I'm the only guy interested in this phone?? :(

I feel that there are not many takers since this phone is not really a substantial upgrade over the ZTE Blade / Orange San Francisco. Only few things bumped up, that too after like 1.5 years is not something what was expected. The screen size is also the same, something which i feel should have been more if they really wanted to showcase it as a upgrade.
 
But it would still be awesome as a new purchase for 10k phone buyers eh? I mean c'mon Dell, bring it over already!

EDIT: This is the actual ZTE Blade we are looking for. Says released December 2011 :o:

ZTE V881 (ZTE Aglaia)

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3243&c=zte_v881_zte_aglaia

- Android 2.3.5

- Qualcomm MSM 8255 1GHz

- Adreno 205

- 3.8" WVGA screen

- 512MB RAM

- 3.7GB ROM

- 5MP Autofocus Camera with LED flash

Now that looks better!
 
As we all know, the successor of ZTE Blade aka Orange San Francisco is here----> ZTE Crescent/ Orange San Francisco 2

In the year 2010-11, Orange San Francisco was rated as the most hot selling phone in UK.

After its huge success, Orange San Francisco II has been launched on 01 December 2011.

At present, only one variant available in stock : BLACK COLOR
