Looks like Carphone Warehouse wasn’t exactly overrun with orders when it announced plans to sell the Nexus S at a lofty £549 – as it’s now SLASHED the price of the upcoming Android phone to £429.99 for an unlocked, SIM-free model.
That makes much more sense. And it might now sell a few. You have to remove the insane £129.99 “Geek Squad” insurance policy at the checkout to get the new price… which makes us wonder if this was the case all along?
Nexus S monthly contract prices have been reduced, too – you’re now able to order it with an O2 or Vodafone SIM for £30 per month. It’s now priced like a normal telephone, basically. Check out the revised Nexus S packages here – click on “Handset Only” for the new unlocked price.
Thanks to readers J and Ade for the tip.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
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?
