The phone here is another from orange that looks to be a rebranded ZTE, like my blade but i cant find any info on it, i seemed to have found that it maybe a zte-g n295 but i cant seem to find it on their site, atm it runs using an orange operating system can this be changed, does anyone actually have this phone to comment on how it works and how easy it is to unlock?

I saw a video review that said it was def not android and said it has a 528 Mhz cpu, So im thinking arm cpu jus tI think it would be good if I could get android on it.

By the looks of it I think Its a Samsung Star II

Right :) :

Orange Sidney, another Android-based smartphone, also known as Samsung Star II, is also listed as “coming soon” on the carrier's official website.

In case of doubt, Yahoo is ur best friend... Took me about 8 seconds to find it ...

:D

Apparently the Sydney is a featurephone rather than an Android smartphone

Cheap and cheerful from the looks of it, but it certainly ain't no blade

thanks so much, it's a windows phon (5) and it's the same with imate jamin and htc prophet.

Eh? I really don't think it is - they're completely different devices from this - as mentioned earlier, the ZTE Sydney is a rebranded Samsung S5260 Star II (otherwise known as the Samsung Tocco Icon) running Touchwiz 3

Not worth getting too excited about and not moddable in any interesting way

Or so I thought, then I got on a bit of a Google trail and discovered that actually there are some loons out there modding things like this - here are some instructions about installing new firmware

Youtube vid about an Iphone mod, or a blackberry storm mod

Really, have these people nothing better to do with their time?

(yes, I am aware of the irony in my last comment - am stepping away from the keyboard)
