Vodafone has cut the asking price of the iPhone 4, offering a saving of nearly £225 over the course of the contract term.

The carrier is now offering the iPhone 4 8GB edition free when customers sign up for a two-year contract at £21 per month. That's down from £29 previously, equating to a saving of £223.50.

Allowances are 600 minutes and 500MB of data per month, as well as unlimited texts.

To qualify for the offer, would-be buyers need to enter the promotional code 3MHPLR at the point of purchase.

Features of the fourth-generation iPhone include a 3.5-inch super high-density retina display, a five megapixel camera with HD video recording and tap-to-focus and a secondary camera.

A dual-core processor is also on board the 9.3mm thick smartphone, as is the Apple Maps mapping software and the FaceTime video-calling app.

As with all iPhones, the iPhone 4 also offers perhaps the world’s largest choice of apps and games at the App Store.  Find out more about the iPhone 4 here: iPhone 4

O2 and Three have officially confirmed they’ll be on board for the impending launch of Nokia’s latest flagship smartphone, the Lumia 925.

The networks join Vodafone, which has already thrown its support for the 925’s UK debut in June. Customers can currently register their interest on the networks’ official websites to be informed as soon as the handset is available to pre-order.

High street retailers Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4u have also confirmed they’ll be ranging the handset and are accepting registrations on their sites to notify punters when deals become available.

Announced this week, the Lumia 925 is the first handset in the Lumia range to feature a metal casing and houses a 4.5-inch ClearBack display, a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon chipset and an 8.7-megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and optical image stabilisation.

Powered by Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system, the 925 also comes with some new software features, namely the Smart Camera mode that offers built-in photo editing and a host of shooting modes.

It’s also preloaded with Nokia HERE Maps with free driving navigation, the Nokia Music app that lets you enjoy unlimited streaming of free playlists and a mobile edition of the Microsoft Office suite for working on the move.

The Nokia Lumia 925 goes on sale in June. Pricing details are still under wraps but we expect free-phone contracts to be in the region of £30-35 per month.
