    Wonderful cellphone for the price. The ram has a hardware limitation of 256Mb so cannot be unlocked. The display resolution is amazing. Works wonderfully if upgraded to gingerbread 2.3 by using the Moldovan High Mountain Pie Rom. Cyanogenmod also works but the camera doesnt work because the drivers for the chinese/ Idea Blade are missing, hoping for an integration of drivers soon. Definitely a phone worth having.

                      cons and pons .....!!
                      ----------------

                      DOCOMO IDEOS ... another phone and MTS cdma android phone same as IDEA ID-280 .


                      Here the answer - The real models are
                      ==============
                      1.
                      Ist - IDEA Blade - It is ZTE Blade and same as DELL xcd35 .
                      It has TFT capacitive screen - not almond or LCD touchscreen in INDIA .. and There are two
                      models USA and CHINA (check ZTE blade wiki and search DELL XCD by ctrl + f key )
                      is a pure
                      chinese model.

                      2.
                      IInd - IDEA ID-280 It is Huawei U8180 IDEOS X1 and it is also chinese phone .

                      3.
                      IIIrd - DOCOMO IDEOS . It is Huawei U8150 IDEOS and it is also chinese phone.

                      Which is better - in my view PRICE wise and operator's benefit wise - IDEA ID-280 is good .

                      These phones can upgraded to 2.2 officialy , and 2.3 too but unofficialy .. Do this after completing warrenty period ( for gingerbread ) .
                      To know complete correct specification go to gsmarena.com .

                      All of these pure chinese PHONE with CORE chinese comapany
                      So ,
                      How long these phones will run -- no one knows...
                      Better is just invest some more money and go for branded phone
                      like sony . samsung ,HTC

                      I have done research on these phones ,
                      so i m sure..

                      ----------------------------------------…
                      and about price
                      i found prices in jaipur
                      Ist BLADE 7200
                      IInd ID-280 5200
                      IIIrd -- have not checked
                      -----------------------------------
                      Buy it from ouside..
                      not from showroom ... Idea showroom or docomo showroom .
                      Local dealer can sell it in good price ..!!

                      Date is 17 - FEB - 2012 .

                      Price RATE this Question , if you find it interesting..
                      and please LEAVE comments...!!

                        excellent phone. beats lots of phones of even price higher than it. i got this in india with name idea bladefor rs 7600.

                        except video recording of 15fps everything is awesome. if your going for phone of even 9 or 10k i would recomend to even go much higher by 5k+ or get this phone. it has bass suitable woofers :)

                                    tez, 11 Feb 2012actually Ive just learnt all that in the sanfransisco uk si... morethere are several gingerbread roms..blade mix 360/365,gingerstir fly,moldovian high mountains,fish and chips...but cyanogen in my view offers better features and is more stable..
                                    there is also an official gingerbread for gen 3 blades..some guys who've managed to convert to gen 3 say its quite good..but converting to gen 3 is hectic..not worth it right now..am sure a port to gen 2 is on the way..
                                    there is also an ice cream sandwich port to the blade though its in early stages..you can try it but its not for everyday use..

                                        so have you managed to install the first clockworkmod and backup your current rom or do you want with that?..the procedures are quite safe as long you download the correct files..its important to backup just in case something doesn't work out..
