Lots of speculation but the answers are already there.
Its made by ZTE Corp, a chinese telecoms manufacturer. Ive heard of them before.
See link.
And a video of the phone

ZTE is a well known company over there. My sister had a ZTE phone when she worked in Japan. Then a DoCoMo, the first colour screen mobile phone id ever seen sometime back in 2000 / 01.
Im actually tempted by this San Francisco, ive used Android quite alot in recent months but never owned such a device.

I won't go Android again for reasons I would rather not debate but it is a great phone for the money. Lets hope the phone itself is good.What concerns me about Orange is for £5 per month you can get 250mb of data as an extra. But only on Dolphin or Monkey tariffs(stupid names)
& if you get the free internet on top when you top up it's a paltry 100mb per MONTH. Come on Orange wakey wakey now surely you should know Android devices EAT data

I would never use such a phone as my main phone, i always prefer top end phones. So instead of debating, why not list why you wouldnt go with Android again ?

Well it still beats the ZTE Racer and Huawei Ideos, which are both pure garbage. At least by the looks of it is better than the T-Mobile Pulse and Pulse Mini, which makes the phone pretty good

It does indeed but lets hope it's reliable & of good software & hardware. Good battery life with decent performance overall. By the looks of the video the screen looks responsive

...but it looks plasticy, crap and unstable. So I'm good with a Samsung Monte instead for only £20-£30 more
even if the Monte does only have TouchWiz UI 2.0 its still better than Android filled with garbage orange branding. If I was orange I would rather price this £30 instead for its poor quality.

How does it look buggy or look unusable. It's running on similar, or better specs than last year's high end Android crowd.
Would much rather get this, wait for the brilliant XDA community to jump to it, then install a vanilla ROM than get a TouchWiz phone.
Android is the future, and it wouldn't surprise me if this phone started a wave of cheap devices.
