Just got mine. It is sold in Bulgaria under the brand name of "Fan Phone 1948" - a limited edition series with red colored casing, dedicated to the football champions team "C.S.C.A.".
Screen is quite responsive to touch. Menus are intuitive and appear quickly. Audio from the internal speaker is VERY loud. The screen is great indoors and acceptable - at sunlight. Ringtone could be heared from afar, and there is no problem to assign your own MP3 for a ringtone. Camera despite being 2MP has rather basic quality at daylight and is useless in dark rooms (no flash light). Strangely enough videorecording is OK.
The specification list here says that the phone does not support JAVA - this is not true! Not only that you can install almost any touch-screen JAVA game developed for Samsung Omnia I or for LG KU990, but also the built-in internet browser is the latest OperaMini which works just great!
No problem with Bluetooth file exchange as well as pairing with my Pulsar BT stereo headset.
MP3 playback is pretty good, however the included wired headset is rather basic and the sound is somewhat 'pitched'. No problem with the BT stereo thought.
It's my first day of usage so I still can't tell how much the battery will last but for now - after three steady hours of testing the battery bar has decreased by not more than 1/4, meaning the I may have 3 more days before I need to recharge.
As a whole the phone seems sturdy built with no cracking sounds if pressed and twisted, with nice back plate resembling (guess who?) the iPhone design.
The only drawback so far are the two touch buttons under the screen which are not that responsive as I would prefer - one needs to press them really hard and right on top in order to get them working.
Personally I give this phone 7.5/10 mainly because of the poor camera performance and the not reliable wired headset in the package. At least 1GB memory card would have been a nice touch too, but there was no card included, so I had to buy one by myself. On the other hand the SunDisk 8GB class4 microSD worked seamlessly with the device.
This said only one question remained - I could find nowhere the phone specifications about the supported video files formats. Obviously one choice is MP4 since this is the format the camera shoots to, but any other option could be helpful since the screen is relatively large for such cheap device (got mine for USD55, no plan required).

Is this phone tilt-sensitive like the iPhone? I don't really like doing the old pressing the same button 3 times to get one letter.

I bought this phone to replace a nokia 5800 Xpress that went wrong, for just 30 quid you cannot grumble at this little phone it's packed with features looks great performs fairly well feels well made too and very easy to use, biggest downside no 3G only 2G network,
but overall I think it deserves at least 8 out of 10
and value for money 10 out of 10
I think paying as much as £80 for phone like this would still be good value.

Considering I only paid £29.99 for the handset I think this is amazing value for money. Yes it's a bit short on features, most notably the lack of memory or a memory card slot but what do you expect for 30 quid? My only complaint is the stupid predictive texts that all ZTE phones seem to have but you can always use the QWERTY keypad instead. The best thing is the 2.8" screen which has a very good resolution not that far off all the more expensive smartphones. It also packs a 2 megapixel camera which is ok but one again you do get what you pay for. All in all this is an excellent package, well worth considering if you're on a limited budget, plus it looks a bit like a Nokia N97 from a distance so that always helps!
