The Vodafone Blue isn't a device for everyone. It certainly isn't for someone who wants a smartphone and/or isn't a big Facebook user. Essentially, this phone is targeted at the youth, who want instant social networking connectivity, but...

The premise of the Vodafone 555 is sound. It's a cheap phone for Facebook fans not keen on splashing out for a fancy smartphone on an expensive contract. The interface, although basic, does a pretty good job of splitting-up Facebook content...

With social network-'addicted' teens and a global Facebook population greater than that of the United States, bringing out an affordable PAYG Facebook-integrated feature phone should be a sure bet, in theory. But then we also know that there are...

This phone has good build quality , has decent looks, battery life that lasts for 1-2 days with average use like few hours of music and radio, some calls and messages with always on data for Facebook updates. However Wi-Fi or 3G is missing, at least...
