Orange UK has recently announced the availability of their new touchscreen phone known as the “Orange Vegas”. The company claims that it is the cheapest full touchscreen handset in the market today. It is available for purchase at the carrier points of sale across UK or online.

The Orange Vegas may not as cute as you expect it to be but I guess we can all make an exception here because it is priced at nly 48.50 GPS for pay-as-you-go customers. Currently this handset comes in 2 colors including Pink and Black.

It comes with a 2.4 inch TFT touchscreen and the user interface is exclusively designed for Orange. In addition to that it features a 1.3 Megapixel snapper which is capable of taking images and videos and of course the music player followed by the microSD card slot. The microSD card is expandable up to 4GB of memory. An additional features includes free access to services like Facebook, Myspace and Bebo. Other than that it also offers a built-in FM radio and Bluetooth connectivity.

I recently had the opportunity to review their services on my circuit to Holland [stories from my trip coming soon..] and ugh…they own every other network out there. More and more people travel now (contrary to US dollar going MIA) and an absolute necessity is communication with those who are home. The costs are reasonable, far better than what I have back home, where Orange and Vodafone rule the market, charging a lot for average services. They cover over 200 countries some of which I never knew they existed like Mayotte or Gambia, and 20+ cruise lines.
