It seems it’s not just Dick Smith getting in on the Huawei X5 action, this amazingly spec’d, low-cost device is headed to Crazy John’s stores from tomorrow (26th) and online from next week. CJ’s have pointed out on Twitter that there will only be ~300 devices in stock across stores, so you’ll have to get in quick to get your hands on one. The X5 from CJ’s is running Vanilla 2.2.1 though it has no WiFi Tethering functionality, currently. Pricing for the Huawei X5 is fairly simple, you can buy it outright & unlocked for $349, which is the same price at Dick Smith, or you can sign up to a $29 contract which will give you $200 credit and a bonus 1GB of data if you sign up before March 8. So set your alarms for early tomorrow morning and head into your local Crazy John’s.
