Following the reveal of Android 4.0 and the GALAXY Nexus smartphone just recently, Phones 4U has revealed its contract pricing in the UK.

The Samsung GALAXY Nexus is to go head-to-head in store against the iPhone 4S, with Phones 4U offering the Nexus on a two-year contract at £46 per month with a free phone.

“The GALAXY Nexus combines the full Google experience with Samsung’s superior smartphone performance, and tops it off with the latest and most innovative Android platform yet’ said Scott Hooton from Phones 4U, "We know our customers have been just as excited about the launch of the first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone as we have."

Phones 4U has confirmed the GALAXY Nexus will be available on a range of networks with the best deal seemingly the £41-a-month tariff which allows you to pick up the phone for just £29.95.

A launch date for the Samsung GALAXY Nexus has yet to be confirmed.

This tells us nothing about the cost of the phone, because it does not give the length of the contract.
£46pm over 12 months = £552
£46pm over 18 months = £828
£46pm over 24 months = £1,104

Which is it?

It's a two-year contract, I believe, therefore totalling, as you say, £1,104.

Seems a bit daft, if you can pick it up SIM free for £515. A £10 a month Giff Gaff sim on top, you've saved over £300…

£46pm over 24 months = £1,104 ===== Ridiculous, complete piss take. These silly high prices will kill these high tech smart phones if they keep going up in price. In a time when people are cutting back aggressively on their spending, you can be sure a mobile phone is not going to get priority in a spending budget.

I like my modern tech like any other person and have enjoyed my Desire HD from launch , but only had to cough up £25 per month and I get 3gb per month data, I would not spend any more than £25 per month, not today, yesterday or next year.

That is a crazy price. I'm on a sim only plan, but I need to even cut back on that - as I hardly use all the minutes I pay for…will activate my giffgaff card and top up on demand. 10 / 15 quid a month!

I just looked on the handtec site:-

Samsung Galaxy Nexus 16GB (SIM Free/Unlocked)
Our Price: £503.99
