@Lee : Hi! I've read your comment about the ZTE Skate being above the rest by far bec of the price.. regarding what you've mentioned about the 1.4 GHz released only in the philippines.. I believe it is only 1GHz as I checked it out,or maybe I'm wrong.. Where particularly is the best store for interested ZTE Skate buyers should go to buy, that comes with ICS 4.0 version? Thanks Lee!

They will only upgrade phones if you purchased it in their store as what they told me. You can have your Skate upgraded in MSI-ECS. Try calling them if they do, if not; you can go to Farmers and have it upgraded. They will not open your phone because they will only put the progarm using USB without actually opening it.
Also, with regard to your issues in waking the phone and will sleep after 2-3 secs. That how android phone works. If you wake them without unlocking, it will auto sleep to save battery because android phones are strong in consuming battery.
Other android phone are waken by power bottons or menu bottons as well so there's nothing to brag about. I have my Netphone 701 (aka ZTE Blade) and it has the same thing. Even Samsung SIII and other androids. It will auto sleep if you won't unlock the screen. (Smart right?).
Me, I investigated and checked the phone, checked forums like this before purchasing so that I my money won't be wasted.

What will happen if the button on the side fails? no way of waking up the phone unless you restart it..pfffttt i am also from the PI....

To Address your questions:
@zvona: yes, teh ZTE Skate can be updated to ICS 4.0. Depends, you can go to a legitimate ZTE dealer to have it upgraded or search via internet.
Here in Philippines, you can only pay 500 pesos or £7.5 to upgrade android 2.3 to ICS 4.0
@Anonymous: You can see the specs in the box, on the phone see 'about phone' in settings.
@Anonymous: If you're looking for ZTE Skate in UK or in other country, it only has 800 mgz. Again, the 1.4 Ghz is only released here in Philippines. It has been enhanded due to Filipino's being so "Tekki" or too conscious about a mobile phones specs.

Please be informed to those who wanted to buy ZTE skate Philippines price and specs, this is only untill the stock runs out or until December because ZTE will launch a new model by next year. My colleagues have their Skate as well when they saw mine.
I replied on your questions and it has been processed by the gsmarena admin I think so just wait for it to be posted.

I looked in malls, they say its 800 mgz and less ... moreHello guys, Sorry I was busy.
I bought my phone here in Philiippines where I live. If you go here, you can find this phone in Robinsons Mall and SM malls (The well known malls in the country.) The specs can bee seen in the phone itself. You can see it in 'about phone'. The memory can be seen in 'SD Internal memory' you will see the internal memory which is 1GB. That's clean because you will be the one to download the apps that you like. (Mine i have most of the pro apps like AVG Pro, plants VS Zombies, turbo race, Need for Speed Shift, etc. and no lag at all (Thanks to RAM cleaner also) which automatically kills applications that causes lag.
With regard to upgrading it to 4.0 ICS, as what I previously mentioned, I eruested to upgrade the phone to ICS before having it so when I came to get the phone, it's already ICS 4.0.
I bought it in Robinsons mall and once you get one of this, you can request for apps (paid apps) to be installed in the free 4GB micro SD.
When I asked the ZTE office here, they told me that the ZTE skate that has the specs that I previously mentions was only released here in Philippines because we 'Filipino's' are so called (Tekky) when it comes to gadgets.
