The Samsung B130 is £4.95 from Carphone Warehouse

By on November 13, 2008 in Devices

That’s not a typo.

It is Four Pounds and Ninety-Five Pence Only.

Less than FIVE POUNDS!

They’ll be giving them away in Christmas Crackers soon.

Carphone Warehouse have launched the handset today — just in time for Christmas.

So think twice about whether or not you want a circa £900 commitment to get hold of an iPhone 3G. Perhaps you’d like 181 Samsung B130s in stead?

It does phone calling.

It does texting. It’s got a WAP browser and GPRS capabilities along with a currency converter, calendar and a voice recorder! AND it does MP3 ringtones.

Colour screen, too.

Plus it weighs just 67 grams.

Heh. Fantastic!

FIVE POUNDS? Wow.

    That's not a bad little phone for the price. I can only see it for £20, although that does include £10 airtime…

    Me too – http://shop.carphonewarehouse.com/pay-as-you-go… lists the phone priced at a Tenner- plus the mandatory GBP 10 pre-paid credit

    Just had lunch with her indoors then popped into the carphone warehouse store in Worthing. They didn't have any in stock but I ordered one. It cost £14.95 which includes the £10 credit – this I will sell on ebay probably as we already have a contract monthly sim.

    Hopefully this will last her a couple of months until the Nokia n79 comes out on the networks.

    Looks very similar to a Nokia device. I wonder how Nokia will compete with devices like this in the future.
