Orange Offer Stunning Sony Ericsson for just £40
If you are watching your pocket during 2009, but still fancy owning a sleek and stylish mobile phone then Orange may have just the deal for you.
They are currently offering the stunning Sony Ericsson T303 for just £40 on Pay-As-You-Go.
Available in two colour finishes, glossy black or brushed steel the T303 will certainly turn heads. However on closer inspection some phone fans may be disappointed by the relatively small screen, which oddly only allows you to see 9 out of 12 icons on the main menu. Pictures and wallpapers can also lack clarity.
The menu is actually in the new Sony Ericsson layout, so this phone is keeping up with developments in that area.
The 1.3MP provides photos of a good quality, which are fine for printing and sharing.
The handset does not offer email, but MMS and SMS plus voice messaging are provided. Messaging is relatively easy thanks to the large keyboard and raised keys. Added features include Bluetooth, and FM radio, a music player and USB file transfer plus 8MB of internal memory (which cannot be increased as there is no space for an additional memory card).
For the £40 price tag this cheap mobile handset seems to be more style over substance, but with such good looks you may find it hard to resist!
Nokia 2600 Classic Review
If you are looking for a cracking, value for money mobile phone then consider the Nokia 2600 Classic.
This handset is nothing new, but with fresh and funky Xpress-On covers you can change the handset to suit your mood, keeping that new, fresh look for longer. Both the front and back covers can be changed and colours range from blue to orange, from black to beige.
Nokia fans will be delighted with the standard Nokia keyboard layout, which is easy to use. The menu interface is familiar and easy to navigate and the screen is bright and functional – just as you would expect from a low price point mobile.
For added convenience, shortcut keys can be determined by the user so you can quickly access your favourite functions. One such function may be the built in FM radio, or the VGA camera (which is pretty basic). There are also pre-loaded games, such as Snake EX2, Galaxy Balls and Sudoku. Other features include a voice memo, alarm, calendar, calculator, stopwatch, currency converter and expense manager.
The lack of any powerful applications means this handset can last for up to 580 hours on standby and provides 6 hours talk time.
For around £50 on Pay-As-You-Go this cheap mobile phone is hard to ignore and will make a reliable handset for plenty of every day use.

Nokia to Launch the N97 Touch Smartphone
Just months after the release of the much-anticipated N96 Nokia has announced plans to launch the N97 in the first half of 2009.
The N97 will be the second mobile phone from Nokia to use the S60 Touch user interface and offers a full QWERTY keyboard. With 32GB of internal memory this phone looks set to be a success.
The handset has a 5MP camera with auto focus and flash, which is vastly superior to the iPhone.
Nokia is aiming to make advances in the social networking arena and will introduce So-Lo (or Social Location) through the N97. This allows the user to share their location or geo-tagged photos with others. The home screen will show your appointments and email and will also display what other people. using the So-Lo function are up to.
The N97 mobile phone supports HSDPA and Wi-Fi and will be released in the first half of 2009.
