Yes, probably. Asda is selling the Nokia 1208 instore for a tenner.

It’s PAYG, locked to T-Mobile, but if you’re looking for a backup handset to keep in the car glovebox or something you can’t really go wrong. There’s no camera, no 3G, no Wi-Fi, no MP3 player, no GPS, no touchcreen… but it does phone calls and texts, and there’s something to be said for simplicity. (It does, however, have a ‘new improved flashlight’, feature fans.)

It’s not available online, so if you want one you’ll have to get to your local Asda asap.

Back in the late 70s, the New Musical Express published a now-infamous letter from one Samuel K Amphong that asked, despairingly, ‘Where is Beatles band?’ Thirty years later, digital music fans are asking the same question.

Despite last week’s announcement of a September release for remastered Beatles CDs, the Fab Four and a handful of other high-profile hold-outs continue to occupy a small but significant gap in the online catalogues of the likes of iTunes and Spotify, preventing listeners from downloading and streaming some of the world’s biggest artists.

I’ve written about this ‘Beatles Gap’ in today’s Guardian. A generation of music fans that doesn’t buy physical records is growing up without access to the world’s most popular band. Is the Beatles Gap damaging online music, or is it just damaging the Beatles? Read more here.
