Here’s an interesting print advert for the shockingly good Orange San Francisco, in which the network makes a very well-founded boast about the £99 Android phone’s incredible price/features offering.
Of particular interest is the small print to the right of the phone – which says “coming soon to pay monthly”…
So if you’re so battered by the recent financial crisis that even £99 is too much money to pay out in one go, the San Francisco should soon start to appear on subsidised monthly contracts via Orange.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
