Not called the Spirit after all

CHINESE PHONE MAKER ZTE's Tania Windows Phone handset is available for pre-order in the UK.

The ZTE Tania is available to pre-order for a price of £249 with online retailer Clove and will tip up on 13 February. The firm originally showed the handset exclusively to The INQUIRER back in September when we were told it would be called the Spirit.

Back then we were told the device would tip up "very soon" in the fourth quarter, so it's been delayed somewhat. ZTE told us there is no particular reason for the delay and that the phone just got pushed back.

It will be the firm's first device to run Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system in what Wu Sa, director of mobile device operations at ZTE called a "strategic move".

The handset is similar looking to the Skate but with Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. It will have a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, a 5MP camera and a 4.3in touchscreen with 800x480 resolution.

We had a play around with the phone when we saw it in September and we were impressed with the design and its good performance. The reasonable price tag could make it a budget phone winner in 2012. µ

Expensive

The zte skate is available for 89 pounds in the form of orange monte carlo phone at argos. Apart from 4.3 inch screen there is nothing good in this expensive phone. Unlike nokia ZTE offers no support for windows phone. Better buy Nokia Lumia or dual cpu Motorola Atrix at this price or wait for this phone to sell at a real world price of around 50 pounds.
