These are a little more interesting than you give them credit for. They're a big step forward for budget phones - the first budget phones from SE with Bluetooth. Also they're some of the first budget phones marketed with a specific feature in mind - the R306 in particular looks like an FM radio on the backside, with a second screen, stereo speakers and external radio controls. It's like a walkman phone for third-world countries.
Also, the R306 has an *AM* radio as well, which I haven't heard of in a phone before.
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.
