We've known for a while that Chinese manufacturer Huawei was readying a Google Android phone, but not when it would be ready to come out and play. Looks like the answer is Feb. 16, at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona. According to this official Huawei page, they'll be showing a "Smart mobile phone based on 'Android' platform" in a section of their booth marked "Mobile U-life." Will we be there? U betcha.
Huawei is a large manufacturer with a relatively small presence in the US. They currently have one phone on the US market, the M328 with MetroPCS.
MWC is looking to be a big show. We already know Palm is planning an announcement, and there will also be announcements from Nokia, Microsoft, Samsung and HTC. Samsung and HTC are expected to announce Android devices, though these sorts of things can change at the last minute.
