Get a Nokia 5800 for half price -- today -- in London

I think this is a rather smart offer for anyone who’s been admiring the Nokia 5800 Comes With Music edition handset.

Normally it retails for just under £300. But you can grab it for half price (£149.99) if you take in two old mp3 players with you to trade in.

Nice.

The catch? You need to do this before 1pm today… and you need to be one of the first 100 people. You’re in with a chance if you run…

Here are the details from the Nokia Conversations blog:

Tomorrow will see the Nokia 5800 Comes with Music edition go on sale sim free in the Nokia Flagship store, Regent Street London. To celebrate, the folks at the store have come up with a nifty little initiative, to both let people know about the new offering, but also to encourage a bit of device recycling. The first 100 people to show up between midday and one o’clock at the flagship store tomorrow (GMT) will be able to get a 50 per cent discount on the normal price of £299. The only catch, you’ll need to recycle two old devices to get the discount (and be first in the queue).

One of the two devices to be recycled can be a mobile phone, but the other has to be capable of playing music. Got an old MP3 player you no longer use? Dig it out, along with your oldest unused mobile and bring it along with £149.50 and you’ll walk out with a brand new Nokia 5800 and a year’s worth of free music downloads thanks to the Comes with Music package.
