Huawei promised to bring its Android phone to the 2009 Mobile World Congress, and the Chinese cell phone manufacturer fulfilled its promise. However, there is one rather important detail: an early glimpse at the iPhone lookalike device is about all that Huawei was willing to share.

Huawei’s booth at MWC puts its Android phone on display, but the non-working model wasn’t turned on or exhibiting how the phone will perform. Wi-Fi, GPS, camera? Who knows. No details about the phone’s features were released and no information about carriers, availability, price, or even its name, were announced. (Huawei leaves branding to cell phone carriers).

A press release from Huawei revealed only that the company has “partnered with a design consultancy to develop a robust and user-friendly interface.”

That translates to an Android-powered phone with a different set of icons, themes, and general experience. Here are some renderings of the mystery phone.
