Guest the_fox Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 ZTE Blade is for sale in Belgium since yesterday. Available via Mobistar (Service Provider) for €150, normally SIMlock free (gonna check when I find one later today). They sell them as "San Francisco" but aren't branded with the Orange logo, they also don't feature the crap Orange software. According to the Mobistar site they are the AMOLED version. Link to the Mobistar website (Dutch, you can switch to french in the top right corner, no english :D) I'll keep you guys posted since I'm picking one up later today (if I find a store that has 'em in stock). Just got one, it's the TFT version (grey Blade). But that was to be expected. On a first glance: It's the Orange San Francisco front (San Francisco instead of ZTE), normal Blade back (no orange logo on the back cover) Firmware version 2.1-update1, without Orange crap pre-installed, only thing that looks non-ZTE stock is the homepage, wich is the Mobistar site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nizeazz Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi guys, maybe I'm late with the information, but for all folks that come to Switzerland: Orange.ch sells the SanFran with 10,- CHF prepaid for a total of CHF 129,- in every Orange-Shop. (It's SIM-locked :D ) BB Hi blümchen, Do I get the phone in the shop immediately and can I buy more than one? If I don't unlock it, can I use it with an austrian orange sim-card? Danke für den tipp, ist es hier erlaubt auf andere sprachen außer englisch zu schreiben? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered two from a swiss I know, and he`s going to send it to me. Unlock codes works normally to unlock the sim, yea? Plus the same question, how many can you order and are they still in stock? Thanks for your answers in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ty_hot Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Just ordered my SanFran on eBay UK :D Hope it gets here in brazil soon! Paid 145 with shipping for it ^^ Much more than you pay in there, but still a great deal compared to Brazilian phones (a Samsung Galaxy 5 costs almost twice that lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest todoleo Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Do you mean you have bought it in the store not online, am I right? Why do you have to spend 30 pounds on groceries :D I have a friend who wants 3, can he buy them at once? You get the discount for one phone per £30 grocery shopping transaction (and clubcard points too!). You would have to have three separate grocery transactions of £30 to get the discount on 3 phones. The staff stamp the receipts to say you have already claimed the discount for that transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest the_fox Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 People should stop wondering whether they can buy a new OLED model. It just does not exisit. It's partly the fault of Mobistar in Belgium, since they advertise 'em all with AMOLED on the box. But no, they are all TFT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simonsays1 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Do Orange still give the discount which makes the phone £79.99 in total ? Argos seems to have put their price up to £99 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest menno2 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I succeeded buying it abroad through amazon.co.uk and www.alfasent.com supplier is ADVERTISING SPAM! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest viralbug Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 ^ Hey, did you receive your shipment? I thought ADVERTISING SPAM didn't ship to mail forwarding addresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bonbergol Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Seems strange how did you do that without a UK Billing adress? Alphasent only provide the shipping address? do you have an UK Credit card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest varkey Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 ^ Hey, did you receive your shipment? I thought ADVERTISING SPAM didn't ship to mail forwarding addresses. ADVERTISING SPAM and most online stores has a limit of 2 phones per address every 6 months. So if no one had used Alfasent for purchasing PAYG phones from ADVERTISING SPAM in the last 6 months it would go through fine. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DVDeus Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM ADVERTISING SPAM! Please put this in the first post! F*cking jokers! Ordered two of them, one came with volume buttons pressed down somehow, and the other one has microSD card failure. My friend also got it last week, and the back button is faulty, you have to put a lot of pressure to actually go back. They are just lucky I am not from UK, otherwise it would be a massacre. What a bunch of ignorants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bunch of ignorants! Can't agree there. I have a mate in the UK, he ordered two from ADVERTISING SPAM, they came fast and were OK. I think it's ZTE fault who's quality control is not the best as we all know. He has also ordered two white ones from play (they still were 99 pounds) and they were fast too, no problems. @Blackmask - what kind of SIM was that? An older one? With much activity on it?

Guest Roph Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Orange SIMs FREE - no need to payout to scammers on ebay :D Yes, but to get the existing customer discount you have to have a history with orange. You can't just order a free sim, activate it and then be eligible for existing customer discounts. I'm guessing this is what Blackmask did, or he just got lucky with the sales rep not bothering to check B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
