If you’re in the UK and crave the recently announced Huawei Nexus 6P, starting today you have a new option for pre-ordering it. Vodafone will readily take your cash if you don’t mind having it as your operator of choice.

What’s more, it’s even throwing in a free tablet for each pre-order. It’s the Huawei MediaPad T1 7.0 which you’ll get for free. This comes with a 7-inch 1,024×600 touchscreen, a pair of 2 MP cameras (one on the front, one on the back), the Spreadtrum SC7731G SoC with a 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable storage, and a 4,100 mAh battery. It runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Emotion UI 3.0 on top.

Of course it’s not a high-end offering then, but it is free after all. The Nexus 6P can be had for £9 upfront, with Vodafone contracts starting at £35 per month. This cheapest option has 1,000 minutes, unlimited texts, and 1GB of data. At the other end of the spectrum, for a whopping £61 per month you receive unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 25GB of data. Obviously there are many more choices to pick from. Deliveries are expected to start on October 29.

Samsung has partnered with Montblanc and Swarovski to bring you some exquisite accessories for the Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+.

Last year, Montblanc made two special pens for the Galaxy Note 4, and now it’s introduced a third model, made for the Note5. It’s called Starwalker Urban Speed Screenwriter. It has all the functionality of Samsung’s own S Pen, but in Montblanc’s unique style.

Montblanc is also behind the line of premium cases you can see pictured above. The collection includes two leather covers for the S6 edge+, two for the Note5, two flip wallets with a pocket for the S6 edge+, and two flip covers without a pocket for the Note5.

Samsung and Montblanc have even made a limited edition run of hard-shell covers with handmade tattoos on them. These are made to fit the Note5 and S6 edge+, and they were designed by tattoo artist Mo Coppoletta. They will be out at the end of the month.

Swarovski for Samsung is a lineup of new covers for the Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ made by the famous glass and crystals producer. The covers feature more than 1,300 crystals. Swarovski is also prepping a premium case that will be part of its Edelweiss collection, which will be out in November for the S6 edge+. This will use fine crystals on a transparent case, and will be available online in select countries only.

As a final note, don’t expect any of these products to be even remotely…

At its big event on October 6, Microsoft unveiled a pair of flagship smartphones as well as a more affordable handset. That latter model is the Lumia 550, and it’s the one that should bring Windows 10 Mobile to the masses.

It turns out it may start doing that in the very near future, since it’s already up for pre-order in France. Amazon’s local arm is listing the device in white and black, priced at €129.90. Unfortunately a shipping date isn’t mentioned yet, but the retailer does say that the phone will be available soon.

We assume the Lumia 550 will slowly be put up for pre-order in more European countries in the following days, and hopefully its release is actually near.

The Microsoft Lumia 550 has a 4.7-inch 720p touchscreen, a 5 MP rear camera with LED flash, a 2 MP selfie shooter, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 chipset at the helm (with a 1.1 GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU), 1GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable storage, and a 2,100 mAh battery.
