Argos not only sell stuff for inside the home, they can also take care of your garden needs as well. If you want the perfect looking lawn then you can. There are many items available to help make your garden look the way you want it to. There are currently about 50 lawn mowers in the catalogue ranging from the cheap to very expensive, it just depends on the size of your garden really. There are also many garden power tools and garden furntiture to help you get the most out of your garden.
If your looking to keep your prized lawn in order then you will need one of those lawn mowers. The right mower depends on the lawn, and there are a few different kinds to choose from, each doing a different job. The first kind are the cylinder kind, and these give a vey close cut, and the rear rollers help to give the classic striped effect. The main problem with cylinder mowers is that they are not so good on uneven lawns, and also you need to keep emptying the front basket as it gets filled with grass cuttings, which can be a problem if you have a big lawn.
The next type are the hover mowers, and the main benefit of these are their lightweight feel, as they glide over the lawn. They are usually inexpensive and easy to move around, and are the best option on uneven lawns or banks and gradients. The blade cuts easily through grass and uneven lawns.
Rotary mowers are the next option and are the best choice for larger lawns. They do not offer as good as finish as the cylinder mowers, but they are much more durable and will last much longer. You can also adjust the blade height so you get just the right finish you want.
You can of course hire a company to take care of your lawn for you, if your garden is just too big. Many people do this and there are a whole range of companies out there with different services and prices, scotts lawn care are one of the most popular around, but you can find many local firms who come highly recommended, or of course you can just do it all yourself, it all depends on the time you have available to you.
The last kind are the petrol mowers and these are the most expensive on the market, but are the best you can get. These mowers are used for mowing large lawns, and they also give the best finish for the least amount of effort. As long as you can keep it in a straight line you will be ok. Argos sell all these types of mower from all he best brands so there is bound to be something to suit your gardening needs.

Latest argos mobile phone deals
With the argos end of catalogue sale coming up, there are plenty of bargains around, and there are some great deals on mobile phones at argos right now. You can pick up an LG KP100 Ruby for under £10, which is a superb deal as it still looks stylish and modern in all silver, even by todays standards. There are another two cell phones under £10 as well in the catalogue. The LG Ruby has over 70 customer reviews and gets 4 stars out of 5, which means you know you will be buying a decent phone at a really low price.
Another great bargain is the Samsung C300 on the orange network for only £14.69. This also gets 4 out of 5 from 36 customer reviews, and has a front sliding design, with downloadable games. Because it is so cheap argos only allow one handset per customer, but if your looking for a high spec mobile phone for peanuts then this is a good choice to go for.
If you fancy something that offers a few more features then the Samsung E250 is the most popular choice on the t mobile network. This is on sale for just £29.99 and you get a whole lot for your money. It has a built in camera with x4 zoom, a 65k colour screen, video capture and playback and is also an mp3 player. You also get bluetooth, 13mb memory and it is WAP compatible. This phone gets a 5 star rating from 34 customer reviews, which makes it one of the top argos mobile phones at the moment.
The argos Nokia 2630 is also a big seller at the same price as the Samsung E250, but with the classic nokia style that so many people love. It has virtually the same spec as well, and this also has a 5 star rating from 16 customer reviews.
As with most mobile phone deals the phones themselves usually come with a network operator already picked for you, so in the UK you have the big 4 mobile networks like orange, t mobile, O2 and vodafone. This is the same all over the world, so in the US you have big networks like at&t cellphones and in europe you have telefonica, and so on. These networks rule the market and have come under fire for their high costs, and complicated tarrifs, but recent reports suggest this system gaming will soon be at an end, which is good news for all of us.
At the other end of the price scale there are also some very expensive mobile phones at argos, such as the Nokia N96 , which is currently on sale for a whopping £587. This phone does just about everything, but the price is still very steep at the moment. The best bet is to get this kind of phone on contract, which usually means you pay a much lower price, and sometimes it is even free. But don't be fooled by this, the contract you sign up for is usually over 18 months, and the cost of the phone is built into the contract price, you don't really get anything for free these days.
All in all, argos are selling big quantities of mobile phones this year, and they offer some of the lowest prices around, but also look out for the clearance items, which usually come out when there is a catalogue change, which will happen early in the new year. This is the best time to get the best deals at argos.

For those who are perhaps a little bit difficult to buy for you need some ideas, and there are plenty of those around in the online world. For those wine lovers there are many great gift ideas, and you will find just the perfect gift this xmas.
