Wind Mobile has just announced their first Android handset, the Huawei U8100. It’s not the HTC Magic, but it’s a start. For $160, you get a 2.8″ QVGA touchscreen, 3.2 megapixel camera, 3G, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, and Android 2.1. Not a bad deal at all.
It’s high time Wind offered something with Android, as its popularity is exploding, and the hardware is prolific. Now that they’re offering an Android handset, a BlackBerry, and a Symbian phone, the one conspicuously absent player is iPhone; unfortunately, Wind getting a deal with Apple will likely depend on T-Mobile getting it first (since they operate on the same AWS bands and are much bigger).
