Phones 4U:
Phones 4U is also offering the Nokia Lumia 800 on Vodafone and Orange, but has a slightly broader choice of tariffs to choose from, for those that need more minutes and data.

Vodafone:
If you choose to sign up for the Nokia Lumia 800 directly through Vodafone, you again get a bit more flexibility of tariffs, offers and contract terms to choose from. With eighteen tariffs on offer, it’s easier to select the right contract for your needs and you can space out your payments or pay a lump sum up front. If you pre-order you'll also get £60 worth of vouchers to use over the first six months, as well as Vodafone Test Drive, which gives you three months of free unlimited internet access. The most affordable deal Vodafone is currently offering is:

Three:
Three is keeping its tariffs clear and easy, with (strangely enough) a choice of three contracts to choose from. All three tariffs offer the Nokia Lumia 800 on 24-month contract and give you the handset for free, but where Three stands out is in the stunning amount of minutes, texts and data you can enjoy. The most affordable deal Three is currently offering is:
£30 per month