Hampers come in all shapes and sizes, and they are very popular at this time of year. Wine hampers are even more popular and many companies give these to their staff for a job well done. Of course you can also send them to your friends and family, and i am sure you all know someone who likes the odd tipple! A wine gift basket is the perfect solution.
You can buy many different kinds of wines from different regions and countries. Many wine baskets are sourced this way, so you can have an all french basket, or an international wine basket if you feel a bit more ambitious.

Of course you can pay much more than that if you wish, and there are hundreds of fine wines out there, it all depends on your budget.
Many wine baskets can be tailored to your requirements. Most companies have set selections, for instance there are 2 bottle packs, 3,4,5 and so on, and these usually come with a pre selected range of wines. However, you can specify the wines you want in them as most stock a wide range of wines from all over the owrld. The big disadvantage with the likes of john lewis and littlewoods is that they don't do this. This is because they are catering to a mass market, and it would not be possible to deal with every request on an individual basis.
The specialised companies will do this for you, so the catalogue option may not be the best choice. Having said that, there are many different variations available online so you can still find the wine basket to suit most requirements. Most wine hampers will have a combination of red, white, rose and even champagnes, or you can just have all of one kind, depending on what your wine lover wants.
Catalogue companies thrive on people who don't quite know what gifts to get others, and so come up with useful ideas for these people. Wine gifts are just one of many, you can even get one's that come with a selection of cheeses as well. It is just another way to sell more stuff, and the catalogues love it.

Argos Home Gyms
Home gyms allow you the freedom to train your body in the comfort of your own home. Argos certainly has the largest selection of home gyms from the major catalogues these days. They have built up their product lines over quite a long time, and can offer a huge range from all the best known brands.
There are many different kinds of home gym, with various features so it is important to look into the specific details of what each has to offer before you spend your money. Prices can run into the hundreds, but there are also many cheaper alternatives and it all depends on what you need to use them for.
As a rule, the more features and pieces of equipment your home gym has, then the more parts of your body you can train. There are also many different attachments that can be added to give you more of a workout. Home gyms can come with pec decks, leg extensions, lat bars, pulleys and of course weights. There are a whole range of weights that can be added to your machine, and also single or double stack weights.
One the main problems with home gyms is that they take up a lot of space, and the more expensive your gym, the more attachments will come with it, so you certainly need to look at the size of the gym and make sure it will fit into your room before you buy. The argos catalogue tells you all the dimensions on the product pages so make a note of these and then measure the room you intend to put your home gym in before you commit to buy it.
The top end gyms can run into thousands of pounds, so if you just want a low paced workout it may be better to go for something cheaper, it all depends on your level of fitness and what you want to get out of your workout. The station is where the weight stack is found, and this is the centre of the gym, where all the resistance is created for your workout. Most home gyms have a stack pin system which allows you to increase or decrease the weight by simply removing the pin to the desired weight level. This is a quick way of increasing esisitance without having to move heavy weights. If you have been a member of a gym you will probably be familiar with this concept.
Double weight stacks allow for more than one person to use the gym at the same time, so if you want to get the family involved look for this feature. The single stack models only allow one person to train at one time. The big advantage of a home gym over free weights is that they reduce the risk of injury, and place less strain on the body parts. This is especially useful if you are a beginner, you don't want to injure yourself when you just start out. You can place your body in the correct position on the home gym and then start to exercise, starting with lower resistance and slowly building up over time.
Argos home gyms come with the one price delivery of £5.95 which when you consider the weight and size of a home gym, is a bargain. Littlewoods and John Lewis also stock home gyms among others, and their ranges are growing all the time as well. Home gyms offer a real alternative to joining a private gym, especially if you are bit wary of exercising infront of other people, this is why so many are sold all over the world, and is why the catalogues sell so many.

John Lewis Coffee Makers
Coffee makers come in all shapes and sizes, and there are literally hundreds to choose from. All the major home catalogues stock these coffee makers so it is important to know which is the right one for your needs. John Lewis have provided a buyers guide in their catalogue which helps you make an informed decision, so you can buy with confidence. The prices do vary a lot, and you can spend quite an amount of cash on these coffee makers, so you certainly want to be sure you know what your getting first.
