Guest Frankish Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Twice the price but reasonable specs. Shame it's Gingerbread again! I for one won't be jumping ship but will still follow the launch next week very closely. Opinions guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest razzmataz1478 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I don't think that the sales will be good at first and hopefully that will persuade orange to bring the price down to 150ish. That price I'd choose it over the g300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timfimjim Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Looks quite good, nice screen and 1.6GHz processor (but Intel so I don't know how good these will perform). Where did you find prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FrankieADZ Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 have to say Im unsure about it, doesnt seem to impress me as much as the g300 did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest razzmataz1478 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 CPU also has hyper threading. I imagine that it will seem better than it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrankieADZ Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 CPU also has hyper threading. I imagine that it will seem better than it is yeah but for its £200, and i cant see ppl forking out that when they can get a g300 for £105 unlocked(brought from vodafone online then an unlock code of ebay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Davidoff59 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Definate fail even if the price does drop. Why, just why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrankieADZ Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 odds on it falls flat on its arse then have increased then? with the fail of no sd card slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coffer52 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 How locked down will it be, I suspect not much in the way of Dev support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davidoff59 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 There will be a lot of proprietary stuff I imagine. Also the first devs will be starting from scratch so wont be able to just pull stuff from github. They will be laying the foundation for a road that may not be built.

Guest Davidoff59 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Nor did it get warm in our very moderate use. We didn’t play any games or otherwise stress the processor, but did find a worrying trend from the battery life indicator. A slide from the Orange presentation specified the phone with just 1.25 hours of talktime before the battery is dead. Intel claims it will sit idle (screen on but no other functions operating) for 18 hours. Standby time in its full sleep state is said to be 14 days. In our limited trial, the battery dropped from 100% to 79% in those 45 minutes of use. Extrapolating from this, you would see around 3.5 hours (214 mins) of actual use – probably less if you tried anything more ambitious than web browsing. http://www.google.com/gwt/x?hl=en&u=http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/mobile-phone/3361281/orange-san-diego-review/&client=ms-opera-mini-beta-android&q=orange+san+diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrankieADZ Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 looks like it does have a microSD slot...just seen a tweet from Paul saying it does.....still it wont tempt me to get 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davidoff59 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thought that was the sim slot. Looks like the iPhone sim slot with a tiny hole to pop it out.Makes sense with a non removable battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jamie :) Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 An Atom in a phone is a really really bad idea, Those things get right hot! Oh dear Intel.. I think you've shot yourself in the foot. In other news, I got a G300 today! I got the update, The ringtone/notification volume didn't change much? The music sounds a hell of a lot better though! The screen is really vivid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 The chip in this phone is completely different from a standard Desktop/Laptop Atom CPU. Smaller, lower power, lower temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The author seems to be against Android anyway based on his previous work. I'll wait for proper reviews myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
