Vodafone are a company we’ve grown to love, especially as a network, but we aren’t very familiar with their skills in smartphone manufacturing, so when we heard they were releasing a new model – the Vodafone Smart 858 – we were quite excited to see what the results would be. The network itself is reliable and one of the UK’s favourites, but can it perform to such a high standard when making their own mobile phones?
Marketed as a budget Android handset the Smart 858 is incredibly tiny and comes for an incredibly tiny price – at £70 there’s not really much you can complain about. We found the handset to be a lightweight, compact and comfortable phone, feeling great in the hand as well as being incredibly pocket-friendly.
It runs on Android 2.2 Froyo, which although is not the most recent version of the operating system, is a great addition that can provide you with the opportunity of experiencing the latest apps and games. With the addition of Froyo the Vodafone Smart is also capable of being turned into a Wi-Fi hotspot or USB dongle, which is impressive for a phone of this price, and damned near perfect for students off to university.
Of course many people will purchase the Vodafone Smart 858 on pay as you go and when they do there is a handy Prepay Manager app pre-installed on the phone that allows you to keep an eye on your credit amount quickly and simply, providing you with the correct time when you need to top-up. You can then top-up via the app, which is really handy when you’re out and about and need to send a message.
Vodafone Smart 858 gets better in every release, some may become costly but more and more mobile phones are getting cheaper. There are various ways to save money and you can get a Android phones if ever you want to buy one.
