Huawei U550 does 3G

Huawei’s U550 clamshell cellphone was recently paraded at CommunicAsia 2007, and this handset certainly does hold its own against other more established brands in terms of features. In addition to HSDPA connectivity that gives you speedy Internet access on-the-go, you also get touch sensitive buttons ala Chocolate, letting you groove to your favorite digital music tracks without ever flipping the U550 open. No word on pricing or availability at this point in time though, although it probably won’t carry a premium price since it has to take the lower price route in order to increase its market presence first.
