink.

  • if this phone is 3g so how to know or how to activate 3g

  • it is very good phone but the problem is this phone is not 3g

  • Yes this phone is 3g but HSPDA which is 6 times faster than 3g UMTS

  • this mobile is 3g? pls suggest

  • i was too thinking soo but you are great. thank you soo much dea............

  • i was considering in buying this phone but have a severe change of mind now some of the reviews ive read are hellish on the phone

  • i have had this phone 4 a week.for a low cost android touch screen phone i am very pleased with it.there are some useful things on it.its my first touch screen phone and i cant fault it

  • aka Huawei8110. No secondary camera CPU: Qualcomm 528MHz Basically almost the same as Vodafone845 except the autofocus, and the flash.

  • Please how can i down load the contact on my Sim card (of another network) to my T-Mobile Pulse Mini Phone. Please advice on how i can transfer and save my previous contact on the T-Mobile Pulse Mini. My E-mail is [email protected] Thanks in anticipation

  • my stylus broke where can i get the exact same one

  • yes does have digital compass,you can pick which type. analogue or digital. or gps.

  • U just compared a galaxy to a iphone u dik

  • why cant t mobile make a cheaper version this one is cheap i know but too small for me

  • Yes it does have wifi and to be really sure just ask shops like carphonewarehouse or t-mobile.

  • yeah its all there in settings bro - screen calibrate all of it there has not been one thing i could not change this phone rox - why aint everyone on Android now its cheap enough

  • Yeah well i have this phone the mini and what can i say 48 pounds english - 2nd hand from c.e.x shepards bush they have millions there, anyways it was as new -some silly fone shop wanted 80 yeah right. Well i wanted a phone i could upgrade and play about with the software - as android phones have to come standard with gps - digital compass - wi fi, etc i knew it had all i need 3G as well so yeah i have all the good apps and the phone works really well - for a cheap smartphone how can i lose.. Just dont compare it to high end phones - saying that i am coming from a touch diamond which was high end a few years ago and this does more so go figure

  • I can't find in my pulse mini time call duration and internet trafic duration. is this fone can show that???

  • Its resistive. If your patient it's OK, I would give the screen 6/10

  • I've got one over Telekom Serbia (Huawei U8110). In fact, phone is really great, but sometimes it stucks and Weather widget and some other apps just stops and don't respond. Camera is fine, screen is really nice as well.

  • maker of this phone loocks to have a laughable inability to spell autofocus and insted it seas autofoucs.check it your self its by the camera under the 3,2 megapixel wrighting.

  • Is the touchscreen sensitivity for the t-mobile pulse mini good. Out of 10 what would you rate the sensitivity, 1 being poor and 10 being excellant. Please reply ASAP. Thanks for your help. ;)

  • This phone is garbage, utter 5hit.. laggy, unresponsive, squishy resistive screen that scratches easily. Just a toy, really.

  • Does anyone know about hard plastic shells for this phone? If so, where can I get one from? (GBP £ if so)

  • " I still cannot determine if has digital compass, anyone know?" It's an Android Phone! That means it MUST have built-in SatNav (Google requires it!) If it doesn't have a pre-loaded digital compass, that's no big deal: pick the one YOU want to install from the Android Market (there are several GOOD free ones to pick)

  • Hey guys, i have one but i bought it with Yoigo (4th Spanish mobile carrier) and it does not come with a stylus, what can i do to get the stylus?

  • I've got one very good phone for 79 pound! from tesco, battery is not too bad like any other phone there is ways to save power brightness, usage etc etc! really for the price this is the best phone you can get for under £100, has WiFi, gps and loads of cool apps! the internet is very fast too, built well too

  • I bought the lg optimus which is not bad but it crashes a lot! So i got one of these, this phone is basically the same phone as the htc tattoo but the pulse mini has better processor! And the tattoo costs 300 pound! God knows why? Htc cant stream this can! This costs 79 pound now and is well worth it screen rez is very good, and all you isheep why do you have to compare every phone to the iphone they cost 7 times more, besides the galaxy s is ten times better than any iphone! FACT!

