Along with gesture control, Orange is rolling out its own animated wallpapers for it Signature Android phones over the course of 2011. So what you say? Why not just use any animated wallpaper already available? Fair question, but Orange tells us these are a little bit clever, and reflect your Android phone’s phone signal or new alerts.

You see, Orange has added a new gesture control feature to its Signature homescreen, letting you open apps and shortcuts with a swipe of a letter or symbol. We got to try it out, and it works a treat. Read on for all the details.
