Huawei's a bag of mixed feelings if you go around all their 
platforms.

I know GSM/3G engineers who swear by them, and a few 
DWDM/SONET/SDH experts that are 50/50. While some IP 
engineers are polarized altogether.

It really all depends on if your application is IP or telco. 
As an IP engineer, reiterating what Pshem said, they are 
just not yet mature.

We've used some of their kit for GPON access, those just 
work with no major drama. But then again, feature 
requirements aren't that major there compared to an IP/MPLS 
core backbone.
