Selling my ZTE Blade / Orange San Francisco

Reason for Selling: Have had enough Android experience, may try android on a tab later. Going back to my trusty SE w800i and will probably be getting a Nokia Symbian^3 handset.

Please read the FAQ and if any more questions please revert in this thread.

1. What are you selling ?

A: OLED ZTE Blade / Orange San Francisco Cell Phone

2. How old is the phone and where did you buy it from ?

A: Purchased in February 2011, so around 4 months old. Bought from ebay UK through Aramex SNS.

3. Is there any warranty applicable on the phone ?

A: No, since it was bought from Ebay UK. I will provide 3 days testing warranty after you receive the phone and if you have issues then we can solve it mutually and if still unsatisfied then ship back the device at your own cost and i will return your money without the shipping expenses.

4. How do we believe it is OLED ? I am not capable of judging from screenshots / pics

A: So am i. So you have to believe. There is method wherein you punch some code on default dialer and it shows up some information and one part shows LCD information and here we get to know whether it is TFT or OLED. But that does not work in custom ROMs. :(

5. Are there any dents / scratches / visible physical damage on phone ?

A. There are obvious scratches on the screenguard. Also on top right corner there are two dents which caused because of fall of phone from my trouser pocket once. I have highlighted them in pics below.

6. Did that fall cause any impact / crack etc with the screen / touchscreen sensitivity ?

A. Absolutely not, there is no damage whatsoever to the screen and its operations.

7. What all will come with the phone and what all will not?

A.

  • Its Box which was bit crumpled by aramex, so i have used cello tape to make it sit proper and seal those tears.
  • Uk type charger
  • Data / Charging cable, full length original.
  • 8GB Memory card inside the phone.
  • Original ZTE earphones, almost unused as i never used phone to listen to music / talk through handsfree.

    No booklets etc available as i had instructed the seller to remove those at the time of shipping.

8. I have more queries...

A. Put it in thread and i will try my level best to answer to your satisfaction.

9. Shipping ?

A. Local pickup preferred obviously (Pune), user may check in person and then if satisfied buy. Can be shipped at expense of the buyer using reliable service like Bluedart (may or may not use this since local bluedart guy quoted atrocious 2200 but will reconfirm. Overnite said they will charge 350 but will confirm again.

Please provide me 2-3 days after you pay for shipping as if overnite does not arrange pickup i have to go their office which is far from my place.

10. Asking Price?

A. Rs 7500 + shipping

11. Anything more you want to add?

A. The phone comes with custom ROM SS RLS5 2.2 froyo and the wbaw's mod of partitioning the internal memory has been applied to get more than 300 MB of usable internal memory for apps.

Custom ROM CM7 (gingerbread) can be used with this but i dont because i dont like it.

12. Where are the pics ??

A. Check Below

























The pic that i just took some minutes back to exactly show the dents. Earlier pics i felt are not proper in exposing them. On the side dent, what you see on front of phone is not a dent but a reflection of plastic bag, just wanted to clarify. The side dent is visible only on close examination and is not very obvious. Buy yes the corner one is.

^^No No not that reason. After initial fancy, i rarely used phone to install apps which were actually useful and also felt that i am not very comfortable with android on phones. I may buy an android tab later when my pockets permit but for now no android for me. Will be using my old w800i until i find something else.
 
^^It is allowed if one has a corresponding FS thread on TE :) I did read that specific rule before changing my Siggy.

Ok so taking a U turn for now. Not selling it. Sorry for inconvinence caused to anyone. I wanted to buy a nokia (read familiar) symbian^3 device after selling this but there is not at the price point that i want. Nokia C6-01 does not cut through because of less screen real estate. Will use this until a VFM nokia comes.

Nokia N8/E7 are out of my budget. Hopefully nokia listens and prices its phones more sensibly for audience like me.
