Compare FREE Mobile Phones & Cheap Mobile Phone Deals :: Go Get Mobiles

Many people covet the newest cell phone, but find that the price is prohibitively expensive. However, there are a number of dealers online who offer cheap cell phones at a fraction of the manufacturer’s recommended retail price. These sites allow even those on the tightest budget to get the newest smart phone available, without having to spend a few hundred dollars. If you are interested in buying one of the newest cell phones on the market, but your budget will not allow it, consider buying a cheap smart phone online.

Many customers are aware of ways to save on smart phones through phone companies. Many offer discounts with contracts. With a one or two year contract, rebates are often available that will make most phones essentially free. This is a great option for those who are looking for a new service provider, or those whose plan is about to run out.

However, many customers wish to get a new phone before the expiration of a contract. Others may just want the phone without having to commit to a few years of expensive service. To fill this demand, a number of websites have begun to offer brand new models of phones at a fraction of the price. The best deals can be found on phones that are refurbished. This means that they have been used in the past, but all necessary repairs have been done to ensure that the phone is in good working order. In many cases, these refurbished phones were used for just a few weeks or months before they were returned and are generally as good as new.

Before you order from a site that promises cheap smart phones, make sure that they are a reliable retailer and that they offer secure payment options. This way, you know that your financial information will be safe.

Google’s Nexus One smartphone has been well received, but complaints about the search giant’s lack of retailing savvy are starting to pile up.

The latest that has bloggers clamoring: double termination fees levied by both Google and T-Mobile that can add up to a whopping $550 for customers who cancel their contract.

Even for the wireless business, that’s a large number (not to mention, more than it costs to buy an unlocked Nexus One). T-Mobile charges Nexus One customers $200 for canceling at any time in the first eighteen months of their 2-year contract.

The rub is that on top of T-Mobile’s fees, Google charges its own $350 “Equipment Recovery Fee” for Nexus One buyers who cancel their contracts in the first 120 days. That means anyone who buys the phone online with a T-Mobile contract and wants to get out within 3 months are going to have to fork over a hefty total of $550 (excepting a 14 day risk-free trial period).

In comparison, Verizon Wireless levies a prorated $350 fee- the highest in the industry- for canceling on its contracts.

A Google spokeswoman said in a statement that the Equipment Rental Fee is a way for the company to recoup the subsidy it gives to contract customers. “This is standard practice for third-party resellers of T-Mobile and other operators,” she said. A T-Mobile spokesman said that the carrier’s early termination fee is standard for its customers on contract.

This latest criticism comes on the heels of other bad news that has cropped up since the Nexus One went on sale exactly a week ago. Some customers have complained that the phone doesn’t stay connected to T-Mobile’s 3G data network and reverts instead to an older network that can make surfing the Web or watching videos on the phone excruciatingly slow.

Another target has been customer service. Google, which handles all the questions on the phone, only offers e-mail support and can take several days to respond. In response yesterday, Google said that HTC Corp.- the makers of the phone- will start providing telephone support.

Nokia N97 Mobile Phone looks like a cross between alot of different phones from the iPhone to the Google G1 Phone to the AT&T Tilt. The Nokia N97’s sports a 3.5 inch screen that dominates the whole front of the phone except for the little button on the bottom left side corner which serves as the shortcut key to the N series multimedia applications. The call and end buttons are touch sensitive.

On the top of the Nokia N97 is the 3.5mm headphone jack and the power button. The Nokia N97 is just a little larger and thicker than the iPhone. The QWERTY keypad is evenly spaced and you won’t have trouble typing nor would you have to worry about pressing two buttons at a time. The mobile phones themselves seem quite strong and stiff not easily breakable. There’s 32GB of memory, which can be expanded to an iPhone-crying 48GB, and you get Wi-Fi and HSDPA connectivity along with a 5 mega-pixel Camera.
