Virgin Media will offer the ZTE Grand X on prepay for £189.99

[Davidoff59]

1650 mah battery, 512 mb RAM, 1ghz dual core processor.  Are these specs correct?

[hecatae]

yes, those specs are correct

[the_crevis]

I'm disappointed with the amount of RAM on the device, 1GB would have been nice, poor show.

Edit: Still getting one though! ;D

You going to get 1 hecatae?  1 gig. of RAM and I would be all over it.  Will the battery cope?
Hardly the. most advanced gaming phone they were hyping up is it?

see, at the moment you can pick up a LG Optimus 2X for £196 simfree from places like Expansys, same specs, same chipset, same ram...

When?

From the Press release I see the LTE version has a model number of T82, I wonder which version Virgin are planning on putting out..  I assume its STILL too early for LTE in the UK

From zte, I do not trust Virgin media press since they screwed up the kis online availability

[tillaz]

what the hell, this phone should have 1GB RAM clocked @1.2Ghz.... i think the specs mentioned above are wrong

the Chinese version has the specs i mention above and has been available 3 month now...

look here
http://www.360buy.co...uct/616988.html

if not, then the uk are getting ripped off

im waiting for the ERA... i have tegra 2, its not that advanced anymore... if the era is £250 i would rather pay a little more for the latest quad core chip.
BUT, that could be a long wait...

[TouchyAndalou]

I'm interested to hear whether the camera in this is a significant improvement over previous ZTE handsets. I'm hoping to get the Era around December, but I'll be put off if the camera/video recording isn't up to speed.

And the price is not that good.It is expensive for 189pounds.If it was around 150,then it would have been nice.And only 512mb RAM?????? It was suppose to be 1GB....ZTE seems to be rubbish. I would go for HUAWEI G300 for only 100 pounds now probably and not that much different in specs. What about ERA,will they release it NEXT SUMMER and claim it is the fastest gaming phone?

the version's that are available in china & turkey right now ARE 1Gb ram, 1.2ghz cpu
i think those specs could be wrong.. unless the uk is getting ripped off

would wait until some one has the device to confirm, if true 512mb ram.. its not worth it

this version here u970, has 1gb of ram 1.2ghz and its been available 3 month £149.99

Virgin Media press release:

[the_crevis]

I guess it really is going to have 512mb of RAM :/ as @tillaz said its now not worth it, what to go for instead? Or it is it somehow possible to import a Grand X from Turkey...?
