Stuck with the Froyo version of Android Market after using the ZTE Online Update tool?
You can either be patient and the Market app will update itself, you can force an update, or you can download and manually install the current Market v3.4.4 yourself.
Force an update using the instructions found at Updating Android Market - Android Market Help
Download 3.4.4 from HERE and manually install.
Update (Aug 18 2012 5:43pm EST; Changed link to ZippyShare)
If you need the below files that were offered on the ZTE website to update/restore your phone I've rar'd and uploaded the below two files(exe and pdf) to ZippyShare.
As of Dec 26 2011 this method is confirmed working as per the thread "Tips B08 update for rooted users."
Remember to backup if you still have the capability prior to using this method as it will wipe your data and apps. And restore afterward.
Also, your SD card will get wiped too so it would be wise to remove it prior. Or backup the whole card to your PC and then proceed to update.

If for some reason the rar archive disappears from ZippyShare feel free to PM me and I'll re-up ASAP.
