And with New Year prices lower than ever it’s never been easier to grab this sleek, gorgeous smartphone, so join us as we check out the best prices you can find online and in the high street.
Nokia 700 hands-on review – 5 things we already love
With its wafer-thin chassis, feature-packed specification and great Nokia Belle OS, the Nokia 700 was by far one of our favourite Nokia phones of 2011 and continues to be one of our most used handsets now that we’re into 2012. And with some great deals to be had, it could soon be your new favourite as well.
Best Nokia 700 monthly contract deals
As well as being one of the world’s slimmest and best looking smartphones, the Nokia 700 is also one of the most accessible handsets when it comes to monthly costs. With some great deals to be had when you sign up to a tariff, you can enjoy all this great Nokia Belle phone has to offer at a great price.
Vodafone
For example, Vodafone is currently offering the Nokia 700 for £26 per month on a 24-month contract. As well as getting the handset free, this also nets you 300 minutes of calls, unlimited texts and 500MB of web data each month, costing you a total of just £624 over the full term of the contract.
Orange
Orange is currently matching Vodafone’s £26 per month price, but instead offers the Nokia 700 on a shorter 18-month contract. Again this gets you the handset free, along with 100 minutes of calls, unlimited texts and 500MB of web data each month and this great deal will cost you just £468 in total.
O2
O2’s current prices are even lower, as you can pick up the Nokia 700 for a mere £15.50 per month on 24-month contract. You get the handset for free, as well as 200 minutes of calls and unlimited texts, but unfortunately no web data is included in the price. The total cost? Just £372 over 24-months.
T-Mobile
But the best deal we found this month is with T-Mobile, who is offering the Nokia 700 for just £15.32 per month on 24-month contract. Again the handset is free and you get 100 minutes of calls, 100 texts and 500MB of web data each month, costing a grand total of just £367.68 over the life of the contract.
Best Nokia 700 SIM-free deals
And if you’d prefer to buy the sleek Nokia 700 SIM-free, so that you can front-load your costs, choose your own provider and avoid being tied into a lengthy contract, then there are some equally great deals to be had on these stylish Nokia Belle handsets when you buy from leading online retailers.
First we found the Nokia 700 SIM-free for just £274.99 at Play, with the handset available with free delivery included.
Next we found the Nokia 700 SIM-free in sleek and stylish black/grey for an even lower £269.99 at King Of Gadgets.
And Amazon has an even better price at the moment, selling the Nokia 700 SIM-free for a fantastic £254.99.
But Expansys has the best Nokia 700 SIM-free price this month, selling the gorgeous Nokia Belle handset for an unbeatable £229.99 with free shipping included.
There’s really never been a better time to buy the Nokia 700, so if you’re in the market for a sleek, great-looking handset that does everything you want from a smartphone while slipping neatly into your pocket, then why not give the Nokia 700 a try today? We love ours, so we’re sure you’ll love it just as much.
