Guys, let me tell u something really hillarious...!!
I was just checking out people's views & comments abt nokia C5 on gsmarena forum. One guy had a complaint that his c5 worked well for 1st 5 days but now it's taking 5-10 minutes for switching on.
So, most of the people replied to him that "as ur phone is new u shouldn't put much apps in it & ur phone will take time to adjust to the environment & settings...!!! "
I just can't imagine how much stupid reasons nokia fans can give to defend their phone !!!

Anonymous, 16 Feb 2011large screen with internet speedy, that what i'm looking for. but how the slide mechanical? ho... moreYes, the screen is perfect for browsing. The slide is excellent, has a very satisfying feel. There is only a very very slight rocking of the slide, feels like a solid metal slide mechanism with a bit of plastic components if you can understand what i mean.
Make sure you get a new batch (post december) phone. Older ones may have problems. Mine is october and hasn't died yet. Bought on 1st Jan, slider open count 1280 only!

abhi, 16 Feb 2011I think Zte blade has android 2.1 from the starting but u should update it to android 2.2(it's... moreEven though the tech specs are awesome, in the hand it feels a little cheapish; it's worth maybe 8-10k. Definitely not the 15k the Dell XCD35 is selling for. Yeah, 2.1, especially the orange branded one, is a drag but i wanna use it like that for a few days before i flash to froyo. Screen is awesome, but not that great in sunlight. The zylo's is better!!!
I managed to solve the opera mini 4.2 and 5 installation problem. Borrowed a friend's vodafone sim, set up the apn, and tested the internet is working in 4.1. Then ran 4.2 and 5 and they installed without a hitch. Then swapped back to the loop sim and they would still connect properly. it was only the installation phase that was getting stuck on that sim. So now my zylo has opera mini 3, 4.1, 4.2 and 5. Multitasking all of these together is really fun!
Many thanks for all your help man. And anyone else who contributed, esp. smard for the 4.1 suggestion :-D

I just bought a Zylo a couple of days back! I found absolutely no issues (though I may be speaking too soon). The phone looks brilliant and is quite fast. I found messaging also very easy on it.

Also u may find android awkward at in starting but soon u will start to like it. It's addictive like cocaine... lol...

Guys, i just got myself an Orange San Fransisco/ZTE Blade. Since it's my first android phone it's very awkward for me, i'm just too used to SE's OS and shortcuts, but i'm learning. Not sure if i'll sell the zylo, i really like it in spite of the call problems.
Anyway, while reading the manual, i saw that MMS had delivery report and read report options. But not SMS, which had only delivery report. So i guess that's why when we enable read report for SMS on our Zylos it converts it to MMS. It's an option only for MMSs.
