Orange Monte Carlo

whats the point of a smart phone that cant do flash player ie youtube and justin tv ? was interested in this until I read this wont do flash
 
Is a lack of flash at stock even that big of a deal? Iirc there's been a fair few phones modified (read: hacked) to run flash on worse hardware than this.
 
as long as the phone isnt as slow as the demo videos have shown then it will be a hit.

if it is as slow as the demo videos with very laggy interface it could be a huge problem trying to sell it over the SF given the SF from what i have seen isnt as laggy when trying to move through the phones features.

either way both phones need to be removed of all Orange rubbish though not sure how easy it is going to be to unlock the MC, hopefully easy like SF
 
Again the mobile will be slow and as laggy (maybe not as bad as shown in the videos so far) as the SF and other mobiles.

However this will all be fixed by simply flashing a custom ROM, using launcher pro, go launcher ex etc.

EDIT:

The SF was terrible as well on stock, not as bad as the skate from what has been shown so far, you probably seen SF with custom ROMs etc. on it, as once a custom ROM is on the SF it is much smoother and quicker.

Tempted but really depends on the battery life. After now having a phone that I don't have to charge for 4/5 Days charging every night really grinds my gears.
 
Had a San Fran for about 8 months now, and while its decent, definately not getting this phone! No camera flash...sounds like same poor cpu/battery/build quality..no thanks...HTC next for me!
 
I've never understood why manufacturers put on really slow, bloated ROM's when demonstrating the unit, really doesn't give off a good impression does it?
Zte dont, they give orange the phones who then install all there rubbish, the Zte branded Skate will be running stock android 2.3

Is an HTC a much better phone? I guess the price will be a lot more

It has average battery life, you won't get this long out of it. It's got about the same as the desire (original) - a decent days worth - possibly less if you don't play much on it.
