Maybe Google’s Android software will be successful after all as Huawei Technologies from China has decided to start producing 2 or 3 phones models by using the software of Google’s Android. The company also intends to make more such models next year.

The head of Huawei’s devices unit, Edward Chen, told Reuters that the company also thinks about making new phones using the software from Symbian and from Linux foundation LiMo. Nokia’s Symbian has lost the lead position in the software platforms market because of Apple and Blackberry maker Research in Motion.

Even if the Linux operating system in computers hasn’t got so much success in cell phones, the role it has might increase with the LiMo platform, which Google uses for its Android platform.

Huawei sells cell phones to telecom operators who sell them under the name of their own brands. Chen added that the company’s goal is to sell 40 to 45 million cell phones in 2009, which is more than the 33 million from last year. Huawei will also introduce a phone which will use the next generation Long Term Evolution technology.

Another important company that wants to buy the Google Android software is Vodafone. The company is said to be ready to sign a contract with HTC, the Taiwanese mobile phone manufacturer, for the release of the so-called Google phone. Both Vodafone and HTC have called the device as G2 and they hope to sign the deal until the Mobile World Congress finishes off.

HTC had also released the first Gphone, the G1, which was a rival of the T-Mobile last autumn. Even if many mobile manufacturers like Motorola, LG or Samsung have tried to put Google’s Android on their cell phones too, the G1 is the only device that uses the search engine’s software.