Filter coffee makers and perculators are the most common types, and these can start in price from around £25. The idea behind the filter machines is that water drips through the coffee and settles in the pot or cup underneath. Theses cups are usually heated so the coffee stays warm until your ready to drink it. Different coffee makers have different cone filters with them. As a rule, the deeper the cone filter the better the results.
The coffee filters can be paper or permanent. The paper filters are thrown away after each use, and for this reason they are considered to be more hygenic. The permanent filters are just that, so there is less messing around, although they do need cleaning regularly to avoid build up, which can affect the taste of the coffee. This can get messy if there is quite a build up, so beware of this when choosing your coffee maker.
The perculators work the opposite way round. You add the ground coffee at the top of the machine and water in the bottom. The coffee perculator then boils the water, and the resultant steam is then forced through the filter, which in turn makes the coffee in the bottom. The longer you leave the perculator, the stronger the coffee will be, and you can actually see the colour of the coffee as it becomes darker. This allows you to control the coffee strength.
All the online catalogue sell these coffee makers, and there are others to choose from as well, such as espresso and cappuccino makers. Their popularity has grown signifcantly over the past few years, and i will review some of the more popular models in future posts, from some of the more well known brands. The coffee machine bubble shows little sign of slowing down, which is why so many catalogues are increasing their product ranges.

Argos Treadmills
The argos catalogue has a decent array of treadmills. There are currently around 33 different treadmills in the catalogue. There are two kinds of treadmill to look out for. The first is the manual kind, and these are powered by the person running on the belt to make it move round. Manual treadmills are the cheaper alternative, and are usually very basic. They can be used if you are just starting out on a fitness regime, but for more energetic workouts they are not really up to the task. It all depends on what you need, but the argos catalogue does sell a wide variety of the manual versions.
The second type is the motorised treadmill, and as the name suggests, these are powered by a motor. Because of this, they are far more expensive than manual treadmills, but they offer a much better running experience. Prices vary a great deal and it is worth the time to look at the finer details of what each treadmill has to offer.
The motorised versions usually have a digital display that tells you about heart rate, calories, distance and speed. More advanced models have programs that can include inclines to simulate hill running. The more expensive treadmills have higher top speed capabilities, some up to 20km/h. Many in the catalogue also have hand rails which you can hold onto while you get used to running, or in case you lose balance.
The cheapest argos treadmill sells for around £79 and this is the Pro Fitness folding manual treadmill. This machine does have a 4% incline ability, and there is also an LCD display to tell you your distance travelled, speed and calories burned. The big advantage of the manual argos treadmills is that they are much smaller than the motorised one's, and almost all of them can be stored flat, so you can easily use them and then store them away in a cupboard or under the table.
At the other end of the scale there is the top priced treadmill, which costs £1272, and this is the Reebok 7.5. This has all the features you would expect for this price. The speed goes to 18kph and the elevation goes to a 12% incline. There are also many programs to choose from, that will test your fitness. The problem with paying this much money for a treadmill is that if you join a gym and it costs say £30 per month, this relates to about £360 per year, and so you could run on the gym treadmill for about 4 years for the same price.
The big difference between the treadmills you can buy from the argos catalogue and the kind you find in the gym is huge. Gym treadmills are industrial, and these are the best you can get. These cost around £5000 each, and are designed for excessive use. In short, they offer the best running experience you can get. They are much more superior to home treadmills, they offer better support, better comfort, better everything.
I have looked closely at buying my own treadmill, but after looking a bit more closely i decided to join a gym and use the best equipment they offer. No home treadmill comes close i'm afraid, no matter what the manufacturers tell you in the marketing hype. However, if you just want a cheap little training tool then go for it, the argos catalogue will have something to cater for you.

Home gym equipment from argos gives you the freedom to exercise when you want, and how you want, without having to fork out for a gym membership.

Argos Catalogue Cookers
There is a wide range of cookers in the argos catalogue to choose from. The cookers come in two main varieties, free standing and range cookers. The free standing argos cookers are designed to fit into any gaps in your existing kitchen, such as between your fridge or washing machine, or contained within your kitchen units. These cookers usually have a hob, oven and a grill.
Argos stock many kinds of cookers depending on what you need from a cooker to best suit your needs. There are electric and gas cookers, as well as dual fuel cookers, which combine the best of both energy types to give you the best results when cooking. A popular choice is the electric oven and the gas hob. You can also buy double ovens, which allow you to cook two things at the same time, which is a great help if you are having a dinner party or are cooking for a lot of people.
