Interestingly, I just grabbed ZTE Skate (Orange Monte Carlo) from Argos for £80. My old ZTE Blade is going to the wife to use as an access point, so I needed a cheeky backup device for when the N900 is in haitus (i.e. being fannied around with).

It's actually really nice. The CM9 port is going well and the CM7 port is pretty bloody rapid considering such low HW spec. The screen is magnificent. Both are in active development over on Modaco.

In short, there's no chance I'll ever piss a good couple of hundred quid away on an HTC / Samsung device etc when I can pick up an Android toy for that sort of money.

Good fun and worth the beer money.
