Guest Maringer Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I missed the e2save deal, and in fact they seem to have taken the phone off the site entirely. Ordered from Carphone Warehouse instead, but they emailed me to say that they're out of stock too. Ah bollocks. Bet the next stock will be all TFT - seems like everywhere has run out of shiny OLED units... Hmmm. That's an odd one. I ordered from Carphone Warehouse on-line last night and they have confirmed receipt of the order and processed the charge against my credit card. No other contact from them yet so I wonder if they have sold out yet still charged my card? I'll give them another day or so before contacting them to see what is going on.

I ordered on the 5th, recieved confirmation, then got an email on the 6th: Thanks for ordering from The Carphone Warehouse. The item you ordered is out of stock at the moment. Because of this your order won't arrive on time, but we are expecting new stock to arrive in the next few days. We're very sorry for any problems this causes. Don't really want to order direct from Orange because they only seem to be able to deliver to the cardholder address, and I need it delivered to work. I had my first one ordered from Orange however and it came pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SteveK88 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hi All! Have you heared that there is a version of blade with 256 MB RAM? Is that true? Because in my home country (Hungary) all I can see is that it has 256 MB built in ram. Thanks! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SteveK88 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Yeah thats unfortunate, but yes its true :P Thank's for the quick reply. By the way is it fast enough with 256 MB of RAM? Because the comtiva z71 has 256mb ram too, and it performs quite well and I want to buy a Blade today and I don't want to buy a phone which performs bad. Regards.

Guest jttj Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Yeah thats unfortunate, but yes its true ;) Whooah, I missed that one! Are the new TFT units all 256MB or are they 512MB? If so, I somehow need to get out to the Orange shop fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jttj Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Just seen this thread; hopefully it is correct in saying that the new UK TFT version is 512MB. http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...-on-the-market/ If a mod is passing by it might be a good idea to sticky the above; undoubtedly there'll be a load of questions on this (pretty confusing) matter!

Guest Hanks6 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 to me the TFT is just awful when compared compared to LED ;) the sharper text is no compensation for the clarity and vibrancy offered by deep contrast. if i can find what i think is one tommorow in a store i will post some pics up here. potentially need to buy 3! fat chance of finding that many methinks :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my first one ordered from Orange however and it came pretty quickly. I've just phoned Carphone Warehouse and they tell me that, although the card has been charged, the transaction has not been fully processed as they are out of stock - new stock in 7-10 days. Needless to say, I've cancelled the order and I'm now waiting for them to process a refund. Looks like any hopes of an OLED screen have now been dashed and I'll contact Orange to order one at the cheaper price. Hmmm. May give my local Orange store a call to see if they are offering the same deal in shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simon O Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 These are LCD screened and not OLED now. ZTE are unable to get enough OLED screens from Samsung to cope with demand so they switched over to the LCD. All white phones and new stock of grey are TFT with the same resolution, slightly better pixel density and improved touch controller. Still worth buying.

Guest Hanks6 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) btw i found out the orange online store draws on a different stockpile to telesales!!!....so phone 08000792000 to order it now! still in-stock, i just ordered 3. you obviously cannot use quidco over the phone, but it's still £94 inc the £10 top-up.

Guest gambieter Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 The watches feel cheap and nasty, the phone sock is the only thing worth keeping. ;) P Not even that. I made the 14y old daughter from a friend very happy with the sock, as she got a SF and the sock for the Dutch Sinterklaas celebration (our version of secret Santa) :P I am using a fake leather pouch costing £2 but working like a treat!