Argos also sell single ovens with a seaparate grill so you can cook in the oven and grill something at the same time. There are also many fan assisted ovens in the argos catalogue, and these kinds of ovens allow you to cook food more quickly than conventional ovens. All the free standing ovens come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so there will always be a cooker that will fit into your kitchen, no matter how it is set out. A wide range of colour schemes also allow you to find the oven that matches your current kitchen style.
The other type of cooker is the range cooker. Range cookers are larger than the free standing ovens, and are an ideal choice for busy families who do a lot of cooking, or have people round the house a lot. Argos have many range cookers at very competitive prices, usually with great discounts so it is always a good idea to check the website for promotional offers, or clearance items.
A popular choice is the Beko free standing oven which starts in price at around £175. The great thing about modern argos cookers is the new technology in them. This Beko cookers has 4 hob rings, one rapid heater, two semi rapid and one standard heat. This is ideal for cooking things fast becuase the rapid heat allows you to reheat things much faster than a normal heating hob. Many cookers have double glazed windows so you can easily see what is cooking, and the double glazing means all the heat stays in the oven, so you do not waste any energy.
All the best brands are in the argos catalogue such as Hotpoint, Indesit, zanussi and many others. Prices vary from about £150 all the way upto £900 for the top range cookers. The dual fuel cookers are also very popular, and todays modern cookers have defrost and slow cooking features, so you can make the perfect food time and again. Electronic timers and settings allow you to switch the cooker on at any time, or go off at your desired time, so you can cook your food even if you are not home, and have it ready for when you do return home.
Todays soaring energy prices have lead to many people buying wood burning stoves. These kind of cookers rely on wood to burn in them, which in turn feeds the cooking process. They are thought to be much cheaper than electric or gas cookers. Installing wood burning stoves is not an easy thing to do, and there are many companies that specialise in this field, to make any changeover as smooth as possible. Wood burning stoves can also be used to heat your house, and this saves on central heating bills, as the burning wood powers all the radiators in your home.
There are a wide variety of wood burning stoves available on the market today, so the choice is huge, and the styles vary considerably, so it is always a good idea to look around for the best deals on the internet or at cooker showrooms. With energy prices rising all the time, wood burning alternatives are here to stay, and it will not be long before argos stock them in their catalogue, and at the best prices.
Argos also offer the connect and collect service on many cookers in their lines, and they will install your new cooker and take your old one away. This saves the hassle of having to do it yourself, or hiring a plumber for the job. And don't forget to measure the gap in your kitchen where your cooker will be going so it fits before argos come and deliver it. All the cookers in the catalogue state the dimensions on the product page, so you know beforehand what size they are. Argos constantly update their cooker prices, so be sure to check back often to see the latest deals and special offers available in the catalogue.

Argos Catalogue Cameras
Argos catalogue sell a wide range of cameras for all kinds of needs, and from all the best brands at the lowest prices. The catalogue is packed with every kind of camera you can think of, and with helpful buyers guides there is something to suit everyone. Todays digital camers allow you store hundreds of photos at the click of a button. There is no need to worry about pictures that don't come out right, because you can easily just delete them and carry on. That is the real beauty of digital cameras.
The cameras at argos are some of the best you can buy, and with digital you can just take your photos and they are then stored on a memory chip. You can then transfer these pictures onto your computer and print them off, or just keep them stored on your computer to view whenever you wish.
Cameras come in all shapes and sizes, and with different capabilities. You can be pretty sure you can buy a cheap digital camera at argos. The choice is vast so it is important to choose the right camera for your needs and requirements. Todays modern argos cameras are very small and lightweight, and are designed to be able to fit in your pocket.
Resolution refers to how clear the picture your camera will take. The digital photo your camera takes consists of millions of tiny pixels, and this is refered to as mega pixels, ie how many million pixels your camera is capable of taking. The higher this number of pixels, the sharper and clearer the picture will be. Another benefit of high pixel count is that you can enlarge photos and not lose the sharpness, so if you are looking to create photos and then make them bigger, such as printing them out on paper, then always look for the biggest amount of pixels in your potential camera.
Modern argos cameras can go upto 8 mega pixels, and at this rate of technology it is even possible to print photos out onto A3 size paper without losing picture quality. This is a far cry from the older cameras that had no way of allowing you to do this. The results were usually bad and the picture quality was even poorer the bigger you wanted the picture.
