*Edit*
One more thing which is so far confusing for me is, some websites which Huawei Ideos description say that the screen is 2.8″ with 256k color and most of them don’t mention the color because a TFT screen with Andriod is usually with 16million colors which is a standard now. So I am not sure whether it has 16mil colors or just 256k screen.

(I didn’t get my hands on the handset yet, as soon as I see the handset, will update the post with the pictures.)
