I plan to get this within the next week or so, usually what's the stock OS version provided?

And the phone can use instagram yes? Getting one for the missus.

I just got my hand on the phone. So far most works like a charm, although there are times where the 3G/internet just died off. A quick reset of phone and it works again.

Initially I thought it was Celcom issue. But apparantly not.

Waiting for official ICS rom.

I got bored and downgraded all the way to 2.3.6.

The response is much faster now, and battery life much better. I will wait for official and also after everyone has tested the ICS.

Win XP = Android 2.3.6
Win Vista = ICS

I will follow you very soon. Start to feel tired of the ICS problems (unexpected app stop, freezes and so on..).

Yeah. Thanks for the downgrade guide.

My life much easier with 2.3.6. No freeze/lag response for apps. smile.gif

Although highly customisable, this is where sometimes android failed. For the common user; stable OS with minimal is what they all need. This I have to bow to iOS 5.1. Sigh.

adfy, tell me once you fiddle around with the official firmware.

While changing is nice, seeing that its a phone i use often, dont feel like fiddling much with it.

Using Go launcher at the moment and i agree. Feature rich but a bit on the heavy side. But so far no satisfactory replacement for it just yet.

Looks like ICS is up for Huawei Honor on the website.

Darn. I didn't read that

1) Support for Android 4.0...

I somehow read it as

1) Installs Android 4.0.

I'm still happy with GB rom so far. But is curious for ICS if the firmware is a good one for honor.

What application do you guys have in your honor? I do find that the available RAM somewhat limits the usability...
