Weirdly harsh review at the end. Needs closure! The camera is completely fine and totally usable. With the addition of the 360 camera app, it actually starts to look pretty good.

A lot of phones don’t have straps. Strange thing to mention in a review.

Why would you want a rotating home screen? I find it annoying on my 2.3 rom.

8 hours of heavy use is pretty on par with most smartphones at the moment, so I’d reckon its battery is average at worst.

Personally, I think the biggest hitches about this phone are just that the max headphone volume is fairly low and the lack of an led flash. Fairly minor things.

But at that price, you can’t match the bulk of its features for less than $200. Check out the cyanogenmod 2.3 rom. It’s very impressive. Still alpha, though, pretty much.

I do not know how can you talk about camera quality, are you all right???
Take iphone 3gs for example. it’s 3 times more expensive and has definitely worse camera… So, please, give us a break

^ IMEI barcodes now mostly blurred.

It seemed appropriate to compact the ZTE Blade running 2.2 to the Nokia N8 running Symbian ^3, both the most recent operating systems (excluding 2.3).

Josh, your IMEI and S/N can still be read from barcodes in pictures.
