UK: Original Orange San Francisco now just £62.99
The Orange San Francisco is the original own-brand budget Android smartphone that the UK operator started selling way back, with great success thanks to the handset’s excellent price per features ratio. The San Francisco is getting a bit old nowdays, it even has a successor already on the market. But if the minor hardware upgrade [...]
ZTE intros PF200 and N910 Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich phones with LTE

[...]
ZTE Tania now available in the UK for £198.97
The ZTE Tania has unexpectedly arrived in stock in the UK early. Well, earlier than the most recent reports would have you believe.

ZTE intros Fashion TV Android smartphone
ZTE has teamed up with Fashion TV to introduce the FTV phone. This is not a new device, though: it’s just a ZTE Blade (aka Orange San Francisco) with new paint jobs and exclusive Fashion TV content (wallpapers, apps – FTV news, FTV portal, FTV Clock and so on). Since it’s not based on the [...]

Orange San Francisco II to be also sold as ZTE Blade S
Since the first Orange San Francisco smartphone was also sold by ZTE under its own brand (as the ZTE Blade), it makes sense for the new San Francisco II to be offered under the Chinese company’s brand as well.
