I bought Dell XCD35 4 months back... Last week i flashed Cyanogenmod since dell is not offering any official 2.3 update for XCD35... I will never go back to my stock ROM(2.2 - Froyo) cuz CM7 jus rocks... Also installed ICS theme along with ICS laucher... My blade is more faster, have more internal free space(also allows me to install apss directly to SD card)... Guys XCD aka ZTE blade is not a bad phone... For 8000 bugs its a nice pick... Only thing bothers me is back up... Ovrall its a budget phone with good looks and features... I'm happy to be a BLADER... :)

Wonderful cellphone for the price. The ram has a hardware limitation of 256Mb so cannot be unlocked. The display resolution is amazing. Works wonderfully if upgraded to gingerbread 2.3 by using the Moldovan High Mountain Pie Rom. Cyanogenmod also works but the camera doesnt work because the drivers for the chinese/ Idea Blade are missing, hoping for an integration of drivers soon. Definitely a phone worth having.

Idea ID-280 and Idea Blade ANDROID Phone ? can upgrad ed to v 2.3 gingerbird ?
which phone is better and how ?
Price in market ?
Real model names ?
DELL xcd is zte blade in real ?
cons and pons .....!!
----------------
DOCOMO IDEOS ... another phone and MTS cdma android phone same as IDEA ID-280 .
Here the answer - The real models are
==============
1.
Ist - IDEA Blade - It is ZTE Blade and same as DELL xcd35 .
It has TFT capacitive screen - not almond or LCD touchscreen in INDIA .. and There are two
models USA and CHINA (check ZTE blade wiki and search DELL XCD by ctrl + f key )
is a pure
chinese model.
2.
IInd - IDEA ID-280 It is Huawei U8180 IDEOS X1 and it is also chinese phone .
3.
IIIrd - DOCOMO IDEOS . It is Huawei U8150 IDEOS and it is also chinese phone.
Which is better - in my view PRICE wise and operator's benefit wise - IDEA ID-280 is good .
These phones can upgraded to 2.2 officialy , and 2.3 too but unofficialy .. Do this after completing warrenty period ( for gingerbread ) .
To know complete correct specification go to gsmarena.com .
All of these pure chinese PHONE with CORE chinese comapany
So ,
How long these phones will run -- no one knows...
Better is just invest some more money and go for branded phone
like sony . samsung ,HTC
I have done research on these phones ,
so i m sure..
----------------------------------------…
and about price
i found prices in jaipur
Ist BLADE 7200
IInd ID-280 5200
IIIrd -- have not checked
-----------------------------------
Buy it from ouside..
not from showroom ... Idea showroom or docomo showroom .
Local dealer can sell it in good price ..!!
Date is 17 - FEB - 2012 .
Price RATE this Question , if you find it interesting..
and please LEAVE comments...!!

excellent phone. beats lots of phones of even price higher than it. i got this in india with name idea bladefor rs 7600.
except video recording of 15fps everything is awesome. if your going for phone of even 9 or 10k i would recomend to even go much higher by 5k+ or get this phone. it has bass suitable woofers :)
