So the summer is coming to an end, yet we seem to be enjoying some rare sunshine here in the UK. To celebrate this rarity we have decided to put together a list of our 8 favourite mobile phones and the best deals that are available with them. We might make this a regular feature, it just depends how useful you guys think it is. So let’s get started.
1. Nokia N97 deals – The hottest Nokia mobile phone out there right now. Yes it has a few problems, but nothing a few firmware updates will sort out. You can get a free ipod shuffle on T-Mobile with 800 minutes and unlimited texts for under £40.00 per month.
2. HTC Hero deals – Android is the way forward and the HTC Hero is the best of the lot. At £15 per month cheaper than the N97 it is worthy of the number 2 spot. You do only get 400 minutes per month though.
3. HTC Touch diamond 2 deals – much improved from the original Diamond, we really like the interface on this phone. £30.00 per month on O2 is the one to beat here, with 400 minutes and 500 texts.
4. Sony W995 deals – The best Sony Ericsson phone available in the market at the moment. You get music, camera and a sleek design all rolled into one. And for a little of £21.00 per month on Orange we think that it is a bargain.
5. Blackberry 8520 deals -No list would be complete without a Blackberry. The new 8520 is a slimmer sleeker version of the older models and we are very impressed with it. There is a deal with Orange offering £170 cashback on a £35.00 per month deal, so now is the time to grab this one whilst its cheap.
6. Nokia 5530 deals – Wow this is a cheap mobile phone. Vodafone are offering this one with 600 minutes and unlimited texts for just £21.00 per month, an absolute bargain.
7. Samsung Jet deals – The new addition to Android community has been well received and if you are looking for an alternative to HTC this one needs to be considered. Grab it O2 for £29.35 per month on O2 or £21.20 on Orange if you don’t mind cashback deals.
8. Nokia N86 deals – Gamers delight in this fabulous handset. Yes there are cheaper Nokia phones out there, but if you like to game then this one is a must. Vodafone are offering it for £31.00 with 600 minutes unlimited texts.
So there you have it our run down of the best mobile phones with the best deals. It is probably worth bearing in mind that these offer change quickly so grab them whilst they are still around.

The HTC Touch Diamond 2 is an extremely tastefully styled touchscreen smartphone from the ‘labs’ of HTC. It looks great and has a really broad range of great features.
The Touch Diamond 2 sports a really wide 3.2 inch LCD touchscreen so that you can view videos in all its glory. The resolution stands at 480×800, which ensures bright and crystal clear pictures. The touch sensitive zoom bar under the screen really helps when viewing web pages, messages, emails, documents and photos by zooming in and out of them. At 4.15 ounces, the HTC Touch Diamond 2 is extremely light as well as portable.
The intuitive interface (Windows Mobile 6.1) is fairly disappointing, but this is covered somewhat by the presence of the TouchFLO 3D interface, which is extremely touch friendly with quick access to email, contacts, and photos as well as its big icons.
The RAM of the Touch Diamond 2 is 288MB and ROM clocks up to 512 MB. The memory can be expanded through the microSD card slot.
A 5 megapixel snapper with auto focus is present to capture those special moments. The VGA video recording facility ensures that videos aren’t blurred as they usually are in phone videos. The user can view a wide range of video formats. A stereo FM radio is also present, along with a music player which supports all the popular audio formats.
The push internet technology enables saving of important parts of the web pages so that web loading is much faster.
According to the product overview, other features include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and single contact view. An ambient light sensor is available to change brightness according to the surroundings. The thickness is a mere 13.7 mm, making it slide easily into your pocket.
You can surf mobile broadband with free laptop using the Touch Diamond 2.
