I talked to the Huawei Kenya CEO Herman He for next Thursday's Money Matters and he says about 50,000 IDEOS phones have been sold so far in Kenya. It gets better: he claims that they now have 45% share of the smartphones market in Kenya.

It is still too early to tell, because the phone has been around for about 3 months. But the 1 year warranty it comes might be taken as a hint to its longevity.

For now we only know that it is a Chinese phone.
