Summer’s fast approaching (it may not feel like it, but we’re assured it is), and with it comes festival season. So which mobile phones should you take into the chaos, mud and noise? Here are five talented blowers that could be your perfect festival friends.
Best for festival pics – Sony Ericsson K850i
Sony Ericsson’s candybar superstar puts a seriously powerful digital camera in your hand. With five megapixels, powerful Xenon flash and auto-focus, plus a plethora of in-phone editing tools, the K850i is ideal for rattling off snaps documenting crazy on- and offstage antics.
Best for not getting lost – Nokia 6110 Navigator
With built-in GPS and Nokia Maps, plus the option to add any number of mapping or satnav applications, the 6110 Navigator will always know exactly where you are, even if you’ve lost all sense of direction. You can even mark your tent, so it can guide you back through the pitch black… although it can’t stop you tripping over tent ropes and falling into last night’s campfire debris.
Best for filming acts – LG KU990 Viewty
The Viewty can capture video at a stonking 120 frames per second – more than any other phone camera – and can also upload clips directly to YouTube thanks to a special built-in tool and its bullet-speed HSDPA data connection.
Best for recording sound – Sony Ericsson W810i
£89.99
Sony Ericsson’s music-obsessed mobile comes with a smart built-in voice recorder, plus a generous 512MB of integrated flash memory for storing your bootleg treasure.
Broadband from your tent – Three Mobile Broadband Huawei E220
£15 per month
Can’t leave the home comforts of the Internet when you hit the festivals? Well, bring along your laptop and hook it up to the E220, which delivers download speeds of up to 3.6Mbps wherever you are.
