Launched earlier in 2009, the LG Cookie was the first handset to bring a touch-screen phone to the prepay masses. Priced at just under £100 it represented fantastic value, and LG has already sold over two million handsets and counting, worldwide. Under-cutting the Cookie by £50, and looking to emulate its immense popularity, is the Orange Vegas. This handset may not have the Cookie’s sleek design, but its bargain price is sure to tickle those on a tighter than tight budget.
Look and feel
At first glance, the Vegas could easily have rolled off the HTC production line. It has the look of a Windows Mobile smartphone despite not running on an operating system, but that’s where the similarities end. The Vegas is easily the most compact, bijou and lightest touch-screen device we’ve handled, and is also surprisingly well made for a prepay budgeteer. If phone spotters are interested, the Vegas is essentially the ZTE X760 finished in either black or pink.
