Free Line Rental Mobile

The latest Symbian Smartphone has been released on the 3g network, available in two colours:

The Nokia E71 features a 2.4 inch display and a full QWERTY keypad. It is surprisingly slim at just 10mm thick making it very comfortable to carry. This is the first time Nokia have produced anything that begins to rival the BlackBerry, and is certainly worthy of consideration by anyone looking for this kind of device.

The E71 has a built-in GPS receiver pre-loaded with the latest Nokia Maps 2.0 application, meaning it is ready to go out of the box. This is great software which not only assists in navigation, but points out the best restaurants and shops in a given area.

The E71 supports Email messaging and is highly configurable allowing the use of all the major “free mail” services, such as Google Mail, Hotmail and Yahoo. It also has support for Microsoft exchange, which would be of use to business customers.

The Nokia E71 smart-phone is equipped with a 3 mega-pixel auto-focus camera, which is a little disappointing given the fact that most phones in the price bracket now offer 5 mega pixels, but, that said the camera is perfectly adequate.

The Nokia E71 is a 3G phone with HSDPA for high speed data downloads. It also has Wi-fi connectivity, which is great for browsing the web or accessing emails when in a Wi-fi area.

This is one of the cheapest deals we have seen on PAYG and would make the ideal backup phone, or a cheap handset to give to a child. Alternatively, there is no reason why you cannot use this as your main phone if you can live without all the bells and whistled bolted onto most contract phones! The offer for £6.95 only applys on Orange Pay as You Go and is subject to purchasing £10 worth of air time, so, the total cost will be £16.95, but, you will have some credit thrown in!

The Nokia 2610 is a great little phone if you just want a nice simple communications device for talking and texting!. Personally, I still go for basic Nokia phones as I do not use the advanced features available on high end phones. Call me old fashioned, but I use my phone to make calls, and for that, this phone is more than adequate!

As you would expect from Nokia the layout and interface is straight forward and easy to use, so you should not have to spend too much time reading the instruction manual!

The 2610 is just 91g in weight and has very good battery life providing up to 15 days stand by and 5 hours talk time, it is Tri band so it will work pretty well anywhere in the world. Again, these features make it an ideal backup or emergency phone.

Despite being an entry level phone the Nokia 2610 is quite nicely styled, has polyphonic ring tones and a good sized color display.

What can we say, this phone is fantastic! It is by far one of the most stylish of the new generation of touch style phones and is absolutely packed with features.

The Samsung i900 Omnia is an integrated PocketPC / smart phone running the Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro operating system. It has a 5 megapixel camera with auto focus, face detection and integraged GPS. GPS photograph geotagging is supported, so you will know exactly where you took each photograph, a really fun, and often very practical feature.

In terms of connectivity the i900 Omnia supports 3G / HSDPA and Wi-fi for high speed downloads.

In terms of media, this Samsung is one of the best on the market with a huge 3.2 inch touch screen making it easy to use, and offering a 16:0 wide screen aspect for watching your favorite movies. This mobile even has in built motion detection and can rotate the display automatically as the phone is turned around!

You can now get the new Samsung Omnia i900 for £25 per month on some Orange and O2 tariffs!

BlackBerry have an outstanding reputation when it comes to smart phones and communication devices. There latest addition to the family, the BlackBerry Bold 9000 runs the new BlackBerry 4.6 operating system on a powerful 624 MHz processor.

As can be expected from BlackBerry the phone has Bluetooth, 2 megapixel camera, media player, web browser, media player with DivX support, a Qwerty keyboard, trackball mouse and a 3.5mm stereo audio socket.

In terms of data transfer the BlackBerry 9000 Bold suports Wi-fi, 3G, tri-band HSDPA and quad-band GSM.

The BlackBerry Bold has 1GB of internal memory (upgradeable to 8GB) for storing files music and video.

The 9000 bold also boasts integrated GPS satellite navigation with pre-installed “BlackBerry maps”.

For a limited period only you can get the Nokia 6220 Classic for £15 Per Month!

The Nokia 6220 classic is a fully equipped smartphone featuring a 5 megapixel camera (with a Carl Zeiss lens and a Xenon flash and GPS Geo Tagging) all running on the Symbian S60 OS.

The 6220 is 3G enabled with support for HSDPA allowing images and video shot on your 6220 can be uploaded on the move to a blog or photo sharing sites so your friends can always see what you have been up to on your travels!

