Gingerbread on a ZTE U880 (with market and rooted)

[Guest InTheater]

would that be possible ?

I am searching but seem nobody is using this device so much

I found the expecs quite interesting, but undoubtedly I would like to root it and upgrade to Gingerbread (market included)

has anybody done that ?

because, the processor is not a MK65673 (I read somewhere it should be far better), isn't it ?

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/zte-u880-blade-3-5-capacitive-screen-android-2-2-single-sim-quad-network-w-wifi-white-101741

is that a good deal ? / recommended place ?

thanks a lot.

The processor is from Marvell at 800 MHz. It is a TD-SCDMA/GSM phone.

Thanks for response,

so, the processor is better than the MTK6573, isn't it?

why you point "TD-SCDMA/GSM" ? will not work the 3G in Spain?

what about rooting, upgrade to 2.3 ??

I don't really know if the CPU in U880 is better than MTK6573, maybe it is better, what I know is that MTK6573 is better than MSM7227 in performance as some tests show. I think 3G in Spain is the more common WCDMA, which is different from TD-SCDMA. TD-SCDMA is only supported by China Mobile as far as I know. So you can use the 2G(GSM) service with no problem but 3G is incompatible.

Rooting and the gingerbread update is possible because there are leaked 2.3.7 roms circulating in some forums in China. I think there will be an official version of gingerbread in the future.
