ZTE Xiang - User Reviews

  • And you can also find it in China

  • if anyone wants to buy this phone u can find it in portugal for cheap

  • cricket wireless may have something in store for these....just wait

  • Hi - where did you purchase this phone? I am in the US and looking to buy one. Thanks.

  • Where can I purchase this phone without a contract? I am in the US, and will buy from overseas, but cannot find where to buy it. Thanks!

  • i have the same problem .......... could'nt fix the wi-fi

  • can someone please tell me how do i set up the wireless?

  • My tourh screen is not working where can I get some to buy in Ghana.

  • pls i can not sent messages on my zte xiang phone. i dont know if i havent configure my phone well or wat............by the way can someone help me solve this problems.

  • well, growing challenges incite handy solution , the device is cheap and yet effectivw,,wonder why despise ever known that ZTE offers the technology that anchors so called big brands and yet competive ?? ALOS!! REM \\ GREAT C-H-I-N-A no wonder its the fastest growing com co.thx

  • Is there any of you experience enough upgrading its software?

  • Can say how can I setup wifi in it??

  • Definitely one of the best handsets I've ever used. The only bad thing is its camera in night mode. Everything else is perfect.

  • When you´re after a mobile phone probably the names you´ll came up are: Nokia, iphone,Blackberry, not so often LG and Samsung, SonyEricsson, Motorola, let alone all the others...you really don´t expect too much from an unknown brand specially a brand like ZTE.... If you´ve made already an idea of buying a new mobile from the above mentioned or if you´re so prejudice about chinese gadgets forget the ZTE, because you won´t even let yourself be impressed by it, no mater how good it is. But if you really don´t care about what i said, and you really wont to give yourself a try, to a really good looking smartphone and you´re tight on budget, the ZTE is the phone you should go after! I got mine today, and i must say i´m truly impressed! It´s my first smartphone, and my first contact with windows mobile. it has everything you should expect from a smartphone (WiFi, office,) you name it mine comes with a life licence of NDRIVE GPS! And when were talking about the price, is less than 200� !!! It it´s drawbacks, like minor things such as the 2.5mm jack instead of the 3.5, windows mobile it´s not the easiest OS to work with and it´s really power hungry, but it´s all a mater of getting used to like everything you buy. It can be a cheaper alternative to your blackberry, the keypad has excellent feedback, even the screen has really good sensitivity, although not so much optimized to your finger but to your stylus...if you think on blackberry all their models don´t have touchscreen so think of it as a plus! Great phone it´s all i can say until now

  • where can i buy one? either first or second hand... don't care. unlocked...

  • In Portugal, one of the major operators (TMN) sells it as an exclusive. They have changed the colors and rename it as "TMN Bluebelt". Anyway, it has got everything you need, from office to GPS. The camera it's quite slow, and the auto-focus does not work realy well. Anyway, for the price range it's a decent Pocket PC

  • you do realise that most phones you buy are made in china dont you? in fact most electronics are assembled there... all i can say is that i have one for 8 months now and it performs way better then my nokia 5220 did...and it was in the same price range when i got it, plus windows mobile and wifi make it a very good deal... dont bash things before trying them, you could be wrong...

  • its ossym man

  • Not at the moment. Telstra only gets its phones well after they are released. But if a phone runs an 850 frequency then it will run on telstra's networks regardless of whether you purchase it through telstra. ZTE is the telstra-preferred brand, so its not unlikely that it will come out in the future, though they have quite a few similar phones out at the moment so I'm unsure whether releasing another querty equipped one is on the cards.

  • yup man im agree with u

  • Hey people =] Just curious, do you know if this can run on the Next G network that Telstra in Australia is running off at the moment? I see that it has the 850 bandwidth... but I'm just not sure, thought I'd ask. Al

  • correction: it has 2.5mm jack not 3.5

  • it's chinese...no more to say... good skills, bad response

  • it has features like fast response and good picture quality and standby strength is more

  • i have one of these and its a very good phone, -fast stable easy to handle and to write with, the keys make a click like nokia 3310 makes. -has a decent autofocus 3.2Mp camera with flash, and a front VGA camera also quite decent. -The CPU is a qualcomm 528mhz and the phone has 128mb ram and to top all this it has wifi and bluetooth. -The wi-fi does not have the same reach as my laptop but i tested the download speed via wi-fi and it reached 3653kpbs link (hxxp://www.mobilespeedtest.com/results/11210836­53.jpg) -the batery is very good. and by very good i mean it lasts about 5 days with minor usage, if you do use the phone a lot it will last 1 day 2 tops. -the materials dont feel cheap the back of the phone feels silky rather than the normal plastic on the front, and the stylus is well hiden and doesnt come loose. -the only flaws i found were that the touchscreen and the card cant be removed while the batery is in. The could be a tad bigger and cover all the top of the phone instead it has a black frame around the screen. and even if the phone is very very thin its way to wide, not impossible-to-hold wide but a tad wider than i pictured it... other than that its an awesome phone\PDA with windows mobile 6.1 and for 130� its a bargain... if ZTE keeps making phones with this quality at this price, i know i wont be buying other brands so soon (this coming from a nokia fanboy)
