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 recently announced Nokia N86 8MP builds on the N-Series reputation. It is a smart phone of a sort, combining everyday functionality of a typical mobile phone, whilst adding in extra media and application functionality into the mix to bring you that little bit extra from your mobile phone. So what is so special about the Nokia N86 then?
The main improvement is in the camera. Where the older Nokia N85 only had a 5 megapixel camera, the all new N86 8MP actually comes equipped with an 8MP camera with auto focus and a Carl Zeiss lens. We expect the picture quality on the N86 to be far superior than on the N85.
Other than that, not much has really changed. You still get the dedicated gaming keys, to make gaming on your handset that much more enjoyable. However we will wait and see if Nokia can make a success of its gaming platform(sales have been sluggish since the N-Gage).
Another feature that stands out is the toughened scratch resistant glass screen that Nokia have decided to implement. We feel that all mobile phones should come with such a screen as I for one know how quickly my mobile phone screen gets ruined whilst it is in my pocket.
The screen is a good size, measuring 2.6 inches with a resolution of 240 X 320 pixels. There is 8GB of internal storage for all your media needs, but this can be expanded up to 16GB using a microSD card. Battery life is also pretty good supporting up to 25 hours of music playback and an impressive talk time of 6.3 hours. Overall we think that the Nokia N86 is set to build on what the N85 did well and we can see nothing wrong with that.
