CIDotW - ZTE V970

[Guest Holehouse]

Can someone who has the phone tell me if it has an FM radio?

Thanks

@jimac: Note that I've only had the phone for less than a week and that I am currently running it on only one SIM.

Battery seems to be on par with most modern smartphones that does not have obscenely huge batteries, meaning that you have to charge it every night with a moderate to heavy usage. If you use it very little I guess it could go up to 1½-2 days but that'd mean very sparse usage.

I've not had any issues so far with the GPS but admittedly I've only used it 3-4 times so far. It seems accurate and has a reasonably quick lock.

@Holehouse: It does. I haven't tested it yet though.

UPDATE - There are a few custom ROMs now, the Jellybean ROM on XDA is fantastic.

All things considered, the phone is great.

There are two things that really bother me though.

That silver bezel is painted on and easily damaged. Mine is looking quite tatty now.

The "textured" back is also fairly easily marked.

Other than that, it is a fantastic bit of kit for the money!

Now waiting for my next bargain Chinese purchases of and Umi x2 and Pipo M9 Max (3G version) to be dispatched!

Also considering a Cube U30GT2 - but will wait for some reviews before ordering as I'm concerned about the screen quality and how the Mali400 copes with the resolution.
