Guest meinnit Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Interesting developments on the ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco) over on this thread.. http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...s-i-go-in-here/ Spec wise this phone kills the Pulse and at £99 it's a steal! Get donating so that Fib can buy one and start developing FLB for it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 The specs are incredible for such a low price. 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 CPU 3.5" Capacitive 480x800 AMOLED screen with multitouch 424MB RAM 150MB internal storage free (200MB data partition, 50MB in use) 200MB system partition 40MB cache partition Easily rooted with Universal Androroot Paul found fastboot :lol: Custom recovery image in the works Full kernel source already out! Linpack 3.75 Quandrant 385 It's just.. wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rjm2k Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 might defect from the pulse world for one of those, can they be unlocked from orange yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daz555 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 If I was buying a cheap Droid now I would go for that certainly. Not enough for me to bother upgrading though - Pulse was my intro into Android and its great but my next phone will be at the top end spec wise.

Guest Daz555 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Blimey, glad this phone did not get released any earlier or I reckon the Pulse would have been abandoned long ago from a development perspective. Thankfully it looks like Pulse is just going to manage to get a very good 2.1 ROM, swap, overclock and multitouch - just in time before everyone jumps ship and legs it! To those that go for a Blade - good luck with it. Looks a decent bit of kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest darkdevil1 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) Ehhh, yes we do have. My provider on my Provider list states: T-Mobile Orange We used to have Orange but then they merged with this and that and now they don't exist any more as a separate provider. Merged with T-Mobile I believe Either way, I don't think we can get them over here... if someone sees them in a UK shop that ships internationally, please do link me :lol: Edited September 23, 2010 by darkdevil1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thisweb Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Woooh hold on boys and girls...has anyone checked what the internet tarrif is yet?? 6 months access for £20 on T-mobile, can it beat that, I bet it doesnt. I guess if its unlockable then it doesn't matter but I bet orange are all over locking it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tabor56 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I sold my Pulse for £70 yesterday so definitely worth doing to get this. Only thing holding me back is the lack of unlock at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Azurren Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Wish I had bought my pulse as a PAYG phone and not a stupid 24 month contract >_< Well..

Not enough for me to bother upgrading though - Pulse was my intro into Android and its great but my next phone will be at the top end spec wise. +1 Since I got my entry level Android with the Pulse, and I'm pretty satisfied with it now, I wouldn't go for another one that would be obsolete in a 3 to 4 month period :lol: Looking as there has been a year since the Pulse launched it's not that big of a progress. Cheers though, good luck for the guys getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flip360 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) I cant say that this is the pulse killer, more like pulse`s bigger matured brother :) As igor said the pulse is one year old now so you cannot compare it to a phone thats been out no more than a month. Sure it has some more memory and a higher res screen but it must have those specs now because it would be lost in the oncoming 1.5GHz and dual core smartphone madness. After the pulse i would go to a much higher spec phone than this one, sure looks nice and cheap enough though. :lol: Edited September 23, 2010 by flip360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets forget that memory was the biggest problem with the pulse :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
