Searching for a Good Quality, Everyday Phone?

There are a whole range of mobile phones on the market now, offering a wealth of talent, from built in cameras, qwerty keyboards and even GPS.
However, where do you turn if you are just looking for a good, old fashioned and reliable mobile – the kinds that allows you to make calls easily and that’s about it.

There are still plenty of quality handsets out there and we can recommend three, those being the Nokia 2610, Nokia 1650 and Samsung J700.

Here is a quick review of each:

Nokia 2610
A cheap and basic model with a colour screen and polyphonic ringtones.
Being from the Nokia family you can feel certain that this is a cracking handset for the price (£15 pay-as-you-go with Orange, £20 with T-Mobile).
It has a superb battery life and has excellent reception.
One slight drawback is that it is only dual band, so cannot be used in America.

Nokia 1650
Again, a star performer from the Nokia family, this is a perfect handset if you just want to make calls.
It has a colour screen, provides 8 hours of talk time from its battery and is easy to use for SMS text messages. Again, only dual band.
A bargain handset with prices as low as £15 with Virgin pay-as-you-go, £20 on Orange and T-Mobile P-A-Y-G.

Samsung J700
If you want a bargain phone which doesn’t necessarily look like a bargain then consider the J700.
This is a slider phone and is better equipped than the two Nokia’s thanks to its 1.3MP camera and web access.
It has an impressive battery life and good reception. A tri-band handset meaning it can be used in America.
Prices start from £45 with Virgin P-A-Y-G, £50 on Orange and T-Mobile.
