Looking for a rather distinctive phone that most of your friends don’t own, and you’ll certainly have cast a roving eye over the Orange Vegas device. It’s available in either black or pink, has dual-band GPRS, a 4.20 inch touchscreen display, 1.3-megapixel camera. The device is going for £48.50 ($71 USD) on a pay-as-you-go subscription.

Orange is getting ready to launch a new and highly affordable touchscreen phone, called Orange Vegas.
The handset is a dual band GSM/GPRS one that features a 2.4 inch TFT touchscreen display, probably with a QVGA resolution.
The price of Orange Vegas (on Pay as You Go) is said to be of only €69 (92 USD), which would make it one of the cheapest full-touch phones ever.
This is what the device looks like:


The rest of its specs include:
Orange Vegas is already featured on Orange UK’s website, in black and pink – although it’s not yet available for purchase. Most probably, the carrier will sell the phone in many of its European markets.

A leaked picture of the upcoming LG Xenon has appeared online, and it’s blurry, which is almost customary, if not mandatory. The device is rumored to hit AT&T’s network when it’s released. The rumored date is April 9th, so we’ve only got a short wait to confirm that. The OS of the device is said to be fairly similar with Samsung’s TouchWIZ, as it will rely heavily on Widgets. Features of the device include:
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
Dual-band UMTS/HSDPA (850MHz/2100MHz)
950 mAh battery
240 × 480 2.8-inch LCD display
3 megapixel camera
VGA camera for video calls
microSD memory card slot
100MB internal memory
Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0 and Wi-Fi connectivity
EMP U330 Lite chipset

3.2″ WQVGA AMOLED touchscreen display
Slide-out QWERTY and messaging shortcut button
3-megapixel camera with geotagging
Telenav GPS Navigator
Full HTML browser

Like the style of the AT&T Quickfire but don’t like your phones catching on fire? Of course. We all feel the same way. That’s why we’re happy to report new rumors out today that Samsung will be putting the A877 on AT&T shelves as early as March 29.
Is this the mysterious Samsung “Jackfrost” that’s been touted for release this month? Could be.
Essentially the A877 is the Eternity with a full QWERTY keyboard and AMOLED touchscreen. From the images we like what we see, so we hope this isn’t just a simple rumor from someone with good Photoshop skills.
Without further delay, here’s some eye candy and specs.

The A877 reportedly will feature:
Nice specs. Nice pics. Certainly a nice rumor overall. March 29 isn’t too far away, so we won’t have to wait long to see if this rumor comes to fruition.

Although they’re not officially announced, Motorola A455 and Motorola Evoke QA4 have already appeared in press photos.
Now we also have their main features and specs, which confirm the fact that the handsets are not high-end ones.
Let’s start with the A455.
Previously appeared as Motorola Rush 2, the device will apparently be launched as Motorola Rival A455.
We’ve already told you the phone will be outed by Verizon and that it comes with a full sliding QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen display.
The screen size of Rival A455 is still unknown, but the rest of its features include:
Like the A455, Motorola Evoke QA4 is a CDMA / EV-DO Rev. A phone, so it might become a Verizon deal as well.

Its specs include:
No word yet on when Motorola will release the Rival A455 and Evoke QA4. Let’s hope it won’t happen too late.

Alcatel mobile phones are usually entry-level, affordable ones, and the new OT-707 and OT-800 are no exceptions.
However, these two devices are definitely interesting: Alcatel OT-707 is the company’s first touchscreen handset, while Alcatel OT-800 is its first to have a full QWERTY keyboard.
The OT-707 is quite small and thin (95 x 53 x 13 mm), coming with a rounded case that brings in mind Motorola’s A3100 Surf.
Feature-wise, it doesn’t have too much to offer, but it looks nice and it seems to be a good choice for those who want a really cheap touchscreen phone.

The specs of OT-707 include:
The retail price of Alcatel OT-707 is said to be below 100 Euros ($126), but details about its availability are currently missing.
Alcatel OT-800 comes, as I already said, with a full QWERTY keyboard.



Its features include:
No word yet about when the OT-800 will be launched, but its retail price should be of around 95 Euros ($120).

Lenovo has a couple of phones up its sleeve, and they’re the i60 and i60s. If you were wondering what the difference between the 2 devices are, the i60 has a 3-inch display that is a tad larger than the i60s, which also results in the i60s having more buttons. The i60 also has a larger 1250mAh battery. These phones should be available in China sometime soon, and will feature the following features:
Dual-band (900/1800 MHz) GSM radio
Integrated media player
Built-in FM radio
microSDHC memory card slot
WQVGA resolution at 240 x 400 pixels
