I picked up an Orange San Franscisco / ZTE Blade last week when in London. Cost me 90 quid on "pay as you go" for an android device with 3.5" capacitive screen, 600mhz processor etc etc.

With the help of the active user forums I quickly unlocked it, blasted off the orange bloatware and upgraded to vanilla Android 2.2.

What was originally meant to be a "90 quid, lets just take a look" purchase has now replaced my n900 as my full time device. I guess with today's announcement, there will be no turning back.
