This morning, Nokia has issued a product recall on chargers made by a third party supplier BYD.
Nokia have said that the charger recall only applied to a limited number of chargers of certain models and these models have different plugs and pins than those used in the UK.
As Mobile Fun sell both UK and European Nokia mains chargers, some of our customers may be affected by this recall and we would ask all customer who have purchased a European Nokia Mains Charger with the product code AC-3E in the last 7 months check their charger to see if it is affected by the recall.
To check if your charger is affected by the recall, please visit http://chargerexchange.nokia.com. Nokia will provide a free replacement charger for those affected.
The company said that during a routine quality control process, it identified a problem with particular chargers made by BYD. The chargers, which may have been sold with a handset or as a separate accessory, have plastic covers which could come loose and fall off, exposing the charger’s internal components and potentially posing an electrical shock hazard to the user.
Nokia have said that they are not aware of any incidents or injuries related to these chargers.

Last month Mobile Fun teamed up with Jabra to give away a Jabra Halo Stereo Bluetooth Headset worth £69.95 – all you had to do was write a review on one of the products on the Mobile Fun website.
Jabra Halo Stereo Bluetooth Headset
We’ve been through all of the entries we received and can now reveal that the lucky winner of the Jabra Halo Bluetooth Headset is Mark Plested who wrote the following review on the Seidio Innocase II for the iPhone 3G & 3GS:
“For all the people who have bought cases for their iPhones and think that the case does not do the phone justice, well here is a case for you. At last a case that not only protects your phone but aslo makes the phone look even better, the way you can see the Apple logo , not hidden like all the other cases, the feel of the case is very classy. You also get a holder for the case which the phone sits snuggly in-ward facing protecting the screen. The belt is strong, secure and very durable. All in all a superb case thats does the iPhone justice. Well worth the price.”
I spoke to Mark earlier on today and he said “I am very surprised and delighted to win this excellent product.”
So congratulations again to Mark – your Jabra Halo is on the way to you today!

Last month, I reviewed the Jabra Halo – a set of stylish compact bluetooth headphones that are completely free of wires and have dual microphones to reduce background noise during calls. Not only is the Halo great for calls, it also supports streaming music in stereo, playback controls (A2DP & AVRCP) and volume control making it a great choice for music lovers too.

We’ve just update our list of the 10 most popular handsets in July. The thing that makes our top 10 handset list different from other retailers, is that ours is not based on handset sales, but the number of our customers that use a particular phone, accessory sales and visitors to our website over the last month.
N97 Vs Hero - Which is number 1?
July has been a another big month for new releases and the biggest two handset launches were of course the HTC Hero and the Samsung Jet, but with the iPhone and Nokia N97 being release just weeks before can they beat the competition?
To see which are the most popular handsets in the UK right now, or to see if your phone makes our top ten, head over to our Hot Handsets page.

We’ve just compiled a list of the 10 most popular handsets in June. The thing that makes our top 10 handset list different from other retailers, is that ours is not based on handset sales, but the number of our customers that use a particular phone, accessory sales and visitors to our website over the last month.
Nokia N97 Vs iPhone 3GS
June has been a pretty big month for new releases and the biggest two handset launches were of course the iPhone 3GS and the Nokia N97, but with them being released halfway through the month, will either of them make the top ten?
We’ve also seen other new releases from Nokia with the 6700 Classic & 6303 Classic, Samsung released the Omnia HD and HTC released their powerful HTC Touch Pro2 – will any of them have made it into the top 10?

Mobile phones are almost a throw away item these days, with most of us upgrading our handsets every 12-18 months, if not sooner. If you’re like me, chances are you don’t want to let your old phone go, and hang on to it “just in case” you ever need a spare.
In reality though, your old handset that used to be your pride and joy is probably still sitting at the back of a drawer gathering dust and is never likely to make a call or send a text ever again. If you do ever dig it out, chances are you’ll go to do something on it that it can’t do and just throw it back in the drawer.
Well, here’s another thing you can do with it – Recycle it! Not only is recycling your handset better for the environment, but it can also be good on your pocket to, as you can actually get cash back when you send your old phone in for recycling.
Mobile phones should never be thrown in your normal household rubbish as the components in them take such a long time to break down, but knowing where to send them can be a bit tricky. For that reason, Mobile Fun are proud to announce that we have just launced a Mobile Phone Recycling Service. It’s completely free and is as easy as filling in a form and posting your phone to us – not only that, it pays you to do it!
To give you an idea on the money that you could get back, here’s a few examples of the cash back available on some of the popular phones that might be heading towards retirement.