  • this is the most beautifull phone for this money if you have more manny to spend than bye iphone or nokia n97 hahaha the touch is really good this phone have problem only with the battery nothing else its your money and its your choice bye

  • approximately how long the battery holds?

  • I'm quite interested in buying this phone but I've got one question. Should I really be worried about it's screen quality?

  • The battery power is very poooor........ all futures are gud bt the battery powr is vry low...

  • Is the touch screen vary bad and not sensitive? Can i use it without the pen, only with my finger? Is it worth buying? I know it's the cheapest Android device so far

  • please tell me ... how many days the battery holds? and whether this is a better phone or t-mobile pulse? thanks...

  • What front facing camera?

  • i have one,and the HSDPA runs at 7.2 Mpbs

  • On paper, I really like this phone. But I've been into two T mobile shops and this phone has a really cheap soft plastic screen that can be scratched really easily. Is it just the demo version or are they all like that?? thanks, Norman

  • Battery life can be expanded if you turn off the wifi,3g,bluetooth,but if you want to have a better experience get ready to carry your car charger or travel charger because it really sucks all the battery faster than expected

  • the pulse mini from uk pay as you go is really the most affordable eclair running device ,it got radio and runs google navigator easily ,the front facing camera does not match fring and qik requirements so you can use the 3.2 mp main camera for the videochat you just have to turn the phone every time in order to see and be seen by the other person ,the voice quality in a videochat is not that good but if you turn off video call to call you will get decent quality ,I suggest Dolphin browser and wefi from the app market I hope this could be helpful for everybody

  • please tell me video resolution?

  • Can someone tell me more about the battery life. It seems I can't find a real data about the approximate life of the battery.

  • I have a pulse mini and it most definitely DOES have wifi. Dunno why so many places list it as not having it...

  • i have had this phone for 1 month and for the price you cant go wrong. i have had a lot of mobiles in my time and some have been rubbish for more than a ton.there will be updates to come on this phone and soon so you people who knock it should look at some of the crap mobiles thats out there and some cost more....

  • Sadly not. However, the Motorola Dext is available from Orange at the reduced price of 149 pounds on payg.

  • Im from the U.K and i was wondering if the pulse mini has wifi beacuse in the shop specs it didnt mention anything about wifi plaese help?

  • It has full sat nav software in the uk version. Shop staff vary with expertise. Could not get it working with street view will have to explore further. I still cannot determine if has digital compass, anyone know?

  • I have both phones and in honest, actually prefer the mini. The quality of the original pulse in terms of screen etc was better by far, but the original seems dated. It's strange how quickly things move on. The original pulse is still a good purchase though. Enjoy!

  • Today I risked the 100 pounds and purchased this phone. OK, firstly it is not the original pulse (shame). You do get the 3.5mm headphone jack, but the audio is poor and very quiet. The screen viewing angle can be dodgy, and the 'touch screen' almost needs a hammer blow at times to respond. But this IS a fantastic phone in many areas, it's TINY, and the addition of themes gives you beautiful screens to admire, you can set several personalized themes all which are good. Remember though many apps will NOT look right as this is only a 240x320 display, and running even opera the text is too small at times. The camera is good though, well as good as a top league phone a couple of years back, has auto focus and flash. Video plays well, and spb TV works well. Look upon it as a casual android phone, one that you have as a second phone and it's well worth purchasing. Not sure I like the idea of a stylus on an android handset. Yet to check if it has a digital compass? Overall, it one neat phone for the cash.

  • not really, Huawei is making great phones nowadays, and the hardwares quite good. The design still ok (even though this one looks like a small brother of HTC tatoo) Besides they're also opening gates for more cheap phones. But they just love hiding behind big names (such as T-Mobile, Vodafone)

  • Does anyone know if Froyo Android 2.2 is going to be available for pulse mini? Also is pulse mini a standard Android 2.1 and if so can the nexus version of Froyo be downloaded and updated on pulse mini?

