+--[ New dumb phone at last, it cost £11.50 but came with £10 credit.
+
+
+I have been on the search for a true dumbphone for a long time now [0], the
+best I could achieve, without spending a small fortune, was running
+a Nokia 2.3 smartphone with a minimal launcher which I paid £60 for.
+
+
+Normally I try my best to get stick to older and low-tech hardware, with
+3G being turned off already by Vodaphone, Three and then EE by 2024, its
+just making that harder. On this occasion I splashed out and spent
+£11.50, technically though it was £1.50 since it came with £10 worth of
+credit, yup half the price of a overpriced coffee. On the retailers
+product page it says that £10 will be added to your basket to cover the
+price of the credit but it doesn't so the total should £11.50 instead of
+£21.50! Lets be honest though, that's still quite cheap.
+
+
+Before I tell you where, the phone in question is a Nokia 105 4G.
+Features are limited to a music player, the radio and snake - that all
+really. This is what it looks like too:

+Total belter right? Unfortunately the best place to check it out is over
+on good old http [1] protocol. It's good so far, it has dual sim so
+I was able to put in my existing simcard as well as the freebie that was
+included. It also has a slot for an microSD upto 32GB which I have used
+to load up on music.
+
+
+So where can you grab this bad boy from? Argos UK [2] go fill your boots
+while it lasts!
