Just two days ago, we mentioned about CarphoneWarehouse’s update to providing pre-orders for the SE K850i (only on O2 though). Well today, another one of the UK’s largest independent mobile phone retailer, Phones 4U has announced on their website that both the K850i and W910i will be available to take home from over 400 of their local high street shops as of October 12. Like the CarphonesWarehouse, they are now also offering the option to pre-order for both of these phones.

As you can see in the image to the left, the tariff for K850i offered by Phones 4U has been serviced by Vodafone which differs from that provided by the CarphoneWarehouse (O2). Read on for more on the pricing of these phones currently offered by Phones 4U…

The current tariff for the Sony Ericsson K850i on Phones 4U is abit more straight forward than some might think (which is always good!). By signing a full year’s contract, you will receive a free K850i, this will give you 500 minutes and 500 texts, all this for ?40 a month (to see how this compares with the tariff offered by the CarphoneWarehouse, see our recent post on Sony Ericsson K850i available for pre-ordering).

On the other hand, the SE W910i actually costs more than what you would expect for a Walkman phone. While the W910i isn’t yet available from the CarphoneWarehouse, we would expect this to be updated anytime later this week.

Again, because of Phones 4U’s recent issues with O2 (since April this year), they are now no longer able to offer for sale phones that come from O2. So the W910i offer will be brought to you by Orange. And actually, one good thing about taking out phones through Orange at the moment is that you can take advantage of its special offers:

• Unlimited calls to your magic number
• Unlimited texts

As you can in the sceenshot above, the tariff from Orange will include an 18-month contract, costing ?45 a month, this will give you 900 minutes and 300 texts per month.
