With talk of impending financial doom and the planet balancing precariously on the edge of the recession precipice, Carphone Warehouse has unveiled the £5 mobile phone. Well, £4.95, to be precise.
The Samsung B130 isn’t going to receive any recognition for outstanding design or give the white-coat-wearing boffins at RIM, or Apple or HTC any cause for concern. But then that’s the whole point. And you still get change from a Lady Godiva. Can’t get that in most boozers these days.
Aimed at those who still believe that you use a camera to take photographs and a phone to make calls…the compact little handset weighs in at just 67g and has a “large, practical” keypad, colour display, WAP browser, MP3 ringtones, currency converter, calendar and voice recorder.
The Samsung B130 Black is available from £4.95 pay-as-you-go from Carphone Warehouse stores nationwide and online.
