Is that a TFT model? Interesting that they have an article suggesting that they'll get an official 2.2 in the "new year".

Those pictures look like a Blade torture chamber. :)

Perhaps "ZTE Blade Autopsy" would be a more appropriate header! :)

Shame they didn't post any closeups from what I can see

Yes! That's a TFT model sold exclusively from WIND in Greece, as ZTE Blade.

According to WIND, there will be an official Android 2.2 upgrade for ZTE Blade in the next couple of months. :)

They're called "pry tools", or more generally "snap case openers". That specific one is a "guitar paddle".

It's a guitar pick - buy a few "weights" and you can easily open clip on cases etc...

Don't think I will be brave enough to do that to my phone :)

Always the fear, like he had for a second there, that if I took it apart it wouldn't work again :)

I was wondering whether there was enough RF shielding in this phone because interference can be heard through the headphone jack, I was wondering if I could either replace the headphone jack or shield the area more (on the back) to fix it.

Yep interesting pics in a fairly ropey review.

[Guest simonsays1]

I've always wondered what it looks like inside. The second review is a little rough, but the photos are interesting.
