UK carriers often like to elbow their way into the limelight when a rival's getting some attention. This time, [Vodafone][3]'s cutting into Orange's [Intel excitement][4] with the Smart II; an update to its [wallet-happy Android device][5] from 2011. The UK carrier even let us get some hands-on time with the pebble-sized phone. While the specifications (800MHz processor, 3.2-inch screen) aren't going to wow, at £70 (around $109) it could reel in plenty of feature phone graduates. Check out a brief hands-on video and our own impressions right after the break.
