Phones that are sim free are a little thin on the ground for those contract phone owners who either have their phone lost, broken or stolen. Whilst a new smartphone might have made a contract worthwhile, the subsequent loss of the phone can be a blow, in the event of needing to wait until the end of a 24 month contract to receive the latest technology, rather than a cheaper backup phone. However, LG have decided to offer a helping hand to these unlucky souls. They announced last month that they would be offering their latest model, the LG E906 for around the £200 mark, a good £100-£200 cheaper than their HTC and Nokia sim free rivals.
Windows phones have received positive reviews, but little hype from the general public, which suggests that this latest price drop on the sim free price point could be a tactic to attempt to win the public to the Windows phone mentality. Its hardware is not cutting edge, featuring a 1ghz processor and not featuring a front facing camera, but matches its more expensive competition in the Nokia Lumia.
Since the Christmas sales and the subsequent January sales, the Jil Sander has not flown off the shelves. This could be down to the lack of “fashionability” of the windows phones, or the distinctly average reviews the phone got for its lack of innovation or cutting edge features. However, it does still exist as a suitable replacement phone for anyone wishing to replace their contract phone, or purchase as a gift without needing a contract.
