Huawei will start making Android and Symbian powered smartphones during next year. The Chinese telecommunications company is a member of Android Open Handset Alliance, and has also joined Symbian Foundation — the announcement was made during this year’s Smartphone Show in London.
Apparently, the first such Huawei smartphones will appear during the first half of 2009, but will not “carry” the Huawei brand. Rather, it will be the operators which will brand the devices with their logos.
So far, Huawei has made only a single smartphone, which is powered by Windows Mobile. Other than that, they are known as an entry-level handset maker and their entrance into the higher end of the market will certainly be a good thing for consumers.
Mobile World Congress is approaching and I can’t wait to see all the new and cool smartphones that will be introduced at the event. Stay tuned in the meantime…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
