According to multiple reports, Huawei's recently unveiled Ideos Android smartphone is headed to T-Mobile USA, and it will be cheap.
The Ideos runs Android 2.2, Google's latest firmware update for the mobile OS.
If the reports prove accurate, T-Mobile will sell the entry-level device for just $49 with contract or $199 without, creating a very cheap way for users to get into updated Android smartphones.
The price point works for both sides because T-Mobile is looking to increase their smartphone market share and Huawei is looking to break into the American market.
Huawei's Ideos has a small 2.8-inch capacitive QVGA touch screen and 3G with support for 7.2Mbps HSDPA.
