I don't think so, they've already announced the grand era for the end of Q4.

well if true there Facebook quote is a fail..  tegra 2 is not one of the best gaming smartphones any more... it was...  tegra 3 devices are

tegra 2 is ancient, iv had mine nearly a year.. and i got it a year after it first released

zte are a joke, at MWC 2012  where they first showed off the zte era they said it would be releasing Q2... now they say Q4 on facebook...

i dont know what to believe any more

EDIT:
6 days from now they will be releasing this phone... there has been no advertising on the web for where to actually buy it from or anything..
this will be a massive fail... how many people will actually know its available after 6 days time? and where they can go buy it?

i for one, would certainly not know if i never read this thread... (i have a feeling they are talking crap again, or they really are terrible at marketing lol)

EDIT2: WTF... i think they are just announcing yet another phone.. before some event in London on the 18th

they say we can have it in are hands, so i expect a phone been released... if not i have no more respect for zte,
they are just misleading everyone and talking s*** on facebook etc...

they announced nine new phones at MWC 2012 seven month ago, not one has released... by the time there available something better will be available..

TEGRA 3 + is coming this year

TEGRA 4 (wayne) start of 2013

Getting tired of waiting for this phone. Have around £200 to spend and was holding out for one of these for so long only to find out its name has changed and release date keeps getting pushed back. It's either this or a G300 which to be honest isn't my cup of tea but will buy one for it's bang for the buck performance if this phone isn't with us in the next month =(

Yeah I've been following their UK Twitter feed and saw this a couple of hours ago "ZTE UK ‏@ZTE_UK
Only 4 days left until we announce something special! Hope you're as excited as we are!".

I want to get excited but knowing ZTE I will be let down so I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see it until someone tells me the Mimosa X/Grande LTE or whatever its called is out.

coolsmartphone have stated on twitter they have been invited to a zte press conference, they would not be inviting tech sites if was just another new phone announcement, no this will be something the tech journalists can hold in their hands and report on.

[juno106]

ZTE ERA will be coming out at the end of Q3 (that is what they announced,but that will probably be in Q4.Same as MIMOSA X,they announced it's release in Q2,and still hasn't be released and we are in Q3)

[hecatae]

the European version of the Mimosa X is called the Grand X and was launched in Turkey on the 20th June 2012 http://wwwen.zte.com...620_313818.html

i'v been hearing they are announcing something like the xperia play

by saying on twitter we can hold it in are hands, they give the impression they are releasing something...
other wise we all cant have one in are hand... just the invited people

some zte people on the youtube videos say Q2 for the era, others say Q3, and even Q4

i don't think they know them self... lol

[juno106]

We will see in 2 days   Either we will be pleasently surprised or very much dissapointed. If they don't release GRAND X and ERA by the end of july for sure I'm getting HUAWEI G-300.I can't wait for ZTE any more

[Sebastian404]

Way back in Feburary at MWC, ZTE showed 4 devices..

https://twitter.com/...6803712/photo/1

The Kis and the Skate 2 have been released...

We are talking about the Mimosa X here, But what about the Skate Acqua...  

Also don't forget they had a load of tablets on display, some of them are out in the rest of Europe.. maybe ZTE want to try and ruin the Nexus 7 party..

[ocirnes]

Rumours say, ZTE wants to axe about 12.000 jobs in the near future due to a profit collapse.
No wonder, when they are just announcing phones and not selling them..

Tomorrow will be some kind of great ZTE release. Waiting.

[Davidoff59]

don't hold out too much hope.It's been a complete let down since MWC.

Probably losing money due to their Kernel handling of the Zte Blade as well as not releasing phones. The grand X was a great upgrade path from the Blade but some got. fed up with no news and went with the G300.  They only have themselves to blame for any current predicament.

[Sir_Didymus]

Are we there yet?! Sorry, I meant is it out yet?! LOL! Not holding my breath but some of the crap ZTE come out with on their Twitter and Facebook feeds are hilarious. I ROFL'ed at this...


ZTE UK ‏@ZTE_UK
