ok so it looks worse in design, has the same type of shitty processor but a little faster and probably has the same gpu. Camera is better and has a front facing one thats probably awful. cant run flash so basically only thing better about this is the camera assuming you unlocked and put on a clean rom on the first san francisco as you could overclock it to around 710mhz so 800 isnt really that much more
@tubemonkey2000 okay your statement is pointless, u can overclock this phone to 1ghz :P. I had a htc and broke it got this phone and it is realy not that bad :P
i just bought this phone and it is very good, i lost my htc desire s and bought this as a replacement i thought it would never be as good as it but it is very good and i am very pleased, it doent feel like a cheep phone it feels like a smart phone, the screen looks very nice and it runs very fast. I personally overclocked my phone to 1ghz but it is good even if u dont do this. I would highly recomend this phone :D
@samipakiboi Flash has been available for ARMv6 for awhile. Unofficially of course, but it works great, even with sites like TeamCoco. You just have to search for it.
So basically the same as the original San Francisco (ZTE Blade) but with Android 2.3, an 800MHz processor instead of 600. 5MP camera instead of 3.2. Shame the original and this are really decent phones until Orange murders them with their custom UI and Bloatware..... Still, heaven for all the rooters though.
just an update that orange couldnt do for the orange sanfrancisco whats the point its only got an 800mhz processer and still the same screen as the sanfran
processer is just the same as the sanfrancisco no flash just 800mhz.Doubt you can unlock it ether like the sanfrancisco the monte carlo didnt sell because you couldnt unlock it
@GadgetGuru32 The faster processor is the only difference?... Errr the original SanFran had a 3.2mp cam this one has a 5mp cam, so there's another difference. Oh, and a different version of Android is on this one... so yet another difference from the first one.
is it multi touch?

it says on the website you can access bbc iplayer so does it mean the processor supports flash?? (ARMv7 or ARMv6???)

San Francisco II or Vivacity?? In my opinion looks better the vivacity but I read some problems about the virtual keyboard.

Come on ZTE, don't gimp out on the CPU! Move AWAY from ARMv6 and update! You did the same with the Skate too!
Things have moved forward from the old days and im pretty sure that an updated single ARM cortex CPU is quite inexpensive to manufacture :/

I can't WAIT to get a custom ROM on this and get rid of the awful stock ROM this phone no doubt will have when I get it.

The camera (photo and video) was the weak point of the ZTE Blade/San Francisco by far.
It will be interesting to see if they've improved these on the ZTE Crescent/San Francisco II when the reviews begin to roll in.
kingmustard 3 months ago
Be warned buyers this is exactly the same as the San Francisco 1, except with a 200mhz faster CPU. That is the only difference.
