Not a particularly astounding deal price-wise, but handy in that it’s very straightforward. Carphone Warehouse is now offering an HTC Desire connected through Vodafone with 300 minutes and unlimited text messages, with no upfront fee for the handset – all for £25 per month on a 24-month contract.
The tariff page makes no mention of what the internet usage allowance might be, so you might want to clarify that before you find yourself whacked by Vodafone’s new data excess fees.
The deal’s a web exclusive, apparently, so won’t be available in physical Carphone Warehouse stores. Although we suspect if you batter a salesman with a rolled-up print-out of the tariff page hard enough and for long enough he’ll probably relent.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ May 8, 2010Well, I still do not understand why everyone is still buying phones on contracts. I moved to O2 simplicity (800 mins, 1600 txts, unlimited internet) for £20/month on contract for 12 months and got my HTC Desire from clove (£380). If you compare the amount of minutes, unlimited internet, unlocked phone and divide it by 24 months – I think I am winning the game :)
