mine's coming

just hope it doesn't decide to die a premature death... then i'll have trouble claiming warranty for it!

i doubt many LYNners will go for this unless they can see the phone in the flesh first.

ANyhow I might sell off mine if I don't like Android

LOL! I have not used Android before but from what I can see after playing with it for awhile, it's great for customization and very fun to mess around with (rooting). Compared to iOS, iOS is super boring. But what I like about my iPhone is that I can buy a 16gb or 32gb phone and it works out of the box. No need to root/wipe out/etc and no need to splash extra cash for another microSD for space. My 32gb is filled already with music and apps... i don't think I'd like to spend an extra 300 for a fast 32gb microSD in addition to a 2K phone like the xperia Arc...

anyhow that's my gripe about android. Other than that, I'm liking the way you can customize the homescreen and the multitude of ROMs to choose from.

I must say, this Orange San Fran has a HUGE following over at Modaco and the number of custom ROMs it has really makes it a superb buy for you to mess around.

yeah! love the show!

btw, the wiki for the San Fran is real good - http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/ZTE_Blade

Ur from Sarawak? Going back to vote?

icic... better make sure all your 21 and above friends vote, and make the right choice!

sounds good! this saturday we'll see if Sarawak is finally free!

anyway, back to topic, i'll post photos and a review once i get my SF

wow so few interested w this phone

Should post more pics on 1st post. Hehe

Yup... It's a good example of how much you can put in a phone and yet price it so cheap... Makes you feel ripped off by HtC, and the othe companies...

Played with the SE Arc today... Damn it's sexy

what's going for 699? ZTE Blade? here in Malaysia?

root it and install Swedish Spring ROM on it... no regrets

hi andy,

i get my ROMs from Modaco.

is there an official gingerbread ROM for the Blade?

oh ic... well the CM7 gingerbread ROM isn't stable at all. I'm using Swedish Spring for now. Very happy with it and don't plan to change anytime soon

which CM7 build are u using

I flashed my gen1 OSF to Gen2 and flashed Ginger Stir Fry onto it. So far so good. Much smoother than my Swedish spring, partly coz I created ext2 partition on my sdcard so that gave me 250mb free internal memory straightaway!

How big is Ur card? I just made a 1gb partition. Saves a lot of trouble

4gb is plenty enough unless u whack in alot of music and videos. I've got a 16gb which is not enough for my music... but then again the OSF isn't a phone to listen to music to.

how's the SGS2? any great custom roms on that phone yet? just abit fedup with my OSF's camera

Reroot it again, then follow the steps here - http://sanfranciscoandroid.co.uk/android/h...isco-zte-blade/

Usually from 8am to 12am, I will still hv 10% left. Edge data on all the time, about 50 mins of calls, quite a lot of SMS and whatsapp.

If not much calls or SMS, the phone can last 1.5 days...

Tempted to upgrade n sell my osf
