Huawei’s been talking up its impending play for a share of the Android pie for most of this year, but where’s the beef? There’s nothing in the market just yet, but that might be about to change with details on a so-called “Pulse” for some of T-Mobile’s European networks in the coming months. The Chinese manufacturer specializes in the value segment — a side effect of its brand not really commanding any premium outside Asia — and the Pulse could be a big winner there thanks to an unlocked price said to be around €250 ($356). That’s an impressively low figure in light of the supposed 3.5-inch display, full HSPA, GPS (of course), WiFi, and an HVGA display like all proper Android sets of the moment. Dutch site tweakers.net says this is all confirmed by way of a retailer that pegs the device for T-Mobile Netherlands in early October, which means the Heros and Galaxys of the world have precious little time to capitalize before these guys swoop in and undercut ‘em all by a few bucks.

Remember that mysterious Huawei Android number from MWC? It’s all grown up and officially launched as the U8230 now. Specs are still maddeningly ambiguous, however — the only hard info we’ve got is a 3.5-inch touchscreen and a 1500mAH battery, which is said to be the largest battery “among Android-powered handsets currently available.” Considering the only set that’s really out there is the notoriously battery-poor G1, that’s not such a radical claim, but we’d sure love to test this one out in person when this launches (perhaps on T-Mobile?) alongside the 2.8-inch Windows Mobile-powered C8000 later this year.

Leaked carrier roadmap documents of unknown age and origin aren’t necessarily the most accurate things in the world, but they are one very awesome, important thing: leaked. Pictured above is a fragment of one such spreadsheet that we’ve had the good fortune of receiving for T-Mobile USA — obviously it’s a little bit on the small slide, but no sweat, we’ll walk you through what it’s saying. Again, we wouldn’t take these dates as the gospel truth, but we’d venture to say they’re a good rough guide for what to expect out of these guys for the next few months. Move along for the full list!
