Scarcely anyone prefers signing on multi-year cell phone contracts, but luckily several carriers have slowly started diversifying their handset offerings to include smartphones. Mobilicity has recently released the Nokia E73 and Samsung G-Touch without any agreement across Canada under $150.
The Nokia E73 smartphone efficiently allows users to mix business with pleasure. It sports a candy bar form factor equipped with a full physical QWERTY keypad. The device effectively packs in support for business email platforms like Mail for Exchange and Lotus Traveler. It includes a 5MP camera for photography enthusiasts. Users can easily configure personal profiles on a separate homescreen coupled with application shortcuts for instant accessibility.
The Samsung G-Touch proffers improved messaging capabilities for both teenagers as well as professionals. It shows off a 2.8-inch touchscreen display and includes a slide-out full QWERTY keypad for quick text input. The handset also enables owners to create customizable widgets and capture good times through an impressive 2MP camera. It further comes equipped with pre-loaded Facebook, Twitter and YouTube apps for social networking buffs.
The Nokia E73 attaches a price tag of $149.99 while Samsung’s G-Touch has been priced at $139.99. Currently available through Mobilicity stores, authorized dealers in Canada and the company’s website, these smartphones are sold without a handset tab, credit check or a contract.
