This phone would be exceptional, for the price, were it not for a show-stopping design fault : the internal storage space is MINISCULE, only 160MBs. Even with an upgrade to Android 2.2 firmware (which allows for installing some apps to the SD card), it is the internal storage space that's used for program cache and data. This means HUGE problems, as you will be routinely "left out of space" when trying to install new applications. I can't for the life of me understand why ZTE made the foolish, foolish choice of bogging down this otherwise worthy smartphone with such a small storage footprint, but them's the brakes. Go for Huawei Ideos X5, which will at least allow you to use and install lots of apps, as it has 1GB of internal space..

Blade_FanTom, 11 Oct 2011Hi all.
This is more of a query than anything.
there has now been an update to cyanogenmod 7... moreHi Tom,
I got mine around 2 months ago and was surprised to find out it was a Gen1, After looking online however I found an easy CM install guide that converted the phone to gen2 in the process, I'm now running Cyanogen 7.1 (think the nightly builds run better though and I've never had an unstable one) and it's great!
here's the guide at the official CM wiki:

Hi all.
This is more of a query than anything.
there has now been an update to cyanogenmod 7.1 for the blade.
i am assuming like the custom roms available for this handset from Cyanogemod the handset needs to be a gen 2 handset am I right in thinking this?

Guds, 13 Sep 2011Hi, How do you delete contacts in this phone? Preferably delete all. I can't seem to figure... moreGo to 'settings' --> 'applications' --> 'manage applications'. Select the 'all' tab at the top. Then scroll to 'contacts storage' and select 'clear data'.

Guds, 13 Sep 2011Hi,
How do you delete contacts in this phone? Preferably delete all. I can't seem to figure... morethe best way to delete all contacts is to delete contacts from your gmail account by checking all boxes.
I let you remember that your Gmail contacts are synchronized with your ZTE blade phone.
