Orange keeps it simple with the Vegas touchscreen handset

All the basics, none of the expense

Calling, texting and access to your favourite social networks - the Orange Vegas touchscreen handset has it all, without having to pay out big to own one.

Described as 'the smallest, lightest and cheapest touch screen mobile available in the UK', the Vegas still has room for all the modern-day essentials, with a 2.4-inch screen and chunky icons offering quick and simple access to Bebo, Facebook and MySpace, while a media player with FM radio should keep your ears amused on the bus or train home. There's even room for a 1.3 megapixel camera and a microSD slot, bumping up the potential storage to 4GB from the paltry 128MB contained within.

It's everything you would expect from an entry-level touchscreen, but much more than the average PAYG phone usually offers. £48.50 gets you a Vegas in pink or black, with a £10 top-up on the Orange Dolphin tariff providing not only £10 of calls, but also 300 free texts and - wait for it - free access to Bebo, Facebook and MySpace. Sounds like a winner to us, especially if finances are tight right now.

You can get your hands on a Vegas right now, either from an Orange retailer or via the Orange website.
