I have that phone. I run an Android 2.3.4 mod for it. I now get several days worth of battery life, multitouch and a very smooth responsive UI. That phone has proven to be a very hackable device and there have been some GREAT roms released in the last few months for that aging hardware.

I (probably) have the same phone as the grand-parent. Best modding info is at: http://android.modaco.com/forum/453-zte-blade-libra-blademod...

The Blade/Libra/San Francisco is a great phone, but it's not available for 50 quid, more like double that (though I bought mine for 70 a while ago, and got an AMOLED screen version too).

Maybe he was talking about the ZTE Racer, a previous best buy in the world of Android. Modaco also have info on getting the best out of that device:

I got my Blade/San Francisco for £75. From time to time there are deals, Argos was selling them on discount, some online retailers were too, Orange had a weekend sale on them a few months ago, and of course the second hand market. But yes you are right, they are closer to £100 than £50.

http://blade.modaco.com/ is a real gem and truly the best place to get all sorts of roms for the phone.
