I need some help choosing one of those two phones. This will be my first android phone so i don't want to spend too much money as i am a windows mobile fan. My options are:
1)ZTE Blade. 159 euros from a different provider than the one i have (phones are unlocked by default here so that wont be a problem) so i will have to pay the full price. It has an lcd screen and 256mb ram. I know that 512mb ram can be unlocked and i am comfortable with that sort of things but i don't want to do anything of the sort untill the official update to froyo 2.2.
Pros: Larger screen and big resolution. The 512mb ram that can be unlocked.
Cons: Battery and the lack of an official service center in my city. For the official upgrade to greek froyo 2.2 I will have to take it back to the shop i will buy it from because it will not be done over the internet. Very high SAR value.
2)Samsung Galaxy 3 (i5800). 159 euros by my provider, and since i will renew my contract for another year, i will have a discount of 67 euros, which makes it 92euros. (Otherwise i would have to settle for a 5 euro discount to my bill every month). It has an lcd screen and 256mb ram as well.
Pros:Better battery and price. Official service center in my city. Low SAR value. Easy to upgrade officially over the internet.
Cons: Nothing can be done about the 256mb ram. Smaller screen and resolution.

Blade runs stock Android...
... so it is more likely to have future unofficial updates for it. Samsung phones have some Samsung customizations and Samsung usually drops support for its models under two years.
I am not sure if there is 2.2 or 2.3 unofficially available to Blade yet.
Yes, tere are unofficial 2. 2 roms for Blade and if rumor is real we should get official 2. 2 in some time.

Galaxy already got an official update. I don't want to get unofficial updates for some time for waranty reasons. But both have unofficial updates.
What bothers me most is the sar levels on the blade (too high) and the battery, but i am also annoyed by the small resolution of galaxy. However i'm leaning mostly towards galaxy
i'm thinking of getting a zte blade but i currently have a htc diamond, does anyone think it's worth the extra £30 (after selling old phone), comparing the specs they look similar?

Hmm...:
RAM/ROM: 192MB/512MB -> 512/512
320x480, 3.2" -> 480x800, 3.5"
CPU: 528 MHz -> 600 MHz
Oh diamond I read magic.
Diamond is win mobile right?
IN sweden Telia and Comviq has official says that Blade gets 2.2 in about 1-2 weeks.
Hi guys
the G pad actually completely convinces me despite the better screen on the upcoming Galaxy pro 8.4. In any case, anyone out there from Oz land who can help with the following questions: I can't buy the Gpad in black as I would like to, no Oz retailer will order it in (?) Is there any of the grey market firms out there that is actually ok to order from? Also would you advise Google play version vs LG, and how could a mere mortal Ozzie achieve that?
Does anyone who's had the gpad for 6 months think I should rather invest in the SG pro 8.4? Please give me some advice. Most important to me is reliability, sd card slot, size (8-9"), battery and lightness. Thanks so much in advance
Hi im new to this forum, i found a refurbished Samsung 700t model in ebay which is 21500 INR (roughly 350 USD).
There is not much information about the configuration, it says samsung 11.6 700t i5 128gb 4gb windows 7
i have no idea about which variant it is.
Can you guys enlighten me on this please ?
is this legit product ? is it worth buying it ?
I am planning to get it mainly for digital art (Photoshop, Manga, Paint SAI)
Thanks in advance
I currently have a LeEco Pro 3 x720, 6gb/64gb snapdragon 821, but I cracked the screen and not up for repairing it, so just going to upgrade. Sadly LeEco doesn't make any more phones, and after searching for an upgrade that's also compatible with T-Mobile/MetroPCS, and also for the price, it looks like the 8gb/128gb version of the Z17 might be my choice. Pretty easy to root? I know the Pros just by looking at the chipset, what are the Cons?
Hi, I would like to buy a c9 pro but most likely used so it will be cheaper. Can you please tell me what to look for when I get to have a meetup for the phone?
I have searched that I need to check the *#0*# and or checking IMEI and match it on imei.info but I was wondering if Korean variants have that option/function as well?
I want to get the black but does the black have Snapdragon chipset and Gold/pink to have Qualcomm? Which one is better to get? Please give examples.
I want to buy this because it has good camera MP and memory overall. I don't play much games.. So rarely and won't be a deep gamer for this phone.
S9 plus is a bit too much to get as value will get depreciated after a year. Please help. Thanks!!
