@fcpoker Not heard of the Liquid E until you mentioned it. Looks like the same screen but better camera and CPU. Design looks a bit cheap and plasticky.
I have the Orange San Francisco and think it's great.
Hi, I'm planning to get this phone can you tell me how much the internet would cost on pay as you go on a normal basis? Like for going on facebook and that. It seems like a pretty good phone but is the internet expensive?
@kingharry14 the answer ist definitiv YES! It has a solid outfit and gives a smooth feeling with the Applications. It is not as gut as IPhone, but for such Preis 130Euro it is more worthy than the products with same price from HTC, Blackberry, Samsun个 and Co.
Drei meiner Kommilitonen haben jeder eins aus Frankreich gekauft (da in Deutschland noch nicht erhältlich) für 130 Euro und mit 30 Handy-Gutschein! Das ist wahnsinnlich!!!Einfach fantastisch für einen unglaubigen Preis!
ZTE wird wohl die Android-Legend von HTC weiter leiten...
i've got this phone, it's amazing! i've yet to find something about it that i'm not happy with, it runs smoothly and everything! i would recommend this to everyone without a doubt! i've showed it to all my mates who have a variety of other smart android phones such as nexus 1, htc desire and wildfire. they all said to me they very much like my phone to theirs and said they'd consider in the future buying one!
@TheAbds2000 you really should. I got one yesterday and it is amazing. Just make sure to install android 2.2 when you get it ( you need to root it ) I use the japanese jellyfish android 2.2 rom
ive got the tft version of the san fran im not to bothered though ive seen the amoled version there isnt much diffrence tbh.The amoled screen is a bit darker and the colours are a bit more bright but thats it i love it
One question that i have been wanting to ask. You have shown that the San Franciso has a USB cable & headphone & 2GB. Will that have it in the box if you don't get it from an official orange shop. I'm only asking because i might be getting one and i might be getting it from carphone warehouse. So i wanted to know that information before i go there and get the phone.
The back button flashes when you have a new message or a notification.
Also the bar at the top with the wifi connection strength and battery life and such on; when you have a new message or notifacation, drag that bar down and it will list your messages and notifications. :)
OSF no longer do AMOLED screens, but TFT ones instead. Is it still worth getting this as most reviews say the major selling point for the price is the screen?
@mistryr3 Yeah its still worth buying! the phone is great, and once you have froyo running on it its amazing. The OLED screen is pretty damn good but i have heard that the tft version is still good, major difference being colour!
mr white i had the same prob with that on the zte racer you have to go into the sync settings for your google account once you sync it it should let you download the apps from the android market it wouldnt let me download them ether but as soon as i syncd my google account settings it lets you download
hey if i get the san fran unlocked on 3 would i be able to use network internet and send messages or would i have to get the internet settings from orange changed to network 3 just a question would like to know thanks
i use a desire and my friend bought one of these. we were all really schoked by its screen build and price. really really good. they arent very snappy but they are a bargain. phones like this will make a big difference in the android market
the san fran like the zte racer doesnt support flash so you cant watch bbc i player how ever there is a way around this to watch it for free the android market has an app called my player it lets you stream bbc i whitch is a bonus
i have the zte racer its exactley the same as the san fran on a smaller scale very cool budget phones though i think they will kill the i phone and the htc they do exactley the same as these smart phones at half the price keep it up zte
not a bad little phone for 100squid! not bad at all. i own an iphone 4 but this san fran jobbie would make an ideal standby phone just incase. must admit, was half expecting it to be shite as so many budget phones usually are. think come paypay next week i shall be grabbing one of these. at a 100 it'd be rude not to!
.. very nice phone.