The camera on this phone is one of the best out there, with fantastic picture and video quality (30 frames a second). The Nokia 6220 classic also has an FM radio with RDS, a good media player, an “ok” web browser, email, and expandable memory (maz 8GB).

Another useful feature of the 6220 is that you can hook it up to your TV to view your media files with the rest of the family!

The Nokia 6220 has a fully featured GPS receiver and comes with Nokia Maps 2.0 pre installed. Nokia Maps not only helps you get around… it can help you get lunch, entertainment and a range of other useful services within a given area, by identifying local shops and services!

Nokia have crammed a hell of a lot of features into this phone, but in spite of that their thoughtfully designed interface makes it very easy and pleasant to use. The keypad is also very well designed with a comfortable spacious layout and an over sized display.

The LG Viewty has been one of the most popular and best selling phones of 2008. This limited edition version of the handset is red in colour and is exclusive to Vodafine.

you can now get the The LG Viewty Red for £15 Per Month. In terms of style that has to be the most bang for your buck you are going to find anywhere.

We absolutely love this phone, we liked the Viewty anyway, it is a great touch screen phone packed with features, and, we always felt was one of the most stylish phones on the market. Certainly, there is little to rival it, other than the I Phone or the Samsung Omnia.

If you check our listings you will see we have a lot of vodafone voucher codes (enter these on the Vodafones site) listed at the moment with added incentives for purchasing this phone (as if the color were not enough) so you can be sure of finding a great deal!

If you are looking for a practical, affordable and stylish handset then you cannot do much better than the Sony Ericsson G900 Red for £25 Per Month

The g900 is not only a mobile phone, it is a personal organiser too! It has a 2.4 inch touch screen which is very stylish and easy to use, it also has an auto focus 5 megapixel camera with video image stabilisation built into it.

The touch screen even allows you to write or draw onto it with the use of a stylus meaning you can quickly take notes on it no matter where you are!

The G900 also has great connectivity supporting HSDPA and WiFi to facilitating for high speed downloads and internet use.

The Sony Ericsson K800i is one of the more recent additions to the list of handsets which are available with free line rental.

When I say more recent, I mean it has recently been made available with free line rental, as, the handset itself is an older model released in 2006. This phone has a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, xenon flash and video record, which is adequate, but, compared to later models is starting to show its age!

Of course the K800i is 3G enabled allowing fast internet access, however, these days you are probably getting a Mobile Broadband USB dongle if you are planning on hooking your laptop up to the internet.

The K800i also has an inbuilt stereo FM radio, MP3/MPEG4 player, Bluetooth, a web browser, 3D games, video player, built in hands free and an organiser.

The K800i typifies the trade off you have to accept when you take out a free line rental deal. This is a perfectly good handset, and will do more than 95% of customers will ever require it to, but, cutting edge it is not. If your friends have an N95 then they are not going to be impressed by a K800i, but, if your friends are impressed by a smart deal as opposed to the latest features, then you may be able to redeem yourself!

As we have said before, free line rental deals are a trade off, you have to take an older model in return for the cash back option the free line rental element is dependent upon.

The best bargains are always offered on the older handsets, and, as older handsets go, the K800i is hard to beat. It is a great phone with a good reputation, do not write if off just yet!

Well, that didn’t take long! Mobile broadband sticks have only been on sale for a short while, and have only really taken off in the last few months, and already it is possible to get cash back on them!

Dialaphone, Mobiles.co.uk (carphone warehouse) and Mobile Express are already fighting it out with their instant cashback mobile broadband deals!

Currently the level of cashback on offer is pretty small, between £30 and £60, but that amount is only going to go one way!

As with all forms of cashback, these incentives are a way for retailers to compete on sales of similar products. They cannot reduce the montly rental you pay to the provider. They cannot reduce the initial amount you pay to the provider. Instead, they hand back a portion of their commission, so it works something like this:

Again, this is simply a mechanism for retailers to compete amongst themselves on a product they have no control over (in terms of price).

I do not expect these deals to ever extend to the point free rental deals have on mobile phones, simply due to the fact that there is little difference in value between the modems. With a mobile, there is a huge price differential between high end and budget phones. Free rental deals take advantage of this, offering budget handsets + cash back on high cost tariffs, as opposed to giving away a free high end handset. That situation simply does not exist with the broadband modems, they are all pretty well the same… so it is likely the cashback amounts will remain relatively small.
