Does this phone have flash and willl bbc iplayer work on it? Someone please confirm

And is it worth upgrading from a ZTE Blade/ZTE Crescent?

[feckineejit]

bbc iplayer works on this phone, don't know anything about zte crescent but i've had my SF from the day they came out and was happy with that. i've still got it but g300 is my daily phone now

[Daniel Meah]

Does it work direct from market? or does it need the cracked version

[Frankish]

Market version should work fine as the G300 is an armv7 phone.

[Daniel Meah]

Okay cool thanks;. Also can anyone confirm a presense of a HSUPA chip? downside to the blade was the lack of HSUPA (Fast upload speeds)

Hi Daniel

Just to add to the above you'll need to install Flash from Google Play as well but this is straight forward!! (No crack needed)

[RussellS]

As it happens I've just been watching 'Have I Got News For You' on BBC iPlayer on the G300. Just download the iPlayer app and Adobe Flash both from the Android market and away you go. No cracks needed.

Yup, this phone does Flash natively, and BBC iPlayer works excellently with no stutters; I have watched Have I Got News For You, Doctor Who and Russel Howard's Good News on it so far.


Also, as for HSUPA, yes it does have it, speeds up to 5.76Mbps

I dont think that site is too reliable. For example it says the blade has HSUPA. where it does not

[feckineejit]

The blade does have HSUPA or at least mine does

If you have one you can test it, Download the speedtest.net app and run a test. if it passes 300-400K you have HSUPA Also pings will be lower.

I don't live in a 3G area, so wouldn't be able to confirm till I went to work tomorrow morning.
