ZTE have posted two tools to their UK support web site (http://wwwen.zte.com.cn/endata/mobile/UK/) providing the ability to check for and install software updates for the Skate, the Libra and the Tureis, from your Windows PC via USB.

Once you have downloaded and installed the tool, a new folder will be added to the Windows Start menu called "Handset software update tool":

NOTE - installing software updates onto your ZTE Android device will erase ALL user data and restore the unit to factory default condition, so it is recommended that you backup your device first. This includes third party applications.

In order to update the Android phone, the device must first be put into bootloader mode. This is done by powering the device off fully, then powering it back on whilst holding down the VOLUME DOWN key on the side of the unit.

Launch the Handset software update tool from the Start menu, the following window will be displayed:
