[Q] Huawei Ideos X5.

---

Hi!
Im just thinking about a own forum for Ideos X5. Its a great phone with really good specs for a low price. Its like the Zte blade but twice as good. It's also good for root because of the vanilla rom. So what do you people think?(Hope you understand, im not from a english speaking country)

I completely second this. I'm getting mine this week and I'd love it if the phone had some xda support.

I know this phone is getting quite popular in the non american regions and might get more popular due to the amazing pricing.

Please give us a forum \o/

Yes! Would love a forum. Getting mine soon, looks amazing for the price.
Can't wait for some rom love - Time to replace my mytouch 3g. If this phone came out in the US I think we would be seeing a lot more dev support for it.

Yeah Its a amazing phone for an amazing price If it just come out some good roots and it would be more awesome

Yes! We need a Forum for it!

My friend just bought one of these and it looks pretty sweet, especially for the low price. hopefully it gets a forum and some attention from XDA Devs

These are great value in Australia really cheap. $299 outright from Crazy Johns. Will probably pick one up soon. Really want a gingerbread ROM for it though, please create a section.

Yes, would like to see a forum for it too - it's quite a bit cheaper than equivalent phones.

Yes, forum please.

I bought one yesterday, here in Western Australia.
Been using it for several hours now total and so far have NOT been able to find any menu items for wi-fi tethering.

This post is coming using USB Tethering which worked right out of the box. Tethered to an Asus EEE 701 Netbook running Ubuntu Linux 10.04.

So, if I can't find wi-fi tethering menu item, I'll need to get root access and install barnacle again.

Compared to my Sony Ericsson X8, that I've had since late last year, it's blindingly fast! The big screen is nice too!

So yes, I'm all in favour of a dedicated forum ... I reckon that the Ideos X5 is going to be a big seller, at least here in Australia where I paid $349 for an unlocked, unbranded (vanilla rom) with version 2.2.1 rom.
