Vodafone 858 – new Android 2.2 phone made by Huawei

A reader rummaging through a technical database of Huawei model numbers has discovered the existence of an unannounced Android phone, which is going under the name of the Vodafone 858.

The Huawei-made Vodafone 858 is listed as running Android 2.2 with full Flash Player support, while a preformatted XML file reveals the handset will arrive with a 240×320 resolution screen. This is it:

This photo is admittedly rather small and terrible, but would appear to be the phone in question. It’s listed as the Vodafone 858 on this Bluetooth accessory site, which also refers to it under its manufacturer model name of Huawei U8160. We suspect the term “entry level” may be used in conjunction with this one when Vodafone makes it official.

Thanks to reader Simon for the tip.
