After more than a year of using the Nokia N8 as our main phone, we’re still enjoying it just as much as the day we unboxed it. And thanks to its amazing 12-Megapixel camera, there’s no other choice for us when it comes to taking photos. With some great New Year prices to be had, there’s never been a better time to buy, so we’ve been checking out the best January 2012 Nokia N8 monthly contract and SIM-free deals.
Why the Nokia N8 is still the ultimate Symbian smartphone
With its market-leading 12-Megapixel camera, unbeatable features and stunning Symbian Anna and Symbian Belle – or Nokia Anna and Nokia Belle, as they’re now called - operating systems, the Nokia N8 is by far the world’s best camera-phone and certainly one of our favourite Nokia handsets.
With the New Year now in full swing (even though we’re still trying to figure out what happened to the last one) there are some amazing offers to be had when you buy the Nokia N8 on monthly contract or SIM-free, so we’ve been checking out the best deals to help you get the stunning Nokia N8 for less.
Best Nokia N8 monthly contract deals
First we looked at the best Nokia N8 monthly contract deals you can currently find from all the main service providers. With some great prices on offer, as well as plenty of generous allowances for calls, texts and web data, it’s never been easier to bag yourself a gorgeous Nokia N8 without breaking the bank.
Orange is currently selling the Nokia N8 for £26 per month on a 24-month contract. This gets you the handset for free, along with 400 minutes of calls, unlimited texts and 250MB of web data per month, costing you a total of £624 over the full term of the contract.
T-Mobile is offering a slightly better deal at the moment, letting you grab the Nokia N8 for £20.42 per month on a 24-month contract. Again this gets you the handset free, along with 300 minutes of calls, unlimited texts and 500MB of data per month, costing you just over £490 over the life of the contract.
O2’s best deal is cheaper still, with the Nokia N8 on offer for just £18.50 per month on 24-month contract. As well as getting the handset thrown in for free, you get 200 minutes of calls, unlimited texts and 100MB of web data each month, with the contract costing £444 over the full 24-month term.
But the best monthly deal this month is from Vodafone, who is offering the Nokia N8 for a mere £15.50 per month on 24-month contract. Not only do you get the handset free, but you also get 100 minutes of calls, 500 texts and 250MB of data each month, costing you just £372 over the life of the contract.
Best Nokia N8 SIM-free deals
Next we looked into the best prices you can find for grabbing yourself the Nokia N8 SIM-free. With some fantastic offers currently available, you can easily pick up this great camera-phone at a pleasing price and then choose your own tariff or PAYG deal and frontload the cost, if that’s what you prefer.
First we popped over to FlagShipFones where we found the Nokia N8 on sale SIM-free for £316.99, with free UK shipping included in the price.
Next we checked out Play where the Nokia N8 can be bought SIM-free for an even more affordable £299.99, again with free delivery included.
Then we found that Expansys is matching Play’s prices, with the Nokia N8 also on sale for just £299.99 SIM-free, again with delivery costs included.
But perhaps unsurprisingly the best SIM-free Nokia N8 deal we found this month was at Amazon, where you can grab this great smartphone for a staggeringly low £278.49.
