NOKIA 800 LUMIA SMARTPHONE SIM FREE MOBILE PHONE (REFURB) £234.98 @ The phone outlet on eBay £224.98
The ever so popular Nokia Lumia 800 this is a good for a Sim free phone. 1 was bought recently by a collegue and it was virtually like new and its been reduced further as he paid £249.99 for his.
There is also the £4.99 delivery charge but for just under £235 for this handset without any network branding its as good a deal as there is for the Lumia 800 i believe.

Jump to unread Post a Commenthardware wise its likely windows 8 handsets will have far higher res screens, multicore CPU & GPU's, microsd storage and bluetooth 4 (low power) to name but a few ... even if by some miracle and/or hacking you can get win 8 on the win 7 handsets it will be a fraction of the experience of a true win 8 handset when they are out probably around year end
.. if you can wait probably best waiting but if you need a handset now then for these prices they are great handsets (my £150 LG optimus 7 kept me upgrading to an iphone for the last year or so its that good IMHO) .. cant wait for a win 8 phone if its mostly the same UI with better hardware and filled gaps (eg VPN for using wifi hotspots securely)
Just for information - some reports saying the Lumia range won't be getting the WP8 update;

Really is anyone's guess until later tonight.
Either way, it's still a great phone. I'm another with the Optimus 7 and I really can't fault it - does everything I need.

Whereas Nokia Care say the opposite

It's all rumour and speculation.
I understand why you say that, but it's interesting that we have an expectation that devices like this will be upgraded with major new software versions when we don't have the same expectation about most other consumer devices. What does annoy me is when they're abandoned and left insecure because they don't get things like security updates. It remains to be seen whether WP7 will continue to get security updates when v8 is released, but Microsoft have a pretty good track record for this kind of support. As an iPad (1) owner I'm irritated because it looks like there's about one year of updates left in the device before I'm left to fend for myself without any more security updates. Feature updates have already become irrelevant for the device because it slows down further with every new iOS release, so major updates aren't always all good news.

Multiple screen resolution support! WVGA, WXGA and 720p will be supported now.
The focus right now, for this fall, will be dual-core. Microsoft's main concern is efficiency and battery life.
MicroSD support.
NFC support.
WP8 will include Nokia's mapping technology built-in!
There will be offline map support, map control for devs, turn-by-turn and NAVTEQ map data.

I'm following the summit at the moment. Bar upgrade issues aside, Windows Phone 8 does look very good.

It is getting an update, to 7.8 but what that actually brings bar a new UI hasn't really been made clear. Obviously the new hardware features won't make it but IE10 etc. is unclear whether it'll come over.
As for the SoC and RAM, it's more than enough to run Windows Phone fluidly.
As for the camera, it's pretty average.
