Huawei Summit hits T-Mobile for $50 sporting faux-Android duds

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/19/huawei-summit-hits-t-mobile-for-50-dollars/)

A recent [leaked T-Mobile roadmap](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/12/t-mobile-holiday-roadmap-leaked/) showed a Huawei Summit handset that we suspected was "possibly Android-flavored," and now that the device has arrived in the carrier's shop, we're still not certain. It's a basic phone, to be sure, with a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 display, 3.2-megapixel rear camera, GPS, [Swype](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/12/t-mobile-holiday-roadmap-leaked/) keyboard, WiFi, Bluetooth and HSPA+ network support. What's not clear is the OS, which T-Mob cryptically lists as "proprietary," but appears to at least have Android underpinnings, judging by the phone's manual (and the fact that it's rocking Swype). Hopefully, that won't incur the [wrath](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/15/google-wants-better-compatibility-for-android/) of Mountain View, but if you need a basic $50 phone and don't care about Android-this or [Open Handset Alliance](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/15/google-wants-better-compatibility-for-android/)-that, check the source.
