As a slowish ARM11 design I doubt it's going to be qualified for flash compatibility: at which point it becomes no better than the 2 year old HTC Magic that vodafone used to do. I accept that won't be an issue for a lot of people, but somehow new Android devices without flash just seem a little anaemic to me...... In this case it's the pre-Snapdragon Qualcomm MSM7225 ...
Doesn't seem like too bad a deal, though it has pretty tough competition with the ZTE Blade (Orange San Francsco). I'm not too fussed with the lack of support for flash and youtube seems to work well enough on my Blade.
Most things seem fast enough though I do seem to get the odd lags/stutters with say angry birds. I just installed the Navfree stuff yesterday, routing seems ok but menus are a bit sluggish. I believe the 7225 in the Smart is a slower cpu so might be pushing it a little with the more demanding apps. The Google stuff always seems to be fairly nippy.
Still if it goes for about £70-£80 mark there is a lot of useful phone there.
I also challenge Huawei to come up with a camera that is as truly awful as the one in the ZTE!
Ill stick with my san fransisco for now

Assuming it's running at the recommended 528MHz maximum it will struggle with quite a few apps: thats' the same speed processor as my HTC Magic has and it can barely play Angry Birds at all, and Tux Rider is a slide show: 2-3fps.

A nice phone to have. Not very expensive and the customized back covers have very attractive designs. the phone looks beautiful.
