Fashionably pink and modestly priced, Virgin Media has launched Nokia 6700 Slide deals for just £8.50 a month.
This is far cheaper than many mobile phone tariffs on the market – although the contract only comes with 100 minutes and 100 text messages included. When you compare this to other network deals, the price is still cheap but not generous. For example, whereas the Nokia 6700 Slide on Virgin is a snip at £8.50 a month on a two-year contract, 3 offers this Nokia for £15 a month which includes 500 minutes and 500 texts. And the £20 a month contract on Vodafone includes 600 minutes and unlimited texts.
However, considering the 6700 Slide is designed for those seeking an affordable and simple device, Virgin’s tariff is likely to be snapped up. And this is before you take into consideration the vibrant pink exterior. Are you tempted by this phone?
Although this Nokia is not in the same league as recent smartphones from the manufacturer, such as the N8 and C7, the 6700 Slide has some decent features. There is a 5-megapixel camera with flash and video – which is not bad, especially when you think back to Apple’s iPhone 3G S’s camera which had fewer megapixels and lacked a flash.
For music, the phone comes with an MP3 player and FM radio. You can email on this handset and access various social networking apps, as well as the range of apps available in the Ovi Store. When it comes to storage, Virgin throws in a 2GB memory card to get you started and the internal memory can be increased to up to 16GB.
This Nokia is also offered in pink and purple with Vodafone, and in silver with O2, Orange, T-Mobile and 3. If you like the look of this straightforward slider, you can take a look at our 6700 Slide customer ratings page to discover further details and share comments with other phone users.
