I got the ZT 180 512 ram 4gb memory so far so good I got mine start from China. The website was call http://www.aliexpress.com I'd took 3.5 days to get here and cost me 190.00 to my door. Acutely I'm on it right now

 

[big_mike]

um seems interesting. is it update able and able to access the market?

any idea if i could tether it to my desire hd?

 

[gtpdjw]

It has the latest firmware yes it is updated able. the market works great not one problem there and as far as tethering goes your desire hd would have to be rooted with wireless tether app and you have to change the adhoc wpa_supplicant.conf so it will see your desire hd but yes it can be done

 

[big_mike]

cheers for the reply.

i know it can be used as a tether for pc's (well any device with wifi [can also go through usb] there's even a pre installed app)

so would it still need rooting?

 

[gtpdjw]

does you desire hd have a hot spot app on it stock? if so yes it should tether no problems but you can run your bill up using it wireless tether you won't.

 

[big_mike]

yup hotspot app pre installed.

are the specs accurate on the ZT 180? because ive seen lots of things regarding the a/e pads that say the specs arnt correct, the ram / memory ETC

sorry for all the questions gtpdjw

 

[gtpdjw]

Yes from where I ordered mine the memory seems to be right because if you add it up it come up it's a little short like it should because of the OS being on there to.​

here's a pic of the memory in app monster​

 

[big_mike]

[gtpdjw]

No problem I love mine so far I can't wait until the developer start to make custom roms, and themes for them.

 

[big_mike]

Cheers. Glad yours is going well, Any niggles or gripes with it?

 

[gtpdjw]

Just waiting for flash 10.1 but not that big of a deal and a custom kernel so I can over-clock it a little thats about it.
