Quote ="PTB"No.
Relative to the rest of the market, No.
It might be good enough though, it depends what your needs are…? If you think you are getting a top class smartphone for less than the price of a top class smartphone then, at the risk of sounding blunt, you are not.
If you want to make calls then it will probably do. But you might as well spend less on something which isn't pretending to be something it's not:
shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/nokia-1616
At least you know you only spent £12.50 on it.
Or spend more on a smartphone:
shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/motorola-flipout
shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/ ... curve-8520
I just think that phone would be unsatisfying in all the ways you don't think about until you've got it home and out the box. The feature list is fairly impressive (for £30), but in terms of real world usability it would come up short because of all the compromises made.
It's got a camera that won't take good pictures.
It's got email, wap, Orange Downloads and video download and yet it is limited to GPRS (far slower than 3G).
It's Java™ capable, which is meaningless, because almost all J2ME applications and games are rubbish.
It's got a touch screen, which probably isn't capacitive and unlikely to be very accurate or pleasant to use — not if the whole phone costs £30.
I hope that helps with your decision making.'"
Thanks for that but its not a bad phone after all still get used to the phone itself setting and every thing else on it too,cheap enough aswel only paid £14 for it with my orange fund at orange shop. Free texts and internet for £10 a month cant go wrong with that.
Happy with it so far for the price and just for the record going to send you a link about the phone via p/m please feel free to say what you want once youve seen the link ie not allowed on here |

As long as there is cake for breakfast there is no decision problem.
Problem is, there is no cake amongst the mobile phones on a £12 a month plan. |

For £12 a month, you'll be lucky to get dry shredded wheat. |
