  • Specification on Huawei's website. Not sure how well it would run Android 2.3 with only 256MB of memory.

  • +1

    This will be the price at Woolworths from this week too.
    Pity it wont work on NextG network.
    But a + anyway from me.

  • Currently running the higher spec X5 (800Mhz, 512MB memory) on Android 2.2 and it's noticeably laggy at times.

    Less power on 2.3 would be painful.

  • Does 2.3 really require any higher specs than 2.1/2.2? I would have thought it may even be faster due to refinement/optimisation of the code. (Although with 600mhz/256mb ram I'd expect some lag on any android 2.x version)

    • depends on what you're running, everyone always looks at the cpu speed but forget the gpu which can cause a lot of lag, some of the cheaper tablets with a 1ghz cpu struggle with 720p playback, then you have something like the witstech a81, a8 cortex cpu@600mhz but good gpu so plays 720p fine, 1080p in slow motion, although at 8000kbps the memory card speed might have had something to do with that

  • If it has good sound output for music I'll buy it but will not know until it's reviewed.

    • the sound is ok. its loud but not crisp

  • well it's about time tyhey reduced their $248 price to match Big W's $188 from a few weeks ago

  • perhaps a good alternative:

    the Acer Liquid Mini is $199 @ GG atm http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Prod…

    it's upgradeable to 2.3, 512MB RAM and has a 5MP camera but no secondary camera though

  • You can now get $30 off with $200 purchased
