Not sure this is a grabbit but might help someone buying a phone as a gift.

Carphone warehouse are doing the Nokia 5530 ExpressMusic for £99. I think it's a great price for a wifi enabled touch screen phone. All their phones are unlocked to any network

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/NOKIA-5530-XPRESSMUSIC/PPAY

The closest price I've seen is Virgin at £149.99 and It's £179.99 on Play.com

I'm not a fan of carphone warehouse and swore never again but...I've relented and cant wait for my christmas prezzy :D

p.s. if ordering online go through quid-co for a fiver cashback

  • Definately one of the best deals for a phone with that spec in my opinion.

    Got one for me & my husband for xmas, they are now in the loft waiting to be wrapped ready for santa.

    Good spot - this has gone down in price, as it was £129.95 very recently.

    If you don't want to spend this much, try the Nokia 5130 -
    http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/NOKIA-5130-XPRESSMUSIC/PPAY currently £49.95 on Virgin (but unlocked).

    It is more basic (not touch screen etc) but has a music player with dedicated buttons, and comes with a 1GB microSD card.


    Also remember the current deal on Nokia Music Store, to get £20 free credit for downloads. See this thread ... http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2002887

    You can create more than one account for the same email address (but a different username) for muliple £20 credits !
  • also when we were looking at phones last week in carphone warehouse he said if you already have a pay as u go sim instead of getting the top up you can have £10 off, good if you have a sim only ocntract & a spare free sim lying around!

    HTH

    you dont actually get the £10 off you just dont have to pay for the top up and also if you're on o2 payg o2 will credit you back a percentage of all your top ups not sure if its 5% or 10%, thats instore though not sure if they do that online

    just to put my 2p in i had my pone stolen and replaced it with the above deal however the nice sales guy also infomed me that they were selling off the very old samsung 5030 for a £10 but could get £30 on a trade in for it:confused: i dont really know how this works and dont really care it just means i saved £20.00 thus making the price £79.99 bargin.

    this was about 2 weeks ago but still worth a check before you buy this phone.

    oh and yes it a great little phone
