Picking up a cell phone befitting your needs and personality is going to be a tough task if you haven’t done your homework. With slick and functionally sophisticated cell phones flooding the market each day, it’s advised that you weigh beforehand the pros and cons of all the offerings. Shopping websites like www.shopping.com, www.bizrate.com, www.pricegrabber.com, and www.nextag.com, let you compare prices and features from the comfort of your home, or workplace. Most cell phones either sport a clamshell design or the simple no-frills look.
Cellular service providers can be broadly classified into two, depending on the wireless technologies they use—GSM, and CDMA. Cingular and T-Mobile are amongst the leading GSM wireless carriers, whereas Sprint and Verizon are prominent CDMA carriers. The services of wireless carriers vary from region to region, and it’s better to rely on the opinion of existing consumers. Websites of manufacturers and service providers provide the most authentic information on cell phones and service plans being offered in your region. You can get a good deal by shopping online for cell phones, apart from saving precious time. However, once you make up your mind to purchase a particular model, stroll across to your nearby dealer to get the feel of the phone you’re going to purchase. Kyocera, Nokia, Samsung, Audiovox, Sanyo, Palm, LG, Sony Ericsson, and Siemens are the major cell phone manufacturers in the world.
You should be able to effortlessly work on the control buttons, especially the navigation button, with your fingers. Also, gauge the clarity of the speakerphone at maximum volume, resolution of the color display, and the user interface. People who are constantly on the move should buy a phone with Bluetooth and voice dialing. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to transfer data from your cell phone to a compatible headphone or computer. A WAP-enabled phone will let you surf the Internet on the go. Your cell phone shouldn’t die on you, even if you skip charging it one busy day. Therefore, pay special attention to the phone’s continuous talk time and standby time. Cell phones with in-built MP3 player, camera, video recorder, and FM radio can make your leisure hours enjoyable.
