Guest keevre Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 Well, my Blade is broken anyway... guess they release this quickly and I'll get one instead of a new lense for my camera
Guest popoyaya Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 The only disadvantage for me is 4.3'' screen (I prefer range 3.5-4.0'' rather then bigger ones). Totally disagree! Have you actually used a phone with a 4.3" screen? So much easier to read, type & browse. My next phone will have a big screen, & no going back! The Samsung Note is another matter though, that's just ridiculous.

My Blade looked like a microbe :D Maybe I loved because it has 3x the processing power than Blade lol.
Guest shmizan Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 will never buy a ZTE phone again.. bad quality (speaker got badword after 4 months!), awful sources for devs. as unfortunate as it may sound it's better to have a better build phone with good sources from company like Samsung than to be sorry..
Guest Weezle Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 I bought my Blade mostly because of the screen size, and have to say that I am happy with the performance (new ROM and CPU overclock later), hopefully the next gen handsets will be competitively priced to compete with other "prestige" brands such as Samsung which would be more recognisable to "the average Joe" - failing to get the price right will lose a lot of potential sales. As for Orange, I dare say they will pad the ROM out with enough junk to semi-cripple the processor and yes, it will undoubtedly be given a new name to make it look more exclusive. My main concern is that the list of fashionable city names is rapidly dwindling and if we are not careful we will end up walking down the road with a Skegness in our pockets....

Lol or prepare for the prestige of the new Orange Bognor Regis!!
Guest Davidoff59 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Posted February 25, 2012 Orange may not get these phones.
Guest JudasLucifer Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Do we reckon this is the Quad-Core Era? (Which according to Techradar, is the "HTC Era" (but still manufactured by Zte, of course). I think that will be more like £300 :P
Guest deksman2 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Yeah, that's possible given that it's Tegra 3 and all... But if ZTE wants to present itself as a proper competition, then they would have to lower the prices so that they would be a more attractive option compared to the others. If all those phones would be prices within the same range, then there's no point.
Guest Maringer Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I wonder how much of a deal Intel will give Orange for this one? http://www.anandtech.com/show/5578/orange-to-sell-cobranded-intel-smartphone-reference-design-directly-to-customers-codename-santa-clara Intel are looking to work their way into smartphones/tablets and I can see them selling this device off cheaply to gain market share. It will be interesting to see how battery life and software support will be with the new Atom-based SoCs.
Guest ablackswan Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 what we should expect from zte a few months ZTE Era, ZTE pf112HD, ZTE mimosa X
Guest Maringer Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Intel have announced a partnership with ZTE: http://www.anandtech...ships-announced Hmmm. Perhaps we will see ZTE in an Orange phone once again? I wonder if ZTE will be manufacturing the Intel reference design which Orange have already announced they will sell under their own brand? Would make some sense. No use to Blade users, of course, as it is a different architecture so there won't be any spillover from the ROMs, but I wonder if this will become the next great-value Orange phone? If so, let's hope it is as hackable as the Blade/SF! Edited March 1, 2012 by Maringer
Guest Maxsas360 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 Seems that Intel phones will be our best budget buy next year. Everyone makes new products cheap, so therse will be buyers. I am waiting for Orange Santa Carla and If it will cost in a 100£ range, this will be a bomb.
Guest weeo Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 This looks good http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_era-4581.php
Guest Maxsas360 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 This looks good http://www.gsmarena....te_era-4581.php This will be in the sub premium price class... If it was a budget phone, then I would buy it ASAP.