Screen size is important when choosing an argos camera. The largest screen sizes are around 5cms, and these make it easy to view what you are taking. The downside is that this large size makes the camera more bulky and bigger, which may make it more difficult to carry around. As a general rule, if you want to print pictures of sround 10cms squared a camera with 3 mega pixels will do the job. If you want to print photos upto 20cms squared then you want a camera with about 4 mega pixels. 5 mega pixels will be needed to print good quality photos upto 25 cms and above that you want to look at about 8 mega pixels. There are even argos cameras that are 10 mega pixels and above, and with this technology you can now print A3 size photos without losing clarity.
Argos also sell many cameras that have a zoom feature, almost all digital cameras allow you to do this now. The zoom let's you get closer to the action you want to photograph. The downside is that you can lose focus the more you zoom in, however, the most modern digital cameras don't suffer from a loss of clarity even when you zoom in really close.
Most cameras have a zoom lens that is retractable, this means that the zoom will automatically pop out and back in when you have finished. This allows the camera to still be compact and fit in your pocket, which always helps. The more modern the camera, the more zoom it will have, this is like magnifying the picture. There are two kinds of zoom, optical and digital.
Digital zoom enlarges the middle of the picture, so you may lose some focus on the outer edges of the photo. Optical zoom is considerd the better choice, as this uses lenses to magnify the picture and so you do not lose the clarity. Many optical zooms allow for 3 times the magnification, but the latest argos catalogue cameras allow for 5 times or even 10 times magnification.
Argos have the right choice for the right price if you look hard enough. A large selection of cameras at affordable prices mean you can always find a camera to suit your needs. Fast delivery and good customer service, and very informative buying guides mean you can enjoy the shopping experience at the argos catalogue. With prices coming down all the time before xmas, and no doubt even more prices will be slashed in the new year, there has never been a better time to get the camera you want at the price you want.

Argos Catalogue Laptops
Argos have a huge selection of cheap laptop computers in their catalogue, available to buy online or in store at their superstores. Top name brands such as Fujitsu Siemens, Hewlett Packard, Samsung, Sony and many others as well. The prices are some of the most competitive around, and there is something for everyone, no matter what your requirements are.
Modern technology has brought laptop computers to the masses, and where once they were very expensive, now they are realistically affordable for many people. The beauty of a laptop is the small size and portability, so you can just pop it into your carry case and take it with you, wherever you plan on going. The advance of technology means there is little difference between desk top computers and modern day laptops.
One important thing to remember is that it is much more difficult to upgrade a laptop than a desk computer, so you should always aim to buy the best you can, with the latest technology and the biggest memory. This can be difficult when you have a set budget, but try to push the boat out one this one if you can.
Argos laptops come in various sizes, and it is important to get the right laptop for your needs. Screen size is a factor to think about, as the larger the screen size, the more bulky your laptop will be to carry around. Weight is also important, although the latest computers are very light weight, which always helps with this point.
The top laptop in the argos catalogue shopping range is the Sony Vaio CS11Z/R 14.1. This laptop comes in a striking red colour, to give a bit of style to the user. Gone are the days of boring black or silver laptops, and there are now many colours to choose from. There is an intel core 2 duo processor, with 2.26 GHz of speed, and 4 Gb DDR2 ram, which makes this argos laptop very fast indeed. There is also a huge 320GB hard drive to store huge amounts of data such as photos, music and movies.
The screen size is 14.1 inches, and there is a multi format dual layer optical drive with blue ray, so you can experience high definition right on your laptop.As if this was not enough there is also a 128MB graphics card included. This is the latest in technology from argos, at a very competitive price of just over £900.
At the other end of the scale is the cheapest argos laptop currently on offer at just £293, and this is the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 2727 with a 15.4 screen size, which is in widescreen format, so you can watch your dvd's just how they were intended to be. There is a powerful intel celeron dual core processor, and 1.73GHz speed, which is fast enough to do the job. Memory is a 120GB, so there is plenty of room to store loads of data with this laptop. There many other features with this argos laptop to mention here, but the amount of technology now available in modern day laptops is truly incredible.
Battery life is also very important, as you don't want to get stopped suddenly when you are in the middle of doing something important, so always look out for the battery life when buying your laptop. Generally, the more expensive models have the longer battery life, so you get better results if you spend more money.
