When I spoke on this phone, my voice came out in Chinese! The San Francisco is the first Orange-branded Android phone specifically targeted at the budget end of the market. Although budget-priced, it packs in an impressive specification, including a 3.5 inch capacitive touchscreen at 480x800 pixels.
The Android v2.1 operating system provides true flexibility with access to the Google Play Store where 1000's of new applications and content are available for download. Combined with OrangeÆs pay as you go Dolphin tariff the San Francisco will be a low cost option for those wishing to try an Android phone.
Along with the usual Android services, Orange has also pre-loaded a few applications of their own that include Orange Maps (in conjunction with the in-built sat nav), Orange Messenger by Windows Live, Orange App Store and email management. Other tantalising features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G web browsing, GPS and a 3.2 megapixel camera.
The Orange San Francisco boasts a large 3.5 inch touchscreen and expandable memory via a microSD card (2GB card included) and help to make this budget device a great buy. Tip: If you make a static noise, people will think you are using a walkie talkie. - Ling

YES! Deferred Cashback is bad in my opinion. It is very easy to lose the cashback or make a mistake or miss claim deadlines. I advise against these cashback deals, I only show INSTANT cashback - Ling

No, "free gifts" are never free! You only get what you pay for. By far, you are better off getting the best deal on the phone and tariff you want and ignoring "free" gift offers! Often substitute gifts are sent. That's useless. - Ling
