TechRadar - The Orange San Diego is the first phone to arrive in Europe sporting an Intel processor, signalling a new player in a market currently dominated by ARM-based chips.
As Orange itself has no smartphone manufacturing heritage, calling on the likes of HTC, Microsoft and ZTE in the past, the San Diego has been built by Intel (through the little-known firm ODM Gigabyte), around its new Atom processor, codenamed Medfield.
Engadget - The first Intel-powered Android phone isn't the greatest, but it's a capable, competitively priced handset that might well pave the way for more impressive devices in the future.
Pocket-Lint: Orange seems to be the one mobile operator that puts the most effort into adding value and providing an interesting, and unique, range of phones. Other networks tie in key handsets - such as the Samsung Galaxy S III - to exclusive deals, but that's little more than selfish empire building that serves only their needs.