The pace of modern technology means that laptops increase in their capabilities almost every month, and what you think is the best, most advanced model when you buy, could well be way down the list in just a few months time. This is the nature of the game, so be prepared to accept this, unless you keep on changing your laptop every couple of months, which is not really an option, unless you are loaded with cash.
There are other ways to save money when buying a laptop. You don't have to buy a brand new model, there are other alternatives such as cheap refurbished laptops, which are a great way to save vast amounts of cash. Many of these are much chaeper than the original, but offer just the same performance at a fraction of the price. It is like buying a new laptop when you know where to look for these deals.
Argos also offer cheap laptops in their special offers section, and even more chance to save in the clearance section, so be sure to look out for these when you buy your laptop. Argos offer great discounts all year round on their stock of computers and laptops, and the choice is one of the best and biggest around, combined with their buying power, argos offer one of the best places to save cash on laptops.

Argos Catalogue Flat Screen Televisions
Argos Catalogue has a great selection of flat screen tv's on offer, from all the top names, with loads of different styles of tv's to suit your budget and lifestyle. Argos flat screen televisions are ideal because they can fit very easily into any size room due to their slim design, so they don't take up much room, unlike the old wide screen televisions that were heavy and very large. You can even hang a flat screen tv on your wall and be adventurous.
Argos flat screen tv's come in a range of sizes, with the smallest being around 15 inches. These small screens are perfect for use in the kitchen or in the bedroom because they are so small, and you can happily cook along to your favourite programs. At the other end of the scale are the much larger screen sizes, which can go up to 52 inches, which is just like being at the cinema.
In the middle of this are the medium size screens which are typically around 26 to 32 inches, and are the most popular choice for most people, as they give you the best of both worlds, great screen size for family entertainment, but not too big to fit in any room.
Argos catalogue have many flat screen tv's, and they usually come in two types, plasma or LCD. The big question is which is better? Well LCD tv's suffer from picture blurring if you are watching fast action, such as sports. The technology in the LCD cannot keep up with the speed that the pixels are changing, hence a blurred effect. Plasma tv's can keep up, so there is not blurring or distortion when watching programs or sports events. LCD tv's are slimmer., so they can fit into places that plasma tv's can't, but this is hardly a great advantage, you want the best picture, so the plasma is the best for picture quality above 37 inches.
Argos sell a huge range of both plasma and lcd tv's from top name brands such as Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and Philips to name just a few. One of the best deals at the moment is the Samsung 32 inch LCD flat screen tv with high definition, which is at the very low price of just £349. Integrated freeview is included, so you don't even need to buy a set top box with this tv.
Argos also has a 40 inch digital LCD tv from Samsung for £790, and this has a five star review rating from customers who have bought it. This is the top of the range from Samsung, but there is even a 50 inch LG LCD tv for less than this, at around £720.
The main benefit of flat screen tv's is that you have a wuder viewing angle, which means you can see the screen from wider angles. The old wide screen tv's did not allow this, so you had to sit infront of the television if you wanted to see a clear picture. Plasma and lcd technology means this is a thing of the past, you can still see a clear picture even at almost right angles. I own a Panasonic Viera 32 inch plasma tv myself, and this model is widely acknowledged to be one of the best tv's money can buy. This could be the reason that it has not come down in price that much, even after a few years. They are very highly sought after and recommended, and regularly top the opinion lists as to which is the best plasma tv.
Samsung are highly regarded for their lcd tv's, and there is a wide choice in the argos catalogue. If you decide to mount your tele on the wall, then there is a wide range of wall mounted brackets at argos, you can even have swivel brackets that allow you to pull your tv out of the wall and turn it to face any where you want it to, and neatly fold back into the wall to save space. A great invention which one of my friends has added to his tv experience.
Check out the argos catalogue latest deals to save even more money on flat screen tv's, or the clearance section for even better discounts. With flat screen technology moving at such a fast pace, there is always room for cheap discounts and low prices. High definition has now come along and brings with it superb picture quality, it is just like being at the cinema. Digital surround sound also adds to the cinema experience, right in your own home.

Argos Mobile Phones
There is a huge selection of mobile phones available at argos from all the main networks and manufacturers. The choice is huge and the prices are very competitive indeed. There is something for everyone, and argos can always find the right mobile phone at the right price, with the contract to best suit your needs.
