Orange Rio deals & review
Combining a QWERTY keyboard and touchscreen, the Orange Rio is an affordable alternative to the Blackberry. Starting at just £55, it includes a 2MP camera and video recording features.
The MP3 player and FM radio mean you can also listen to tunes on the move, and you can download numerous games as the Rio supports Java. All this, and it weighs just 95g, so it'll fit snugly into any handbag or pocket with ease. The low price tag means the Rio doesn't boast much internal memory, but this can be boosted to 16GB with a microSD card.
