We wrote about the ZTE Blade V880 earlier this week and speculated that this is the base handset being used by Smart for the Netphone.
The handset is also called the Orange San Francisco in Europe and retails for $225PHP 13,204INR 19,069EUR 214CNY 1,638 in online stores (the barebones one, without SmartNet). Apparently, our guesstimate of Php5,000USD 85INR 7,223EUR 81CNY 621 for the handset was way off.

Ugh! taas ng price
JeHgan says:
Too late. Been waiting for this for ages. Wanted it for its touchscreen display and resolution. But so far happy with my Optimus One.
Operation Super says:
Guesstimate is way off. This is better than O1 though in terms of screen estate.
I just haven’t figured out if I get a prepaid kit, and don’t want to subscribe to any of their bundles, what SmartNet apps are still accessible.
spbx says:
so this is only smart locked?
vin says:
available kaya to sa greenhills? or to any gray market?
heh says:
Ang mahal naman… Kung 5k ung price ayos sana eh. pero sa ganitong price, better pa siguro kumuha ng galaxy fit or optimus one.
Off topic: Alam nyo ba ung “gooapple 3g”? Alam nyo ba kung san makakabili nun? Sorry kung bawal pala magtanong about sa ganun dito. Noob ako dito sa yugatech eh..
Noir says:
IS this Smart locked??? I want to use it with Globe Sim…
min says:
woah, mahal naman. mas papakyawin ngayon yung orange san francisco sa europe ng mga pinoy. kasi 5k lang doon. nung last summer nga nagkakaubusan na, edi ngayon pa.
rafsison says:
Waaah! Ang mahal naman for a Generic ZTE Phone… Sa LG Optimus One na ako…
Siguro lalangawin yang promo na yan ng smart, tapos iba-bagsak presyo nila ‘tong NETPHONE nila…
loade says:
At that price.. i’ll still get LG/Samsung. But if it will be lowered to 5-6k.. pwede na!
Ang mahal na, naka-lock pa sa Smart, yung services is from Smart.. Sana naisip nila na even at hefty discount, kikita pa din sila kase Smart services ang embeded.
U.Tinio says:
Grabe ang mahal. Di talaga magandang magpresyo itong si Smart
techguy says:
For sure this is SIM locked. I’d pass the buck. I’ll look somewhere else.
Techloban says:
It’s a tad too expensive. There are better smartphones in the market that are cheaper. I guess they’re giving it away at Plan 800 as an alternative to the Samsung Corby II.
Kyle says:
Expensive if you’re prepaid. Cheap if you’re postpaid. Why do people still use prepaid when postpaid gets you more goodies for the buck?
NetPhoneMan says:
Guys this is Smart locked, it’s not just a Smart-branded phone but will be a platform for offering Smart services such as Smart Money, social stream, chat, and it’s got a global directory for connecting to friends and establishments. Check out the actual demonstration at Smart stores for a better appreciation of the platform.
Inday says:
Sana may alcatel na my antina good for just to text,call and can download explorer.At my voice speaker.Just P2k satisfy na ako.Kahit anong style kasi d ako after sa brand after ako sa battery like 400h standby .
Suzanne says:
Yawn. I’m already doing this. Last year I got a 799 broadband plan from Sun took the sim out of the modem and put it in a samsung galaxy 5. I downloaded skype chikka and e buddy for communications and dolphin browser for browsing. And it’s a peso cheaper
Ariel says:
So, where I can buy a smart netphone 701? can you tell me the exact location?
anonymouse says:
stay online 24/7 free. – how is it free when you have to at least subscribe at least 10 pesos to get no-browse-apps-only connection. its just stupid and bullshit.
