How to pick the right cell phone

There's a few reasons you might want a new cell phone. Maybe you've had yours for 3 years, it's as big as a banana and most of the buttons don't work. Perchance you just dropped it in the toilet and your insurance policy doesn't cover water damage. Or maybe it's just too simple and you have a little extra money lying around- you want an upgrade.

Assuming you don't work for a cell phone retailer and you're not looking for a hand-me-down (which can be very hard to find, especially since cell phone carriers are in the business of making sure you can't do that, so that you'll have to belly up to the bar) you'll probably need some guidance since there are so many phone models available right now with a range of options and features.

Some of the different things you might want to think about before you even go to the store: How much am I willing to spend on a phone? Do I need a camera on it? If so, do I need a video camera? Am I going to be sending many text messages? If so, do I want to look for a model with a more expansive keyboard than the traditional 9 keys?

Once you've answered these basic questions, it might be time to narrow down your options based on brand names. Different manufacturers are based in various countries and a quick search will tell you more than enough about their professional ethics. Alternatively, you could just check out a website including cell phone news and reviews, it'll give you a list of phones to consider.

Make your decision wisely, because you'll probably have to stick with it. No one wants to buy a used cell phone, and once you've used it for a while it will be difficult to return it to the place you bought it. My advice is to take someone else's word for it. There is plenty of information out there if you look hard enough.

Also, make sure you know which models support which providers. Thats very important around where I live because certain providers are worse than others

Another feature to consider is whether or not an mp3 player will meet your needs. Now that I've had a cell phone with an mp3 player feature, i am unable to go back.

Great read mate, but I think you should have compared a few phones still .. that would have been awesome ... But really after the iPhone I don't think there is much debate left though. Yeah they are a$$holes when it comes to ringtones and other stuff coz they dont' give you any access but really they are their phone is the best .. hands down
