Next model up?

[Guest UKtechhead]

I bought a San Francisco (ZTE Blade) Wayy back in October last year - 7 months ago! I paid £99 + top up.

Everything about the blade is great. Any slightly better handsets out or coming? Don't mention the skate!

What sort of budget do you have?

[Guest Azurren]

The next "budget" upgrade from the Blade is the Motorola Defy

ARM 7, Flash

Although you can get some second hand HTC desires / Galaxy S's for around the same price :unsure:

Don't mention the skate!

But that is the next model up

Well if it has an ARM6 processor it is more of a sidestep for a bigger screen :unsure:

Yes its clocked higher but it shouldn't make much of a difference

I saw your message - the went onto Gumtree and found a Motorola Defy. Got on the train and bought it. It's a great little phone!

Thanks! And since it was only a few months old, and I paid almost the same price as a new Blade, I'm pretty happy too. :)

I thought Motorola locked their bootloaders?

Might sell it on then soon if that's the case. But for now I am happy. :unsure:

PS. Also... by the way... the speakers on this phone are amazing! Way better than the Blade. And the camera is much more responsive. All round the whole thing is a joy to use. Feels like an upgrade for sure!

Wow you work fast :)

Apparently there is quite a good dev community behind it and the Cyanogen me 7 port isn't far off.

Huawei Ideos x5 came out recently, by the looks of the specs they are almost the same as those of Desire Z, the chip is the same anyway, and I think it shouldn't be too expensive. But its a Huawei, so I wouldn't take it without warranty.
