Newer phones are costly and older phones are... well, cheaper! Anyway, it depends entirely on what you really need. If you just want a decent slider phone with an alright usability and capability, plus if you prefer a Nokia phone, then I'd recommend the Nokia 6288.
This phone is equipped with balanced features and looks good too. It is has a slider form and its easily preferable than buying over priced designer phones with the same specs. And if you want discounts, you should compare Nokia 6288 free line rental deals that are on the Internet. Not that you'd find a deal like that on the high streets though. Also, you should follow the deal closely to get the real advantage, its a bit of a hassle but considering what you get, it is worth it. Even free Vodafone line rental discounts are worth the meticulous deal follow up.
Anyway, here are the specs and details on the Nokai 6288.
Design:
The Nokia 6288 is quite a charmer, it looks sleek and attractive. It is a slider phone, looks clean and simple. It has a 100 x 46 x 21 mm size, weighs pretty heavy in 115 grams. The weight and size of the Nokia 6288 gives it a solid feel but feels a little fragile when you hold it as the slider mechanism is a bit loose.
The phone has a bright 262k QVGA color screen in 320 x 240 pixels resolution. It's big and it displays clear images, watching videos or just viewing pictures is great. Just below the large screen is the keypads. The keypads is Nokia standard, ergonomic and easy to navigate. The four way navigation is just great and response is good when you use it. You can choose from 2 themes, black and white, both have glossy look which adds more attractiveness to the phone.
Camera:
The Nokia 6288 only has an average 2 Megapixel Camera, only has a Digital Zoom functionality and a Flash.
Multimedia:
Multimedia is pretty good with the Nokia 6288. It has a Music Player that is able to play MP3, MP4, AAC and eAAC+. The phone also has a video player, for you to enjoy viewing your movies or videos that you have taken. You can also watch online videos through 3GPP Video Streaming. The phone doesn't have an FM feature... bad news to music lovers. The Nokia 5000 has fun embedded games for you to enjoy. There are also a lot of games available for the user to download online. It is also capable of 3D games that you'd probably want to play.
Calling and messaging:
Calling your friends, family or workmates on the Nokia 6288 even in between countires is not a problem. It supports Tri Band GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900 and WCDMA 2100. However, if you're on Internet connectivity, the phone is amazingly great. It has EGPRS which allows fast data rate transfers making Internet browsing a breeze.
Fast texters will also be very pleased with the Nokia 6288. It has the all the basic messaging capability a phone should have. It can do SMS (Text Messaging) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging). It also has a predictive text functionality which is most preferred by busy texters. The keypad is exceptionally good not just on the looks, its big, easy to press and quite durable – a Nokia standard. Even if the keypad break, keypads on shops are cheap and you'll find it easy to replace.
Battery:
It kind of sucks on the memory department, it can only have 12 Mbytes of memory. It doesn't have any memory card support so don't get your hopes up. For a low feature phone, it does use more energy than we expected. It has a 4.5 Hours Talk Time or 250 Hours Standby which is just average.

Radio phone from Nokia - Nokia 5030 XpressRadio
This is the new Nokia 5030 XpressRadio. It is a music performance focused mobilephone and just as the name suggests, it is a Radio focused phone. It is made to receive Radio Frequencies effectively and efficiently making Radio broadcasts almost un-interruptible and clearly heard… still depends on location but its definitely better than your average Radio device.
Now if you’re a mobilephone entrepreneur or just a mobilephone enthusiast, you’ll easily compare this to a Sony Ericsson R series. The Sony Ericsson R series are also a Radio performance focused mobilephone. There really isn’t much of a difference on the Nokia 5030 XpressRadio and the Sony Ericsson R series. The price range is also very close to compare but I think the Nokia 5030 XpressRadio will have a lot more free mobilephone cashback offers once it is officially released. You can also check for cheap Vodafone line rental contract deals online as they are far more cheaper or rather have more discount than the ones found on the high streets.
Anyway, here’s what the Nokia 5030 XpressRadio has to offer.
Design:
The Nokia 5030 XpressRadio isn't much of looker but its decent enough to bring out on a party. It has a pretty good screen for its use, it has a 1.8 Inch TFT 65k Colour Screen. It displays 128 x 160 pixels resolution.
Messaging:
As a messaging phone, its decent enough to receive SMS messages. You can store up to 250 messages. Don't let it go that many though, it would probably slow down the phone like most of them do.
Entertainment:
For entertainment, you can play games. Although the games are classic, its still is a good past time. They are Beach Rally, Snake Xenzia and the Brain twister Soduku. You can also download games and install them on this phone.
Sound:
As you've already guessed, this is where the Nokia 5030 XpressRadio is about. The 5030 has a Dedicated Radio and Station Selection keys ready for you to press. This is where its name get it, express radio as in easy access radio... not that ground breaking huh? I know.
Anyway, its got a, of course, FM Radio for your entertainment and news source. You can also set it as an Alarm.
Calling:
When calling, the Nokia 5030 XpressRadio is just like any other low end phone. It has Dual Band, not that surprising really. As long as you're inside the UK or USA, signal isn't a problem.
Memory:
Since it doesn't have much features to even make use of a memory space except messages... this phone has a 64MB memory.
Battery:
The Nokia 5030 XpressRadio can last up to 10 hours of talk time. Long lasting, but its expected since its a low end phone after all. Not much energy consumption as it doesn't have much features anywyay except the Radio of course.
Well, that is all about this Nokia 5030 XpressRadio. If you're not into high tech stuff or just want a phone to call and send messages (except Email), then this phone is good for you. It is cheap too! (not surprising)

