The Android Pulse Looks Like a WinMo Phone

Fans of the Google Android may hesitate a little before trying their hands on this new 3G phone, the T-Mobile Pulse. While the Android is usually implemented in high end devices that make full use of the wide range of Android functionality, the Pulse concentrates more on having a low price to attract its buyers.

With competition from other high end Android devices running high at the end of this year, it seems that T-Mobile’s strategy is going to pay off.  With many mobile phone users already tired with seeing one Windows Mobile device after another, it is good to know that there is a cheap alternative to experience the Google Android.

Good Price Decisions

The big draw of the Pulse is its low price, it is easily the cheapest Android on the market; mostly, this is due to the manufacturer, Asian electronics manufacturer Huawei is providing the hardware for the pulse. The company has had experience in developing Android smart phones when they showcased their own Android models at the recent Mobile World Congress. T-Mobile is launching the Pulse with pay-as-you-go deals allowing buyers with a good range of options for getting this phone.

Hardware for Android

The Pulse may be using the old Android 1.5 Cupcake, but it still packs some serious capabilities. The phone itself will have quad band network support as well as connectivity options for 3G HSDPA, GPRS, EDGE and wireless LAN. The camera is a whooping 5 mega pixels and can also shoot images. The device itself will display and playback images, videos and music of various file formats. Lastly, it will have A-GPS, Bluetooth and a microUSB slot. All in all, this is great Android smart phone thanks to a great balance of hardware and cheap price. Expect the Pulse to arrive this last quarter of 2009.
