If you instal the app `launcher pro` from the android market, it wil go much faster than the custom interface that comes out of the box, its changes the interface of the phone a little bit though.
There is no easy answer there. You get good value for money with the Skate, the Ace has been hugely popular but specs will decide the Skate is one of the best specs wise. Optimus 7...isnt that Windows...the others are Android options.
@Blackjack1908 It is ok, its not as great/fluid as some of the more expensive devices but for the price the screen performance is more than acceptable.
@aknor1981 the os system is locked to orange you idiot you cant unlock it like the blade when you take the sim card out and put in another one from a diff network it doesnt prompt the unlock code dont listen to BS yourself you cant unlock oranges phones now at all they are all locked to their network thats why the mc didnt sell at all the sanfrancisco 2 thats just come out is locked to orange aswell so get your facts right
@cod4ghost123 We havent used the score but looking at the specs, the Skate has the bigger display and the faster processor so pretty safe to say that unless size is an issue the skate is the better of the two.
@ImmahCollegeGirl123 ZTE is the manufacturer of this phone. They are the 5th biggest phone manufacturer in the world. They are huge in ASIA but have begun bringing products to Europe.
@superpiff420 ya man it has low end cpu and fore the screen size it should be atlist 1ghz or dual core ....which i dont think cheap chinees will provide...what u say ?
Gave this a good review when i bought, it i bought it september and by October it had become faulty, not charging and apps re-routed me, clicking on youtube could take you to contacts or something, anyway i have had this one nearly two weeks and i am equally disappointed, it is very slow, video playback is ok, and the camers isn't too bad, but except for that, it is terrible, i do not recommend.
Cheap Processor, everybody keeps saying its the live desktop, if that is the case all androids would would be the same way, it is a very cheap phone. Before you buy do your research. Most good Android phones with a decent processor, will not have the same issue. ZTE is a chinese based company that is new to the cell phone scene. Stick with the names you can trust.
@hermant1993 just checked told you it has a crappy 800mhz processer its been shipped to orange under their name for it its called the orange monte carlo (180)/200pounds expected launch price
@hermant ive seen it duh its got an 800mhz processer even orange have given the specs on their site read the facts! its going to be 180pounds if it had a 1ghz processer it wouldnt be 180pounds they would be sellin it for 300plus pounds zte are all abt keeping the costs down the skate is just a poor upgrade from the blade/sanfrancisco there isnt no point in them launching it.The screen is terrible and when you turn it sideways the qwerty keypad is so small you cant type with it its rubbish
@DitzyDom no it hasnt its got a crappy 800mhz processer where did you hear that rubbish its a budget phone if they put a 1ghz processer inside it they wouldnt be selling it for 180pounds it would be in the 300/400pound price range i think you mean their tablet thats just a giant sanfrancisco thats crap aswell
@neostar123 no it has no flash player its just a poor upgrade to the brilliant sanfrancisco/zte blade it cant handle the 2.3 android software its got a crappy low rez screen unlike the san fran thats amoled/tft its plastic the molding case they have used is crap you can bag a san fran for 70quid and they expect you to pay 180quid with the same features as the sanfran/blade with a meesley 800mhz processer its a complete waste of money the zte company have fucked up with this horrid replacement
its rubbish dont bother with it orange have got their mits on it again its named the orange monte carlo with their bloat ware again it wont ever be updated further than 2.3 just like the brilliant san francisco. This phone is crap its only got a 800mhz processer and no hd no flash player its laggy and the 5.1 mega pixel cam is no better than the san fran no point to them realising it waste of time
@CloveTechnology are u going to ceat youself for having zte the cheap copy of htc and samsung....no man
just go with the quality or get diasapointment see the review of sad zte users thats eeverywhere problem battery backup speed related and sar value and connectivity isant so good....
ya man it has low end cpu and fore the screen size it should be atlist 1ghz or dual core ....which i dont think cheap chinees will provide...what u say ?
@Tillaz87 Yes we could - lots of things we could have shown however on pre-production units we do not like to give un-fair reviews so we like to wait until we have the final production units before doing somehting like this.
@CloveTechnology fair point. so anyway wot is the camera like with the flash? also wot realoution dose the video recored in? if you dont mind me asaking? also you said Q4 release is this phone not coming july any more?
