Did you see our Nokia C5 review? We quite liked Nokia’s attempt to squeeze high-end features into a low-end blower, though we weren’t quite sure what the market for the phone was. If you think that the market for the phone might be you then look no further than our Nokia C5 review: Ultimate buyer’s guide.

Best for early adopters
If you just want to get your hands on a Nokia C5 without having to sign up for a new contract or SIM then Expansys and others are selling it in black, unlocked & SIM-free for just £149.99. If you want a little bit more of a bargain and don’t mind a change in colour, you can get the white version of the phone on the same site for a tenner less – although you may have to wait for stocks to come in, whereas the black edition is available for next-day delivery.
Best for data hogs
The C5 doesn’t do wifi, which keeps the cost of the handset down but does mean that a decent data tariff is a must. We can’t imagine many of you will be using the tiny 2.2 inch screen for serious web browsing, but for lighter use and emails, etc. we think you could do worse than sign up for a T-mobile plan for £15/month and use the free flexible booster to get unlimited internet. If you want a reasonable amount of talk time that will mean 24 months worth of contract for 300 minutes/300 texts but by paying a fiver more you can get the same deal for 18 months instead.
Best for chatterboxes
If you don’t mind slogging through a potential lengthy cashback process, Into Mobile Phones have two good deals – one for T-Mobile at £28.33 for 1200 minutes, + 500 texts the other for Vodafone at £29.72 for 1200 minutes + unlimited texts.
If that sounds like too much work, you can get the same deal on T-Mobile for £40 for 18 months.
Best overall deal
This 18-month T-Mobile deal gives you a good balance of minutes (600) and texts (500) plus a flexible booster pack that will let you choose unlimited data, cheap overseas calls or something more useful to you. £25 quid to you, mate.
