After days of waiting, finally received the ZTE V9 a.k.a. Optus MyTab last night from DSE. Left it charging overnight. First impression: hefty weight, nice build quality. Screen resolution is not that sharp, especially when compared to the SGS. Resistive touchscreen is also not as responsive as a capacitive one, but I've been told the response is already pretty good.First order of the day is to upgrade the software from Eclair 2.1 to Froyo 2.2. That's easy enough. Just download the upgrade tool from either Optus' or ZTE's website and run it. Put the tablet in FTM mode (power on, then simultaneous press on the volume up and down keys when the Android mascot shows up), and connect it to the PC.
For me, it didn't work the first time because the upgrade tool can't find the image files. Had to quit and re-run to upgrade tool for it to work.Next up is to perform the network unlock. Wife's going to use the tablet, not me. There are a couple of websites out there that will generate the unlock codes for free. All they need from you is the IMEI code. Try:

If you're feeling generous, there are a couple of guys on eBay who do it for a fee - ranging from $1 to $6. Shame on you, people!
