So??? Check xda forums. Look at the search feature, and check if there
is some thread with the specified model in the thread title.

Nah. Use the multiple tab option in your browser. xda in one, android forum
in another and some online shopping site in other(s).

How about a Samsung Mini / pop?? I am running 7.2, and slightly ICS is
also available.

Ugh. oh. My phone costs hardly 8 K. Additionally, required a windows
machine to install ClockWorkMod aka CWM, a prequisite for installing
Cayanogen Mod aka CM.
Not all phones are supported by that app called ROM manager - so
be careful while installing such applications.
You certainly need to check rootability and how to go about doing this.
For me, I was lucky to find a pristine machine running a working and safe
copy of Microsoft's WIndows (safe, fecause that that machine was sitting
isolated, without any network access, and had come with an OEM CD).
And like the defy+, you need to be very careful about those small letters
and variations in model numbers.
