LAS VEGAS--One of the most interesting (and possibly best) things about the Huawei Ideos X5 is what it lacks.
The Ideos X5 is one of a couple Android smartphones we've seen without a customized skin on top of the stock Android operating system. Not all of those skins are bad by any means, but Android purists will welcome the simple, straightforward interface. Take a look at the phone and its features in this First Look video from the CES show fly.
