Getting a ZTE Blade

[Guest i am not a hacker]

Got a few questions about the phone before gettting it. I have a t-mobile pulse and can swap it for Blade.

Can you buy a Blade on t-mobile or does it require being unlocked?

Is their an official 2.2 or android 2.3 version?

If their isn't an official one, which stable android version is there, 2.2 or 2.3?

Is their enough internal storage or shall i get A2SD or SWAP?

Thanks for answering :huh:

Do you mean use it on t-mobile? they can only be bought on orange unless you import one? However they can be unlocked for free! using code generators on this site, so unlocking is no problem whatsoever :huh:

There is an official 2.2 rom, shipped with the (japenese or chinese) devices which Sebastians decrossed 2.2 rom is based on. However I dont think you can get the compeltely stock official 2.2

There is no official or stable 2.3 rom for the blade, however cyanogen are working on creating us a custom version, its already in beta, but lots of bugs currently.

Bare in mind there are also plenty of other 2.2 and 2.1 roms available, nearly all of the 2.1 and 2.2's are stable these days, even if they aren't based on an original rom (you can thank this sites wonderful developers for that!).

As for app2sd, if you are using a 2.2 rom, i recommend it, and you should have enough space for moderate amount of apps, if not you can repartition the internal memory to give you more room for data (applications).

thx for that. Can you tell me which is the best 2.2 ROM? Cyanogen have done a 2.3 ROM though. I preferably want an overclockable ROM. THX FOR YOUR HELP

Seb's 2.2 ROMs are good, they are very clean and are as close to stock android as your going to get :huh:

You can then install the apps you want too!

Have a look:

If you reread my post I did say that cyanogen have done a 2.3 rom, its just really unstable at the moment, but there is lots of development working going on, it may be stable surprisingly soon.

Sebs 2.2 is probably the most stable, however it don't think it has overclocking enabled.

Japanese Jellyfish 2.2 rom is very stable with overclock and hardware acceleration available.

Have a look at all the roms

And use the table to compare the different features they all offer.
