Orange Vegas ReviewRed starRed starRed star White star White star

Poor Excellent

Look and feel

A light, compact touch-screen device that looks as though it might run on Windows Mobile – it doesn’t. However, it feels surprisingly well made for such a cheap handset.

Ease of use

The Orange Vegas is designed to introduce users into the world of touch-screen phones, so it is deliberately easy to use with a simple feature set.

Features

The handset offers a camera, music player and GPRS data speeds, albeit these are all mediocre, but you can’t really expect any more from a budget phone.

Performance

The touch-screen is reasonably receptive, although inputting text is fiddly. Internet speeds are fast enough for limited browsing, but the camera has no flash and produces low quality pictures.

Battery life

Battery life is average; it could be better when you take into account the lack of features to run it down.

The verdict

A nice introduction into the world of touch-screen phones that, for the price, is difficult to find fault with.

Orange Vegas

Pros: Pros Compact and cute design, bargain price and decent touch performance.
Cons: Fiddly text input, below average camera and rough sounding music player.

Verdict: Touch-screen handsets don’t come cheaper than the Vegas. A great ‘my first touch-phone’.
