Even if companies don’t spare an effort in their attempt to make a buck on the expense on crazy people that feel like spending money just like they used to, before the economic crisis, it seems that more and more manufacturers and carriers are interested in releasing affordable handsets.

Therefore, if you’re a budget-conscious type of guy, you’d probably appreciate the idea Orange came up with, to introduce a brand new affordable device, equipped with a touchscreen. Called Orange Vegas, the cell phone is a dual band GSM/GPRS and comes with a 2.4 inch TFT touchscreen display, which most probably has a QVGA resolution.

After seeing how the phone looks like, here you have the features list: 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity, MP3 player, FM radio, an internal memory of 64MB and a microSD card slot for expanding the memory with no more than 1GB. Weighing approximately 84 grams, the Orange Vegas provides up to 3 hours of talk time and up to 7 days of stand-by time.

For the moment the Orange phone can be seen on the official website of the carrier, in two different colors, black and pink, but you can’t buy it. Not yet. And even we don’t know it for sure, we can only assume that the Orange Vegas will become available in several European markets. As for the price, you can have the device on Pay as You G for only 69 Euros (meaning $92), which means this is one of the cheapest phones of its type.
