Pending the arrival of Nokia’s Lumia 800 in the UK, we compare the price of the Lumia 800 with the iPhone 4S price in UK. We will be looking at the best offers that are available in the market right now.
As this article is written, the Nokia Lumia 800 should have arrived in UK on Nov 16. Other than Orange, Three, Vodafone, Phones4U and Carphone Warehouse, it will be available through other choices of service providers and mobile phone retailers.

If you prefer Vodafone, the Nokia Lumia 800 is priced at £26 per month on a 24-month contract through Carphone Warehouse with the handset for free. For this you get 100 minutes, 500 texts and 250MB of data.

Phones 4U has the same deals for the Apple iPhone 4S and Nokia Lumia 800 when you sign for a 24 month Vodafone. Getting an Orange contact will be a different matter,
Through Phones 4U, the Lumia 800 is for free on a 24 month contract for £26 per month. You get 400 minutes, 3000 texts and 250MB of data.
The Apple iPhone 4S 16GB is available at £309.99 through Phone 4U with a 24 month contact with Orange. The plan comes with 50 minutes, 50 texts and 100MB of data at only £20 per month
As it can be seen, the Nokia Lumia 800 may be cheaper than the Apple iPhone 4S for most contract plans. But the Apple iPhone 4S has superior display and features like Siris, iCloud and iOS 5. Let us not forget the Apple support, constant software upgrades, Apple community and Apple App store with the variety of wonderful apps on the App store – a lot of them free too.
The Lumia 800 and iPhone 4S is available through major UK retailers and service providers. The iPhone 4S is also available through Apple’s online store.
