I know we quite often get people asking for recommendations for mobile phones on here and with Christmas coming up, I though this might help people....
I have heard very good things about the Orange San Francisco phone which is an Android phone so has all of the app store etc and is very customisable.... it is £100 on Orange PAYG at the moment.
The full review (with pics etc) on Modaco can be found on this link.... http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blade-blade-modaco-com/318802/paul-reviews-the-orange-san-francisco/
But to summarise the guys review:
In conclusion
If you hadn't guessed already... i'm pretty comprehensively blown away by the San Francisco. Even ignoring it's price, this is a device that I would be happy to own and happy to carry around as my everyday phone (in fact i've been doing just that and i've rarely missed my more 'prestigious' devices). Factor in that this phone is just £99 and it is just incredible. This is £300 cheaper than a HTC Desire. Food for thought!
A new benchmark has been set and I can't WAIT to see what handset comes out that eclipses the San Francisco on price vs performance. I have a feeling that it won't happen for a while, such is the accomplishment here.
There are two things that concern me a little. The first is that Orange will see the huge success of the San Francisco and increase the price. While the phone would still be great value at double the price, that would be a real shame considering the extent of the achievement here. The second concern is that the San Franciscos will become very hard to buy... I hope Orange ordered a lot - these are going to sell by the truckload.
This guy tries almost every Android, iPhone and Win7 device that comes out so this is high praise indeed..