Promising Phone? Probably Not - Samsung S3500 Marcel
The Samsung S3500 is a mid range mobilephone. Its a stainless steel slider which is quite a beaut. However, comparing it with phones that has the same price range... the Samsung S3500 somewhat fall below standards. There's not yet a full specification for this phone though, so there might be more to it than it looks. This phone's only special feature is its safety mechanism, other than that the Nokia 6300 mobilephone easily beats this phone. There doesn't seem to be any free Samsung S3500 Marcel deals available anytime soon and I don't think we can expect much. Cheap t-mobile line rental cashback offers are abundant and maybe you can get a better deal on the Samsung S3500 Marcel than other phones will have, so try checking it out every now and then.
Anyway, here are the details for this phone.
The Samsung S3500 Marcel has a slider form, its is pretty slim an is 99.9 x 48 x 14.3 mm in size and its quite heavy since its got a full metallic cover. Because of its slim size the phone is very easy to hold and keep in your pocket, you can bring it anywhere with ease. The casing design looks a bit like the Samsung U900 Soul, so if you're interested in having the U900 but don't have the cash then you could get this phone instead.
It has a bright screen and better than earlier phones, it is a 2.2 Inch 16 Million Colour TFT Screen in 320 x 240 pixels resolution. Slide it open and reveal the keypads, they are ergonomically designed to suit your need for sending messages faster and easier.
The Samsung S3500 Marcel is more on basic all around usability, so you can expect this phone to fare well in terms of calling, messaging or multimedia. It has an good Music Player has good audio output allowing you to listen to your favorite songs without losing quality. The phone can play MP3, AAC and WMA . The phone has a MicroSD memory card so you can add more music into this phone. Its got an FM Radio too. You can watch videos and I hope it has video streaming, so we can see videos online.
Calling is efficient and comfortable with the Samsung S3500 Marcel. It has a Quad Band network connectivity, certainly is enough to have good calls and keep having good signals even in between countries. It has GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 frequencies, switching between them is automatic so you wouldn't have to worry about it.
Communication is the main purpose of mobilephones and the Samsung S3500 Marcel delivers it pretty well. The S3500 Marcel can receive and send SMS (Text Messaging) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging) as well as Email. It has predictive text too, good for those who are used to it... if not, you should see tutorials online. Trust me, its easy and it will improve your texting speed.
The connectivity of the Samsung Marcel is fast and efficient. It has Bluetooth with A2DP and USB support for convenient file transfers. This also makes the S3500 compatible to USB and Bluetooth add-on devices such as Bluetooth Wireless Headsets.
The Samsung S3500 Marcel is also a good phone if you're planning on using this phone as an Internet device or PDA. Its connectivity is powered by fast technologies such as GPRS and EDGE. This technology allows you to have a very fast data rate transfer allowing you to have smooth and fast Internet connection. This allows you to have download speeds like that of a broadband connection. You can browse the Net easier and safer using its WAP 2.0 XHTML and HTML browsers.
And as a PDA like feature, you can view documents. Formats supported are Microsoft's, they are of course Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. You can also view PDF files.
Sadly, the Samsung S3500 doesn't have a powerful camera. The 2 megapixel camera on the Samsung Marcel is just average when compared to most of today's latest phone cameras but to me, its to me its good enough for casual use. I don't think its got Video Calling because there isn't any secondary VGA camera on the front.
Well thats all for now. I think this phone will have a better price in order to be more competitive when it comes out in the UK as there are far more better phones with cheaper prices than this one.

Samsung M3200 Beat s - Superb Music Phone
Sony Ericsson has their famous Walkman series and Nokia has their own XpressMusic series, both are renowned to have the best features which assure excellent music experience up to date. Motorola is just mellow however Samsung is taking music capabilities into serious business. They already have the Samsung i450, which is a great music phone by the way, that sells quite well but Samsung is just getting started.
Introducing the Samsung Beat series, these phone are (you guessed it) music feature focused phones. You've probably seen the first one, the Samsung 3510 Beat which is pretty impressive, but what I'm going to show you in this time is the M3200 Beat s. Yes, the “s” part clearly says it's a greater phone. Seriously, it's a more hyped music phone and a great Internet device too.
