I saw
As its TFT, I think I will wait for the Swiss one to go up on eBay
MailForwarding is too much hassle

+1 anyway

Put mine on ebay. The N8 is good enough. I'll no doubt get another Android device. Something with better hardware though.

ZTE Blade is available locked to Orange UK for £110 (€140), it runs 2.1 w/ Orange crap, and ZTE are making Froyo for it (leaked alphas available)
Most of the specs are excellent for the price - except it's just 600mhz - and camera is 3.2mp of crap
On 2.1 it gets 400, while on 2.2 it gets 700
Hopefully a stable kernel OC @ 800mhz will be available soon


Paul, Admin of MoDaCo, has really brought life to this phone and has made a nice review

Unfortunately for me, in 1916 communist terrorists revolted against the UK and we are no longer part of it so the issues are:
ZTE has crappy product control, and I will need to be able to return phone to shop to get a replacement
Orange UK is, you guessed it [!] only in the UK, fortunately for me the UK still control a bit of my country
Unfortunately, I live as far as possible away from Northern Ireland as you can and still have a bus service, and its seven hours to NI
I think I will try to convince my parents to Christmas shop in NI.

Thoughts?

The phone is not that bad guys.. Only just because it has a 600Mhz Processor and 3.2 MP Camera doesn't ruin the phone! Use a real camera for photos if you don't want a 3.2MP, And shadow, The Specs are pretty amazing for a phone at it's price, Hope for you to get it soon and Join as in the fun side! Android!
