The definitive Orange Monte Carlo review

Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

The video camera on the Orange Monte Carlo is rather hamstrung with VGA as its top resolution. It's unlikely you'll want to take any videos for widespread sharing at that resolution, although they look alright when shown on the handset itself.
