Place reminders on your calendar and you could bag the latest Walkman phone with loads of minutes and texts plus £552 cash.

The total cost of the contract over 24 months will be just £47.76 after cash back, or effectively £1.99 per month on average.

Samsung Tocco Lite completely free contract

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 23:00:35 +0000

Amazing value with 300 anytime minutes per month to any network and unlimited texts, or choose 300 texts and virtually unlimited mobile internet. Line rental is £25 per month on an 18 month contract and all £450 can be claimed back from the retailer, Affordable Mobiles, as cash back. Effectively, the deal is completely free. You’ll need to send off your bills at months 4, 8, 12, 15 and 18 to claim cash back.

The Samsung Tocco Lite is lighter than the original Tocco and it has a larger screen, now 3 inches with a higher resolution, plus gesture lock and handwriting recognition. The interactive TouchWiz interface lets you customise your home screen by dragging and dropping the widgets you use most. The screen also has an accelerometer, turn the phone sideways and the display automatically switches to widescreen landscape mode, great for viewing movies. With a microSD card slot and an excellent video and audio player, it will keep you entertained on long journeys.

The Tocco Lite has stereo Bluetooth, allowing music and sound to be streamed wirelessly with a compatible headset. The web browser is also very good. Although with no 3G or W-Fi, it relies on GRPS, so large web pages and downloads are slower than a 3G phone. It’s still fine for moderate internet use and there’s no significant speed difference when using email, Twitter or Facebook.

The 3.2 megapixel camera has smile detection, which means it will focus and then wait until your subject smiles before taking a picture. The Samsung Tocco Lite is a fun phone and excellent value for money. It has a nice interface and good multimedia capabilities.

Nokia 1661 for only 99p pay as you go

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 23:00:48 +0000

Just 99p with free delivery, offer is subject to buying a £10 top up. Available on a choice of networks; Vodafone, T-Mobile or TalkMobile. Don’t delay as this is likely to sell out very quickly.

The Nokia 1661 is frequently one of our most popular phones. It costs less than £1 (limited stock) and it has some amazing cash back deals on contract too. There are no complicated features, it’s just the thing for people who want to make calls and send a few texts. Even though it’s an entry-level phone it does have a couple of nifty tricks. Such as a speaking alarm clock and a built-in torch. Nothing cutting edge but you will find these to be surprisingly useful features!

The Nokia 1661 has six classic Nokia games pre-loaded, including Snake Xenia, Beach Rally, Bounce and Sudoku. It would be unfair to compare them to the impressive 3D games found on high end phones, but they do have their moments and are just as enjoyable, even on the primitive 1.8 inch screen. There’s also a built-in radio and a basic wired headset is included in the box. What a wonderful little phone it is.
