Orange keeps rolling out more and more city-named phones. So far we’ve seen the carrier launching San Francisco, Barcelona, Monte Carlo and Stockholm phones, and now it’s time for some far-off destinations. The new device is called Orange Sydney and unlike previous models (listed above), it’s not a smartphone. Rather it’s an all-touchscreen feature phone, most likely Orange-branded version of the Samsung Star II. Heck, even if that’s some different device, the specs are the same and include things like a 3.2-inch screen, 3.2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi connectivity support, 3.5mm headset jack and so on.
We’ve no idea when exactly the Orange Sydney will start selling, but we do know it will be available on PAYG in two colors – black and white. You can check out the black version from here and the white one from here.
Not sure what to think about it. With smartphones costing less and less, I don’t quite understand who in the developed world wants to grab a feature phone instead. Any thoughts?

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
