Summary: The Orange Rio II has its failings, but the positives just about outweigh the negatives. 3G data, a full Qwerty keyboard and a startlingly low price make this ideal for budget buyers who want a BlackBerry-style experience.

Pro : Low price ; Great keyboard ; 3G
Cons : Touchscreen is of old resistive type ; Battery life is poor ; Slow processor

Summary: The Orange Rio has its flaws, but not many serious ones given its price. The keyboard is great, the menus are intuitive and easy to navigate, and the touchscreen isn't bad either. For £55 on a pay-as-you-go deal, it's tough to beat
Conclusion: If you happen to be checking out the Rio because it's very cheap, you might want to take a look at the extremely basic Tesco VX1 Party Phone, which is available for only £9.49. On the other hand, if you have a little extra to spend and like the Rio's...
Pro : Very cheap ; Good keyboard ; Decent touchscreen ; Intuitive menu system
Cons : Some features are poorly implemented ; Dull display
