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:

Or spend more on a smartphone:
http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/motorola-flipouthttp://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/ ... curve-8520I 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.
I know i replied to this before but your right nice phone touch screen i like and other features too as for connection using GPRS crap all round,thinking of getting the blackberry now or a touch screen one,but not on orange signal strengh is crap.My son says the same with his blackberry unless the netgear internet is on at home
