Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.
If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

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.'"
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 |

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. | | |
