So I picked up the Huawei U8100 and I have to say it’s pretty snappy. For a phone with the same CPU speed as my HTC Dream (T-mobile G1) it performs much better.<\/p>\n

I did break down and download Celestial Teapot<\/a> in a bid to fix an annoying bug however. There’s a problem where if you plug in headphones and you don’t have music playing when you do, it halves the bitrate of the sound output or something. Basically everything sounds muffled.<\/p>\n

You can fix this by simply going into the music player before plugging in your headphones.<\/p>\n

With Celestial Teapot<\/a> I am running my phone at 672Mhz, so a full 100Mhz overclock I believe. Even with this overclock the phone lasts a few days on a single charge. Oh, did I mention it uses the exact same power battery as the Dream? Somehow with pretty much the same components Huawei has managed to save a ton of battery life, and I certainly appreciate it.<\/p>\n

In fact that’s pretty much the only reason I went for a new phone. My HTC Dream could barely make it through a day anymore. That and the price was right. At $160 without a contract or free with, you can’t go wrong there.<\/p>\n

Update: Somehow Celestial Teapot locked my phone’s network down so I couldn’t connect to Wind anymore. So I installed the proper Wind ROM and have been using that since. I get better battery life running at stock speed anyway, and the built-in WiFi tether app is better than the free ones I’ve found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
