Hi Mates,
So finally I have sold my dearest willy to one of my best friend. He was just amazed by the performance from last couple of months and he eagerly give me a proposal to sell the mobile to him and after a long thinking of 2-3 days I have decided to give it to him.
But my friends its very true I was feeling very uneasy while giving it.
So now as I haven't got a very smart price but an affordable resell value just because the making of HTC devices. My phone looks new after a harsh use of 10 months.
Now I am looking for a budget android phone. Suggestions welcome however I have planned to take Zte Blade. Any pros and cons are welcome.
Although this community has taught me a lot of things and I have found a great society over here. I will be in touch of this community because it is my first android user experience community.
Thanks all devs and mates for such a great support and effort to keep the community alive.
Regards
Shiv
The ZTE blade will be new or bought from someone?
What`s the price of an Xperia Mini 2011 (St15) around your parts?
On eBay I found it for around 100 GBP (About 150$) It`s a nice 1ghz ARMv7, 5mpx, HD720p mini-monster.

11,500 INR (132 GBP) if you buy it "officially", and 9,500 INR (108 GBP) off dealers at eBay. So pretty similar I guess.
@Shiv, did you buy the Blade already? If not, what's your budget?

Lol yeah 10000 is a nice budget, unfortunately currency in india does not replicate the great british pound. Look a couple of posts above and youll understand conversion estimate.

Im a little gutted today!! Found out my upgrade is not due until December lol, oh well maybe I'll get the sg6 or htc 3z by that time. Love my wildfire to bits but getting seriously bored and in much need of a more pocket p.c, had an accident at work and managed to severely ruin my screen with grinding steel shards which were red hot resulting in them melting into the screen. Managed to smooth out the screen but its left it with around 1000 pimple looking marks which in certain light just looks uuuugly. Got new screen for £8 on order so gonna attempt a self fix but if i fail then iy looks like an early upgrade charge will be on the cards lol.

Unlucky mate, its quite an easy fix if I remember correctly, the only tricky part is folding the softkeys backlight cable around when clipping it all back together.........
Hope you don't have big clumsy fingers like I do!

If is the real deal, than it should be a lot of fun.
so how was it? I see a whole bunch on ebay now.
Hello Awesome XDA peeps!!
Been lurking here for a month and a half after finding XDA when rooting my Xperia SP and have learned so much from this super community!! Finally registered today and also heading out the door soon to pick up a Z1! (giddy as a schoolgirl!! LOL!)
I just wanted to say thanks to all the mods, devs & regular users for all the cornucopia of knowledge here in these forums and I'm confident I'll be able to root the Z1 with zero hassle with all the help, tools and guides here!!

wouldn't be better for you to wait a couple of days for the Z2 pricing in the usa?

He isn't in the US. And the Z2 won't come officially to the US for probably 5-6 months.

Why not? The Z2 is months away in the US/Canada.

Well, I bought it! Got the purple one and it's kinda cool, sort of Joker Purple so won't be an affront to my manliness!! :laugh: I didn't want to wait for the Z2 as I figure it will be a lot more expensive in Canada if it's supposedly 599 in the UK as I've seen online. I'm happy with the purchase, just heading out again to get a nice slim line case for it!
Thanks for all the input though!

Eh, those are used phones, some people are OK with paying more for that new phone smell!
---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------
I also got my Z1 off Amazon last week. No one knows when Z2 will be out in the US, but as others have said, maybe in the summer. I decided I'd rather enjoy a nice phone now rather than wait 4-5 months.

That's exactly my thinking!! I have to say I love this phone!! I totally fell in love the SP a month and a half ago when I got it and now the Z1 is even better! Now to let it charge up and then it's rooting time!
Aaaaaaaand I'm done! Bootloader unlocked, 14.2.A.1.136 rooted, life is good!!!
Now to setup how I like and me and Barney (yes I named my purple Z1 Barney!!) can call it a day!!
Thanks again to all the awesome peeps here!

Update time! Tuesday night when I finished rooting I was using the stock 136 (bal) ftf and lost LTE, switched to NUTs stock 136 (customized bal) and still no LTE, switched last night to the stock 136 (global) and LTE in tha house baby! . My purple baby beast of a phone is running beautifully!
Oh and it's not Barney anymore... The Z1 is such a sexy beast of a phone that Barney seems kind of insulting! Due to the purple hue I have dubbed it "Violet" (also the name of my first girlfriend back in grade 6 and she was in grade 8... goodtimes! Man that was a long time ago! lol!)

I actually ordered a C6906 off Ebay because I figured the Z2 would be delayed and even then, several months away from release in the U.S. Also, I'm an impatient sonovabitch. I figure I'll just sell my Z1 and buy a Z2 when it's finally available here. I had the Z Ultra briefly and really liked the software experience. My only beef was the camera, which the Z1 should satisfy.
I wish Sony was better about making their phones available here. I would have even considered a Z1 Compact if it had AT&T LTE bands.
Hello guys,
I've let my phone fall and now my screen it's cracked.. I have no problems for using it but it's really a pity.
It still haves 6 months of warranty, but I don't think this will be for free since is not a hardware problem.
I would like to know what you guys recommend me to do? Send it and pay (any ideas of how much it's to fix it?)
Or buy the new lcd? (any ideias of price? )
Thanks

Super Amoled= super expensive and with curved display = super super expensive.
Just got mine repaired... €295,- at a Samsung repair center. They made it IP68 also again (that's why I did let it repair).

Buy the screen on eBay, super cheap. Then watch YouTube videos how to replace it. It's super easy! Also on ebay the will sell you the screen and tools you need to that phone apart like the suction and screw driver....
