Huawei Technologies raised the bar in mobile communications with the launch of a dual-mode 3G handset that supports UMTS, GPRS and GSM networks.

The handset supports Java games and applications software and features built-in wireless modem, WAP 2.0 browser, Bluetooth connection and PC synchronization with Bluetooth via USB. In addition, the U636 has a memory of 40 Megabytes and a maximum capacity of 1 Gigahertz.

Users looking for a digital imaging experience in their phone will find the U636 equipped with a 180 ?nbsp; rotatable 1.3 mega pixels digital camera that supports 4x digital zooming for photo and video capture. With a color display resolution of 262K and dual color TFT screens, entertainment-focused users can expect a bright color display of while viewing their pictures and videos. The U636 is expected to be rolled out globally starting from August.