  • For those who care, this device is actually a rebadged Huawei U8110

  • I have t-mobile pulse mini which generally im pleased with. Two things that irritate 1) I cannot see how to use mp3 or midi for message tones (I can only set music for voice calls). Do I have to buy an android app to do this on my phone? 2) The wallpaper editor to set wallpapers is weird I have tried own photos and they wont fit right any ideas?

  • @Tom That's a lie. I'm running Sygic, Navigon and coPilot without any problems on Pulse, although iGo is a bit glitchy.

  • Can anyone clarify the gps support the pulse mini has? i went into the t-mobile store and had a go with the phone.. to be told that it only supports basically google map basic navigation. The rep explained that the pulse and the pulse mini due to having a very weak processor wouldn't support any kind of proper navigation such as sygic and others.. is this true?

  • this fone does not allow words to be added in the predictive text system. my local t mobile store said it was a cut down from the pulse .

  • Does this come with the Digital Compass - for the Google Maps Streetview??

  • Maybe but it has many bugs and problems!! And there is no even one update avilable!

  • i went today in a Tmobile store because i wanted to test both Pulse and Pulse Mini cause i don't know what to get. Well now i dont have any doubt: the winner is...Pulse, even though got an older Android, costs 50 quids more...but it does have a superior touchscreen (in the mini one you gotta push really hard in the soft keyboard), and the screen is much bigger for internet browsing (Mini is really too small); the Pulse screen got the same size of the Iphone which set the standard in terms of everything. I also tried the gps in Google Maps and it does work. Well guys with absolutely any doubts go for Pulse before Tmobile takes it off from the mkt!!!

  • O.K. Thanks :)

  • yes, it runs the latest 2.1 update 1 version

  • build quality is good for a budget handset. screen is good but clearly not up to the standard of highend oled's and typing is ok, but you will make mistakes compared to using higher resolution handsets. if you use the supplied stylus it's fine and you will make few mistakes.

  • Thank you very much! So u are happy with pulse mini? And dont have any problem with it? Just three more questions and i will stop promise! Lol if u can tell me about screen is it good and easy to use and type text? Built quality is plastic cheap? And does it run on latest 2.1 android?

  • yes, based in UK. music playback sounds fine once you throw the awful headphones away (i'm using some sony headphones from an old walkman phone an it sounds great!)

  • Are u from UK!? Im waithing pulse mini to be avilable in Montenegro! I really wanna buy this phone! Thank you for clearing those things! Just one question...music quality?

  • Just bought one today and I'm impressed! 2.1 clearly doesn't run as well as the HTC Desire and other Snapdragon-based handsets but still gives a good experience. To clear up a few if the comments: yes it has 3g, yes it has a radio and yes it has gps (only used it in google maps) there are a few issues with wifi disconnecting however and I hope this is fixed in an update soon. If you can't afford a top-end Android handset then I say go buy the Pulse Mini today!

  • does it have an fm radio as ive seen it in a video and in the menu it shows fm radio,is this an android app or something?

  • @Core That ain't true. Engadget says it runs on MSM7225, which is a 528mhz procesor.

  • This phone actually uses Qualcomm MSM 7227 600 MHz processor , check the specs on net and engadget.com for more info ...

  • Is like The Palm Pre Palm Pre Plus and The Palm Pixi and Palm Pixi Plus Phones.

  • more videos and news please

  • Qualcomm MSM7225 - 528 MHz

  • What Cpu does this phone have 600mhz?

  • This will be a good cheap android phone. Hopefully there'll be distributors (or ebay sellers) to sell it globally. My only concern is with today's announcement that Flash on Android wont' support some of the older CPUs...

  • what?? the page has been updated and pulse mini has GPS

  • "Colors: White" "It doesn't matter if your black or white!" The phone seems black to me, but if gsmarena says it's white...

  • is this going to be available in Asia?

  • it has got 3g

  • This phone is actually not bad. The design is good, has wifi, and document viewers.

  • i like this phone but no 3g!!! means u cant watch you tube video thats not good

  • yes, it will run 2.1

  • its got android 2.1

  • Why there is no info about android version!? on u8110 page it says 2,1! will tmobile version have same version???
