Orange have officially confirmed that the Orange San Francisco II will be launching later this month.

The San Francisco II is an improved version of the original , which turned out to be a surprise hit. The new version stays true to the original while improving it in key areas.

A faster 800Mhz processor has been included which should help with the move to Android 2.3, which demands more processor power. The new version of Android will instantly improved the mobile a huge amount and is enough to justify an upgrade alone.

However, the San Francisco II also has an improved 5 mega-pixel camera and 512MB of RAM. The smartphone retains the same 3.5 inch touch-screen as the original, but the whole mobile is now slimmer and more lightweight.

Orange have also added some features to improve your mobile experience including HD Voice Call for crystal-clear voice calls and Signal Boost to ensure you always have the best possible network signal.

The Orange San Francisco II will be available at the end of November and will cost just £99 on Pay As You Go with a £10 pound top-up. 3G really thinks the San Francisco II could even eclipse the original's success because it has amazing features for a mobile at this price-point.
