They are £200 atm but i've seen them a bit cheaper on e-bay. Same screen as the pulse but way better internals and it's getting an official gingerbread update this month.

Guest jeddy1 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 yeah out of my price range aswell :\ think ill end up getting a blade after my exams blade is a cool phone but just one thing! after u get blade then u will see so many threads which maybe will make u to buy another phone but u will not have more money to buy it so better stick one,two or 3 months more with the pulse and save some money.the other phones which are now little bit expensive will be lower in price and u can find a good deal of buying a nice phone which may also be an ARMv7 processor 800mhz+.think about it!

It is only running 2.1, by Summer, 2.3 ROM will be release. I pickup a good condition used copy, added custom ROM 2.2 CM6 2.1.3, very fast and nice in deep. 100% Flash support, native App2SD, fully functional 8MP camera + HD video. cheer.

I think waiting for price of the current ARMv7 phones to drop as dual core comes in (or alternatively waiting to save up some more cash) may be best ... I've said this before but with Flash and Firefox there's been a start of (serious) devlelopers dropping support for ARMv6 phones - the high-end phones are all going to be ARMv7 so they clearly see its not worth compromising their apps by using a subset of what the CPUs in them are capable of. Personally I see a blade as very much a side-ways move from the Pulse - ok, its a bit better (more RAM, better screen) but fundamentally I can see in 6 months time that you'll start to think you need to switch to a phone with a v7 CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest de_shepherd Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 hmmm ok i'll take your advice on this one :\ Saw today that carphonewarwhouse are selling the Ideos X5 for £170 SIM-free ... this apparently has the same CPU/graphics as the Desire Z/HD so looks "interesting". However, its another Huawei phone which seems to be putting some ex-Pulse owners off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
