The Best Mobile phone contracts on the best handsets for August

August 20th, 2009 Martin No comments

As the middle of summer approaches we thought that we would compile a list of the hottest handsets on the planet right now and then tell you the cheapest contract that you can get them on. We opted for the middle ground of an 18 month contract on all handsets, although you can save even more by going for 24 or even 36 month deals, although we have no idea why anyone would want to commit for that long! So here is what we found
1) Nokia N97 deals – The hottest Nokia handset on the planet right now, we’re not sure that there is anything that it can’t do. It is a little pricey at £40.00 per month, but for that you are getting 800 minutes and unlimited texts on T-Mobile and let’s face it, a phone like this deserves a big monthly allowance.
2) Nokia 5530 deals – If you don’t want the QWERTY keyboard and want to pay about half the price of the N97, then the Nokia 5530 is the one for you. Just over £20.00 gets you a wopping 600 minutes and unlimited text messages on Vodafone. You also get the added bonus of an Xpressmusic subscription for unlimited download of tracks.
3) Sony W995 deals – Sony Ericsson have produced a superb phone here, although the camera does not quite live up to the one on the C905 (no more LED flashes please). However the music functionality is excellent. You can get the W995 for £21.00 per month with 400 minutes and 500 texts on Orange.
4) HTC Hero deals – The best Android phone out there and a true iPhone rival in our opinion. The ting is with HTC is that you always know there is something better just around the corner. However until that is made known you can get the Hero for £31.00 per month on Vodafone with the ever popular 600 minutes and unlimited texts.
5) Samsung Jet deals – Another Android phone and one that hasn’t received the marketing push it truly deserves. We love this handset and with the ever increasing amount of Android Apps available we reckon it is well worth spot number 5. 400 minutes and 3000 texts on Orange for £21.20 per month is a bargain as well.
6) Blackberry 8520 deals – The latest Blackberry to hit the shelves sticks to its well known looks and design. You know what they say, if it aint broke, don’t try and fix it and this is exactly what Blackberry have done. Our pick is the O2 deal with 600 minutes and 500 texts with £170 automatic cashback for £35.00 per month.
7) HTC touch diamond 2 deals – A very much improved version of the original touch diamond, the interface is much more user friendly and it looks great too. O2 win the day here, offering 400 minutes and 500 texts for under £30.00
8) Samsung Pixon 12 deals – For the serious mobile phone user, the Pixon 12 sports a much better camera than the original handset, but you are looking at a £40.00 per month deal with 900 minutes and unlimited texts.
I’m sure we have missed some great phones out and if you find a deal that you think should be on here, let us know in the comments section and we will let everyone know.

HTC Touch Diamond 2

March 25th, 2009 admin No comments

With all the features of an iphone, and yet slimmer and more compact build at 51 x 102 x 11mm, the HTC Touch Diamond 2 is definitely a must have for those excited by the minimal. The HTC Touch Diamond 2 has a beautiful exterior, especially the prism-like back panel. It has a sharp 3.2-inch touch-sensitive screen with WVGA (480 X 800 pixel) resolution fitted seamlessly into a sleek black casing.

The Touch Diamond 2 is way more than just a pretty package. It supports 11 audio formats, including M4A, and a whopping 7 video formats. It supports SD cards, which technically means that you can have up to 4GB (and counting) of information – photos, music, videos, and other data – all on your cell phone.

What really appeals to me is the way the product overview speaks business and personal at the same time. It arranges all conversations by person so when you look at your contacts, you have a clear history of your interactions with that person – whether by email, text message, or phone call. This is innovative and very useful, at least to me. Now I have a record of each time I contacted my bank, my boyfriend, or my broker, all neatly arranged for me to view.

Another great feature of the cheap pay as you go mobile phones is the fact that I can have all my favourite webpages pre delivered to my phone, ready for me to browse at my convenience. This saves me so much time waiting for the news to load before I duck into the subway for a train. They call this feature push-internet, and I don’t think any other phone allows you to do this yet. Plus, the new zoom bar makes browsing easier than ever before. I’m not sure if I’ll ever use my computer again!
