resolution? battery life?

For £670 over the contract life, I'm not filled with "ooh I must have this". In other news, my (Orange) San Francisco continues to be amazing for the price.

From Orange's description...

..."Android Honeycomb 2.3 operating system"

Which is it, Gingerbread 2.3, or Honeycomb 3.x?

It's Orange so it will be stuffed full of crap and worth about a quarter of what you actually end up paying for it. Oh and you better hope it doesn't pack up after 6 months coz you will end up paying to get it fixed.
