Shopping For A Cell Phone
Author: J. Kirby

I realized the other day that my two year cell phone service
contract period will be coming to an end next month. It always
excites me because this means that I will be getting for a new
cell phone with my contract renewal. Over the past six years I
have had Motorola brand cell phones. However, I am convinced
that there are better brands of cell phones available on the
market, like LG, Samsung and Nokia.

I used to have a Nokia and it seemed to be indestructible. I
even ran over the phone with a stretch cab Ford Powerstroke, and
the screen busted, but the phone would still make and receive
calls perfectly fine! On the other hand, I have seen my
Motorola phones slip out of my hands and hit the ground and
break off into pieces and occasionally have to mail them in for
a replacement unit. I do not consider myself clumsy or accident
prone, but I can assure you accidents will happen over a span of
two years.

I began my cell phone shopping with the bias opinion that Nokia
and LG are two brand names that I admire and respect through
informative word of mouth recommendations from friends and
family. As I have read consumer reviews about various phones
made by these companies, I have found that it is difficult to
make a decision. There are a few things that I value most among
the different features and functions in cell phones. Things I
consider while shopping and forming a decision of preference for
cell phones include speaker phone volume, battery life, size of
screen, sleek size, available cell phone accessories, and other
things I discover to be major points made by consumers in their
reviews.

In addition to the things I have considered above, an emerging
popular trend in cell phone usage includes Web browser and
Instant Messaging capabilities. I was very attracted to the
iPhone in this aspect because of its smooth animation and
graphical user interface for searching the Web. When I looked
at other cell phones with Web browsing capabilities I noticed
that the iPhone had a larger than average screen size, however
it is still small to me. How can you actually navigate through
Web pages with a small screen that could fit in your pocket? My
eyes are not as good as they used to be, but I can see children
loving it.

Finally, I am continuing to search for the best phone, which
balances all of my concerns for the features and Web browser
capabilities. It should be a good decision because I will have
my phone of choice for the next two years. Or I could even
choose to go with one of the cell phones offered with the pay as
you go cell phone plans. The only disadvantage to the pay as
you go cell phone plans is that I will actually have to pay for
the cell phone up front instead of paying for it by locking my
self into a service contract. Nevertheless, there are many
options out there so I am sure to find just the right cell phone
for me.
