Phones 4u
Phones 4u is offering Sony Ericsson’s C902 exclusively in red on Vodafone, with 900 minutes and 3,000 texts for £40.

The retailer also has the Samsung Soul exclusively in pink, with up to £100 ‘instant cash’ on Orange’s Dolphin 35 tariff.

Phones 4u is also promoting ‘great value’ deals from 3 on sandwich boards outside its stores. For £15 per month, customers can get 300 minutes or texts with a Sony Ericsson W660i or a Nokia 6500 Slide.

Orange
Sony Ericsson’s W380i, exclusive to Orange in black, is £49.99 on prepay. The manufacturer’s latest device, the C902, comes with unlimited texts, 750 minutes and unlimited evening and weekend internet browsing for £35 per month.

Customers seeking a more modest deal might be interested in one of two £15-per-month deals at the operator’s stores: a Nokia 6500 Classic in bronze, or a Nokia 6500 Classic in black, both with 100 minutes or unlimited texts.

O2
Sony Ericsson’s C902 has now made it to O2 stores, and is free with 18-month, £35 tariffs. Another device from the same manufacturer, the W760i, is exclusive to O2 stores in yellow. It comes with a 4GB memory card, 600 minutes and unlimited texts for £30 per month, when customers sign up to a two-year deal.

Since 20 June, the operator has opened up its mobile broadband offering to non-O2 customers. People without O2 contracts or prepay handsets can now get a free dongle and 3GB of data usage for £20 per month.

And the rest...
Carphone Warehouse ‘won’t be beaten on price’, with Samsung’s J700 reduced from £49.95 to £39.95 on Orange.

Vodafone has £20 off two of its prepay handsets: Samsung’s J700 has been reduced to £50, and Sony Ericsson’s V640i is now £60.

For £15 per month, JAG customers signing up to 18-month deals on 3 can get 75 minutes, 600 texts, and a free Skypephone, and for an extra £10 the minutes will be increased to 500 with unlimited texts.

At Currys, Sony Ericsson’s K800i has been cut by £20 to £59.99 on Vodafone.
