Well spotted furrabbit.nh!

I love this Shanzhai stuff

It does look a bit poxy with the low res screen and sloow processor, but it has some neat features that are very popular in The East and rather rare in this Network driven mobile economy we swim in, principally the dual sim feature, front and rear cameras, also bigger battery at 1600mAh (would be interested to see if cells for this fit the blade) and the idea of analogue tv on your phone has always fascinated me (just in time for our analogue signal to be turned off to make room for more mobile spectrum) - they've been into it for yonks in Japan and China but it's always been kinda niche this end of the world

Here's a bit of trivia on the "dual core" processor making this little thingummy hum http://forum.xda-dev..._Clones_MTK6516

It claims to have

-Core CPU ARM 9 416MHz -GPU ARM 7 208MHz

but xda reinterprets that thus:

Often advertised as dual core, but this is misleading, the 2nd core runs the radio and will not be usable for applications. In fact, any proper smartphone has a separate smaller core for the GSM radio, so real dual core phones in fact have 3 coresOften advertised as 460MHz, but this is an often repeated misunderstanding: fourhundredsixty vs fourhundredsixteen. Similarly 280MHz is probably constructed from 208 BogoMIPS that Android reports for the 416MHz CPU, or otherwise from the idea that the Radio/Modem core runs on 208MHz (it runs on 104MHz, see design doc above)

EDIT - got carried away there and forgot to say how groovy it is to see ZTE rolling out so many different configurations of devices at the mo - shame there's gonna be so much confusion of course, but I do like something about the thought of so many billions of these funny shaped little phones all round the world
