UK MOBILE OPERATOR Orange has revealed that it will be bringing the Intel-powered Santa Clara handset to the UK soon.
The operator has added a holding page for the Medfield phone on its UK web site, which tells us that a release is just around the corner. However, an Orange spokesperson told The INQUIRER that no specific release date or pricing details are available just yet, adding that even the phone's name is still to be revealed.
The Orange Santa Clara, as it is known for now, will feature Intel's 1.6GHz Atom Z2460 chip to provide the CPU power behind its oddly-sized 4.03in touchscreen. There's also support for HSPA+ connectivity, 16GB of internal storage, an 8MP HD camera and a bundle of exclusive Orange applications, including Deezer, Dailymotion and Orange Wednesday.
The only real downside is that the handset will launch running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, although Orange has already given the nod to an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) update.
Once it arrives, the phone will be available on both Orange pay monthly and pay as you go. If the phone is cheap enough, the Santa Clara could get Intel off to a great start in the UK smartphone market. µ
