With the likes of the iPhone 4, HTC Desire HD and the newest Windows Phone 7 mobile phones demanding either high prices or a lengthy and expensive 24 month contract, is one of the many sim only deals a better way to go. The likes of O2, T-Mobile, Orange and Vodafone all offer sim only contract deals, but shop around and you might find something even better.
For example, Tesco Mobile offer a brilliant 30 day contract sim only package. For just £15 per month you get 500 minutes of talk time, unlimited texts and 500MB of data allowance. This is very appealing to many as you are not committing to a long term contract. This leaves the user free to change phones when a new one is launched and take their sim card and number with them. It also allows easy changing to another provider if a better deal comes along.
On a personal note, when the iPhone first came out I signed up for a contract and was really annoyed that a new model of iPhone came out before my contract had run its entirety. Ever since I have only ever used sim only deals and purchased my handsets elsewhere.

It seems like all HTC news lately, with HTC Corporation, a global designer of smartphones, today announcing the European launch of HTC Gratia, a rich and elegant addition to Android’s smartphone portfolio.
Combining style and functionality, the sleek and compact HTC Gratia features a seamless wrap-around soft-cover that eliminates hard edges and a five megapixel colour camera with auto focus. At just over four inches in length and weighing 4.06 ounces, it packs power thanks to Android 2.2 – the latest version of Android. 
The new HTC Pro was announced today, with a slightly smaller screen (3.6 inches) than HTC's other handsets we are being treated to. This one sports a physical keyboard though and really looks rather snazzy, whilst retaining a serious business look to it. A nice snappy 1GHZ processor should shift the pixels along at a good rate and 16GB of internal storage is pretty impressive too.
Just to much information to take in today. This time around its the new HTC Trophy, running the new Windows Phone 7 OS. Available at the end of October, the 3.8-inch touch screen offers up a nice 480x800 resolution.
HTC announced five new smartphones today, all running the new Windows Phone 7 and available late October. The Hd& stood out from the crowd for me, so here are its specifications.
