The T-Mobile Pulse, manufactured by Huawei, is an attempt to take Google's Android platform to mid-market customers for the first time
The Pulse has its own user-interface skin, which is more basic than the Sense UI employed by HTC in its Hero handset.
Unlike the Sense, the Pulse's browser does not allow for multitouch zooming in and out, with that functionality coming instead from two soft keys. T-Mobile has, as usual, embedded its own tabbed homescreen in the browser.
Outside of the browser, the Pulse's UI skin includes three home screens: one for the clock and the most-used applications, one for contacts and one for other applications. It allows the user to zoom out to view all three screens at once, for an overview of all application icons.
As with other non-Google-branded Android handsets, such as the HTC Hero, the Pulse will include Microsoft Office Outlook functionality for access to work emails.
