It will be making its debut at the Nokia World Event in September 2009 along with its siblings, Nokia 5900, Nokia Rover and may be the Nokia 5800i.

While the banding isn’t right for 3G speeds on T-Mobile US, a recent
FCC filing shows the stamp of approval for “Model Number:T-Mobile
Pulse/Pulse/U8220.” I suppose it could be a T-Mo Europe phone to be re-branded for use on another American carrier, but it sure doesn’t look like that’s the direction this is heading. What people are talking most about is the product’s association with (or
alter-ego as) the premier Stateside Huawei Android device we’ve been reading
about for months.

Paul from MoDaCo got his hands on a build of the forthcoming firmware update to HTC’s Hero, and he says the new build takes the Android smartphone “to the next level.” Gone is the lag. Smooth are the flicks between home screens. And that annoying thing where the analog clock updates itself - while you watch - every time it reappears on your display? That’s gone too!

The Samsung Omnia HD thats was launched a few days back in India was portrayed as the fastest Omnia HD on the block by Samsung with a 1GHz ARM processor but this notion was busted today by GSM Arena. Thanks folks. The omnia HD that made its way to India is the same Omnia HD with same processing power that was launched in countries across the world. India’s Omnia HD is not different from them. So was this done deliberately by Samsung to drive the sales of Omnia and also to gather media coverage on its launch.
