    I bought one of these on ebay last week and have been using it over the weekend. Have to say its fairly impressive for a £59 phone. However it is fairly basic and is missing a lot of functionality that both Android and iOS have as standard e.g. cut and paste. I would say it is on a par with the original iPhone in terms of build and functionality.

    I use it is my backup phone (i.e. non-work) and have an iPhone as my main phone.

    Just wanted to know if anyone else was using one and had any advice/suggestions/comments

    I have one as well, only had a small play around on it yet, plenty of apps straight out of the box, and it's a slick OS, i'd love to see it on a good sized quality screen.
    Could be a contender, nice to see some competition for windows and android and it's a good effort. I wonder if any of the networks will take a chance with it, it's a good cheap phone.

    I managed to brick mine after a few days of tinkering. I tried to restore the ZTE image but the recovery complains that it can't "verify the whole file signature" and stops here:

    assert_failed: getprop_new("ro.build.display.id") == "OPEN_EU_DEV_FFOS_"

    Does anyone know of a way to restore it to working order? Google isn't being very helpful.
