Just bought an ZTE Blade for £40!

[Guest Dezire]

I was walking past my local backstreet phone store and spotted a near mint Orange San Fransisco (black OLED) for £65.00! I had my old Nokia 6300 on me and was offered £25.00 trade-in! So I ended up buying the the phone for £40.00! I could not believe my luck! They are like gold dust round here...Argos has been contantly out of stock and I was going to wait until they became cheaper and more available! I upgraded the ROM to Froyo 2.2 as it still had the horrible Orange stock ROM loaded (probably the reason why someone sold it!)

Chuffed!

Strange your local Argos have no stock because the 3 local to me in Bristol have had loads of them since they put the price up to £109 + top up last month.

I have also noticed that the Argos stores local to me tend to have stock of the white and even the grey San Fran since they increased the price. When I bought mine I ended up with a B08 white as there were no grey ones to be found. A while later my wife managed to grab a B10 grey model, but she will not swap.!

I think that the TFT blades are more than satisfactory so why not get your recently bought OLED blade onto eBay and sell it. If it is in as good a condition as you say it is then flash a 2.2/2.3 ROM onto and sell it. No reason why you couldn't get in excess of £100 GDP for it. Then buy yourself a brand new TFT blade from orange for £75 and make yourself a quick profit.

TFT is awesome, OLED is not true pixels, and color are fake! ahah!

do you think blade price will go down when skate will be out?

[Guest Tom Kitchen]

For the price that they are going on ebay he could keep the awesome OLED blade, but a £75 orange one, load a 2.3 rom onto it and unlock it, then sell it on ebay for a profit.

Even So once the skate comes out there is little point buying a blade.

Technology moves quickly.

Well: The n1 stayed one of the best phones until the dual cores came out, more recently..

But even then its still a great phone.
