I know that it's not screaming fast, doesn't run flash etc.

But it does have a huge screen which my increasingly presbyopic eyes can read a lot better. The SF screen was too small and just getting too blurry. It's not practical to have reading glasses handy when out and about.

Speed isn't everything.

Totally agree, the Camera is better than the Blade too, and has a flash too.
I quite like the Orange Home Boost App too, it allows you to make calls over Wifi, so simple too.
That's whats putting me off a custom rom!

Oh cool, I did realise that was still in there.

pros over the blade i have both

screen  size quality great  put alongside my sons desire hd  seems as good if not better colours more deep
battery life  9hrs on standby still 100% larger capacity
uma or orange signal boost   great addition good reason to keep the orange sim if you get bad reception at home  http://help.orange.c...personal/446533
speaker  very good quality blows the blades speaker out of the water
phone is a lot faster/smoother than reports suggest using pauls gr1 kitchen rom    pauls media server app is nice

im glad i upgraded my blade cracked screen but still working fine (glad my screen cracked or else i wouldn't have bothered upgrading) don't play many games just satnav and apps so this should keep me going 12 months or so

1) my provari 2) my monte carlo 3) my wife               number 2 may change in time
