Hello

What do you think. Will this phone replace OMC as "best buy" phone.
I mean: for small amount of money we got quite a good phone.

Thank you.

KInd regards

[tilal6991]

Pretty much - yes.

Price wise & spec...it should but I think its all going to come down to how easy it is/will be to customize the phone; if its as easy as the ZTE Blade was then I suspect this phone might well take the crown

[everett_psycho]

I think it should, to me this is what the osf 2 and monte carlo should have been spec wise, what they released wasn't a good enough spec boost to warrant upgrading

[hecatae]

at the moment, yes, the new zte devices have yet to appear.

the Motorola MotoLuxe is an equivalent device and it's £80 more expensive, for a Moto logo and a locked bootloader

Lumina 710 is a better device for not much more.

what do you mean with " easy it is/will be to customize the phone"?

does customizing depends on the phone?

We've had no reports of getting into recovery, fastboot or bootloader modes yet, plus we are waiting for the first rooted device and clockworkmod recovery port

Awesome. What version of Android does the Lumia 710 run?

Yeah, I reckon it could definitely be the new budget king.

Can't get into fastboot / bootloader yet, I have got into recovery which won't flash unsigned zips and has ADB enabled in non-root mode only.

Maybe so, but the difference is small, and not everybody wants a walled garden called Mango. I think both phones are going to have an impact, and maybe some of the ZTE once they become available.

[Mrian]

yes.

how hard would it be to put android on that phone though?

[NeostarNeko]

Thinking...thinking...but no...it's a good upgrade for those using the OSF though

[DVDeus]

Agree on that! I only miss physical buttons.

off topic, but..since this phone will be (already is) very popular....

What do you think, how many phones has vodafone on stock. Can it happen that they will be sold out in short time (few days, one week....)
