Looks like a cheap Blackberry.
Had my Desire HD for a week and bit now. Bloody fantastically superb phone!

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. |

Go for the Orange San Francisco, a decent phone at a decent price. |

It is, isn't it.
If only they'd sorted out the battery life - mine barely makes it to 7pm and I don't consider myself a heavy user. |

I'm a pretty heavy user I think but I'm managing to get a good 12 hours out of the battery. |

| Mine's fooked since it dropped out of my top pocket into a bucket of water yesterday.
It coincided with me wanting a newer one ... so no harm done  |

Or do you want it repairing? Did same with mine (except it was a clean toilet) and cost me £56 for a repair.
I thought it was just my battery that was poor since its little swim, but obviously not. |

The difference being you know what and how to turn off stuff that you are not using. |
