The zte mimosa x is called U970 in china. And It is a TD-SCDMA version,which is a China Mobile's 3G standard.  But this version get only 5megapixel of cammera. I'm sure there will be a WCDMA version later.Maybe is called V970

the U970 is on sell in 25th April.

The price is 2199 RMB with a 8G microSD card,which is about ￡215

And I believe that the wcdma version is a little cheaper than the td-scdma version.That's true in china.

update 1: There are more colour back and the price is down to ￡197 with a 8G of microSD card !

I was very interested in this mobile, but with this price, I think it's too expensive...

Hi zhanke, thanks for the information and pictures. Do you know when the ZTE Era is due to be released in China and how much it will cost? Thanks.

Well, ZTE is just like a lazy boy, I guess the ZTE Era will be released in the end of this year !  because the quad-core processor phone isn't so accepted by people now ! and the price is too high !   I am not sure The first launch country is china !  ZTE is used to launching his phone in UK first .  such as the ZTE Tania,we can't buy it in china now !

Can this handset be used in the UK? And would you know whether I can buy this at the said price above states without incurring more shipping tax & charges?...

If that is the price,I think it is too expensive.I expected it to be around 150 pounds..........and I really waited it to come out.Now we have to look for some other smart phone to buy

I think it's a very decent price. He states, that outside-china price will be lower. Also, it is a new phone, so the prices will probably drop in a few months... I think it's totally a bargain for anything under 200€, just look for a phone with comparable specs (SoC, qHD display, memory, camera, camcorder), it would probably cost more than 400€. Tegra 2 is relatively new SoC and very well performing, so I suppose it's a bit expensive still. Uncomparable to outdated an cpu in blade, or skate, that lacks performance, so the price is reasonable.

If it is around 150 punds....A big possibility I might be buying it..............At around 200,I will think about that.There are some models from HUAWEI that will come out probably......SO we will see..................But MIMOSAX and ERA were suppose to come out at the end of MAY,but ZTE has failed.Does anyone knows when they will be released????

uk price will be £189.99 and that's sim free

if a carrier brands it like orange it could be even cheaper,

the era & mimosa x are planned for a Q2 release, witch is any time from now (June)

Got a link to where you found how much it is gonna be when it arrives in UK please?...

[juno106]

What about the price of ERA? How much it will cost in UK?....it seems that my new phone will be either MIMOSA X or ERA (depending when will ZTE release them),and if HUAWEI doesn't release some more interesting and cheaper new model

And TILLAZ,since you have experience with mobile phones,how do you think MIMOSA X compares to SAN DIEGO?Which one is better according to the specifications?

i didn't find the price online... i was emailed by a company that will be stocking both the zte era & mimosa x

its fairly obvious that the mimosa x will cost no more than £199.99 in the uk... considering its been available in china at this price for the past 3 month

zte era will range from £249.99 depending where you buy it..

if people don't want to believe it then that's fine

mimosa x has better specs, its dual core tegra 2
i would avoid the SAN DIEGO.. as a developer its not looking good for that device...

I'm assuming that you'll be getting either the mimosa x or the era?... & if so, you'd be devving it & try to get ICS custom rom, maybe CM9 for it some time after rooting it?...

yeah, zte era is certain for me as i already have a tegra 2 device (lg optimus 2x) so the mimosa x is not an option for me.
i will be making a custom rom based on stock ics for the era
