If you’re in search of a new mobile, then you’ll be spoilt for choice this summer with the amazing range of handsets currently available on the Phones4u website. There’s never been a better time to ditch your old phone in favour of a new smartphone that gives you all the apps you could ever want. If you’ve never owned a smartphone before, then you’ll soon wonder how you managed without one.
You use your mobile everyday, so it’s well worth investing in one that’s easy to use and is rammed with excellent features. Whether you use your phone predominantly for work or for leisure, a smartphone can help you to undertake all phone tasks with ease and you can do so much on the move that you won’t worry about having to leave your office or staying up to date with the latest news when you’re out and about.
For entertainment purposes, the new iPhone 4 is one of the one of the best handsets that you can buy. Apple’s revolutionary phone has helped to change the face of the mobile market since the original mobile was first released. The latest offering continues to push the boundaries of mobile phone technology.
The new iPhone makes multi-tasking a dream, allowing you to listen to your favourite music, find the nearest hotel with intuitive map applications, and of course talk to and text all of your friends. When you throw in a five megapixel camera and HD video recording capability, you soon realise that the iPhone 4 packs a serious punch.
The network that you get the new iPhone on is entirely down to you. You can choose between the three major UK networks; Orange, O2 and Vodafone, that each have their own offers with a specified number of texts and minutes of calls included each month. You can also select between an 18 and 24-month contract, with promotional offers including unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi also available.
If the iPhone is the ultimate phone for leisure use, then the BlackBerry range of handsets have a good shout for being the best mobile for business. One of the latest handsets, the BlackBerry Curve 8520, has some great web exclusive deals on it, and you could even get a free 32in LCD TV as part of your contract.
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is the latest member of the family and includes similar features to previous handsets, but also features a new touch sensitive optical track pad as well. This helps to make web browsing a piece of cake, and in addition you can keep on top of all of your emails wherever you are so that you’re always in control of your business developments.
While with touch screen phones you can bring up a large qwerty keyboard, with the Blackberry the qwerty keyboard is also visible, which makes writing emails, even lengthy ones, a dream. So that you can meet all of your business needs you can even access some key applications, including Microsoft Word and Excel, as well as viewing pdf files.
It’s not all about work though, you’ve got to remember to play as well! With the BlackBerry Curve 8520 you can do just that. The two megapixel camera holds its own, while a new music player that you can hook up to iTunes allows you to listen to all your favourite songs.
If browsing the Internet at speed is a must, whether it’s to catch up with the latest business news or to check how your football team’s doing, then the BlackBerry Bold 9700 with 3G Internet is another option. With GPS built-in you’ll never have the excuse of getting lost for being late to a meeting again.
The BlackBerry handsets may not be what you’re looking from your next mobile in terms of aesthetics, but the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini certainly looks the part. The Android phone is incredibly compact but has as many features as its bigger rivals, and the simple use of widgets you can access your favourite apps with just one touch of the screen. Just make sure you don’t misplace it, as you may forget that the 88g handset is in your pocket at all!
These phones are all great contract options, but if you’re looking to rein in your spending then a pay as you go handset is still your best bet. There are some fantastic deals available that give you more for less, and you can still get your hands on a great touch screen phone.
The Samsung Tocco Lite is available for a snip over £50 online and the quality touch screen phone definitely deserves a second glance, for both its looks and features. The 3.0 in screen means that handset navigation is a breeze, and when you take into account that the mobile boasts a 3.2 megapixel camera and MP3 player, the Tocco Lite might just be the perfect phone for you.
If you’re looking for a really incredible deal then you can purchase the Nokia 1661 and still get change from a £10 note. With this phone and other great half price pay as you go handsets available online, you really can make your hard-earned cash go that little bit further.
You may even be completely satisfied with your current phone, and if that’s the case then why not just get a SIM-only and choose a monthly tariff to suit you from either the three major UK mobile networks, T-Mobile or 3.
In addition to a vast range of contract and pay as you go mobiles, you can also get your hands on a brand new laptop on the Phones4U website. You could even include a laptop, console or iPod as a free gift in your new mobile contract.
So if it’s time that you got a new phone make sure you head online, to check the handset reviews and the great deals that are available, and even take a look into the future to see what stunning new handsets are coming out soon.