There are Orange, Vodafone, T Mobile and O2 contract cell phones at argos, all with easy affordable payment plans. All the top name brands are there too, like sony ericsson, samsung, lg, motorola, nokia and many others as well. The top deal on the orange network is the orange nokia 6500 slide mobile phone, which is currently one of the top argos phone deals. The nokia 6500 is a 3G cell phone with a slider style handset, hence the name. It has a colour screen and a built in 3.2 mega pixel camera with 8x zoom, so taking photos is a breeze with it, especially when you are on the go, or need that must have picture right away. It also has a video capture and playback feature.
This handset also has an mp3 player and bluetooth capability, to make downloading and data transfer from another bluetooth enabled mobile phone a lot faster and simpler. The nokia 6500 also has a massive 20MB internal memory, so you can store large amounts of pictures and songs. And as if this was not enough you can also expand the memory with a compatible card. This argos mobile phone also has quad band radio, so you can listen to all sorts of channels.
Talk time is 360 minutes, so the battery allows for long phone calls, or internet browsing, without having to constanly re charge the battery. You can also download games and it is WAP compatible. All the phones listed in the argos catalogue have customer reviews as well, so you can get an idea of what other people think of using them, and what they will like to live with, before you part with your cash.
Argos also have a very extensive buyers guide to mobile phones which gives you all the information you need before you buy, as to what might be the best phone for you. The modern phones of today have so many features that it is always a good idea to look through the guides so you can get just the right combination that will suit your needs.
The camera phones at argos allow you take pictures on the go, and the quality of the picture you can now take with an up to date camera phone is quite remarkable, up to 8 mega pixels with the latest offerings. Many can also shoot short video clips as well, so you can have your own little short movies when and where you want. Others have built in mp3 players and radios, so you can while away the time listening to your favourite tracks. Even if you get a phone call, the mobile can stop the music, allow you to take a call, and then carry on where you left off listening to your song when the call has ended, so you don't miss the best parts. This means you do not have to mess around pressing buttons to receive the call while you are listening to your music on your argos mobile phone.
The phone designs at argos come in three main styles, with the traditional bar shape, the slider, and the clam shell. The bar shape is the shape most of us are more familair with, with a rectangular shape which has the screen above the controls, all on the same interface. The clam shell design is a fold over design, and this has the advantage of allowing for larger screens and keyboards. Another benefit of the clam shell is that it protects the screen and keyboard when it is closed, so if you give your mobile phones the odd bang and scrape you will be better off with this design becuase your important bits are more protected. The bar design is also very sturdy, and can take a bit of abuse, but not too much. This can be a good idea especially if you have bought a mobile phone for your kids, and yes there are even kids cellphones around nowadays. The screens on the bar designs often get scratched, so it is not as good as the clam shell for wear and tear. Also, with the clam shell, the keys are protected so you have less chance of accidentally ringing someone if you nudge the phone against something in your pocket or handbag.
The slider argos phones do just that, they allow the screen to slide out to the top, and this allows for much larger screens, whilst still protecting the keypad when it is not extended. However, because the screen is always visible it does mean there is more chance of scraping and scratching it, so you need to take this into account when you are thinking of the right style of phone for you.
There are phones with different screen sizes at argos to choose from, and the kind of screen you need to look at depends on what you want to use the phone for most. If you are planning o do a lot of web surfing on watching videos then you will want a larger screen size to get the most out of this. Todays mobile phones have excellent picture quality and resolution that enhance the user experience. If you want to use your phone as as personal diary or organiser then a bigger screen will be the best choice as well.
If you just want to make phone calls or do some texting, then a smaller screen size will be the best bet. Smaller screens make the battery last a longer, and so you can talk for longer as well. All mobile phones are connected to the main phone network in the UK, but some also connect to the GPRS network which allows you to send small amounts of data like e-mails. Many phones also connect to the 3G network, the most modern and high speed mobile phone connection. This is what allows you to go on the internet, and send e-mails all over the world. Bluetooth allows you to send and receive data from other bluetooth enabled mobiles and it is all free to use. Using this feature allows you transfer data such as videos and pictures between other phones very quickly and easily, so if you want to share your photos this is a great feature that will save you a lot of time.
Argos offer all the latest phones ans accessories at affordable prices. The choice is huge and the information on every type of phone and deal is extensive, so buying through argos makes the process very easy. For even more savings you can buy used cell phones as well, and the best deals can usually be found on used verison cell phones at the moment. Delivery is very fast and efficient so you can order from the catalogue with peace of mind, knowing you are getting a quality phone on time.
