Another UK offer, and on this occasion, the time-limitation is “during this week” – however it is a good bargain, given you get a colour-screen, SIM-free Nokia for £24.99! MobileFun are the purveyors of this offer.
It seems miraculous that handsets are now at such a budget price – admittedly Supermarkets have been pushing prices down for a while. What I’d like to see now is where the bottoming out of prices occurs – I think (don’t quote me) that one UK Supermarket had a DVD player (another commodity) for about £18, and that was pretty much the limit on how cheap I have seen them – so do we think that Mobiles could cross that threshold too? I’m not talking about special offers or vouchers, rather just the normal cost a given unit is selling for in a shop. Who knows, we may even be there – readers if you’ve seen cheaper, whack a comment on to the end of the post!

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
