UK: Nokia and Sagem PAYG handsets for £5 at Asda

Asda has announced Britain’s lowest priced PAYG (Pay As You Go) mobile phones deal, selling handsets for £5! Apparently it’s a “no strings” deal so you can buy just the device, without needing to buy an credit (although clearly you’d need some to make calls…..). Over 50,000 of the handset will be available at stores across the UK while stocks last, and there are a choice of four:

• Sagem My212x
• Sagem My220x
• Sagem My150x
• Nokia (NYSE: NOK) 1112

(The PAYG tariffs come from Virgin, T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) and Orange)

News, as if any were needed, that the commoditisation of mobile devices has reached astronomic levels…
