In addition to the T-Mobile Pulse/U8220, Huawei has another Android phone called U8230. Recently, the phone has been previewed and tested by French site, pointgphone.com.

The Huawei U8230 sports a Qualcomm MSM7200A 528MHz processor and 128MB RAM. It gets a 3.5-inch capacitiv touchscreen with 320×480 resolution and a 3.2 Megapixel camera. The device, like the Magic and Hero, has a trackball. It’s 2.5mm jack simply makes it less attractive.
Conclusion from pointgphone:

The Huawei U8230 is clearly not the Android smartphone of the year. That said, if it comes at a fair price and if these defects do not seem insurmountable (low internal storage, 3.2 mega pixels, 2.5 mm jack), he still ample satisfy you! Despite a rather classical aesthetics, there was still the mouth and if it does not spark at technical or application, it remains very competitive compared to what you can find on the market today.

I think he clearly has a card to play today but the competition will be fierce with the models announced for the coming months.
