Haier H7 Android handset set for September launch

by Donald Melanson posted Jun 17th 2009 at 12:14PM

Haier may not exactly be breaking any new ground with the outward appearance, but its new H7 handset is an Android phone (which still counts for something these days), and it's reportedly on track for a launch as soon as this September -- in France, at least. Unfortunately, the phone the company had on display at CommunicAsia 2009 was just a non-functional mockup, but the final model will apparently pack a 2.8-inch touchscreen, along with a 2-megapixel camera, built-in GPS, WiFi, and, most importantly, Android 2.0 (a.k.a Donut) -- assuming it's available by the time the phone launches. No word on any release plans beyond France just yet, but the H7 will reportedly run $150 -- on contract, presumably.

So, wait, does that mean Android 2.0 will be out in September, too?

So, wait, does that mean this won't have 3G connectivity?
Any word about the operator(s)?
