How To Choose A Cell Phone

By Norman Battleman


If you are considering buying a new cell phone, the choices available to you can be overwhelming. Prices and programs are an issue, of course, and you should try to look for one within your budget. Exactly what you need the phone for is also a major determining factor. Do you want it to keep in touch with your friends and family, or to you need it for your job? Do you like to take pictures with it?

What should you look for when deciding to purchase a cell phone? One of the most important factors should be fit - how does it feel in your hand? Are you comfortable holding it? How about the touch screen under your fingertips? Some people prefer the raised letters, while others are more at ease with the tactile screen. How about sound? Are your conversations heard clearly and not peppered with "Can you repeat that?" or "Can you hear me now?"

How often will you be using the phone? If you are more comfortable texting rather than talking, do a test run of different models and types before you decide. Some women with long acrylic nails will find it difficult to type on a tactile screen rather than a raised screen, unless they are used to typing with their fingertips. Better to find out now than be constantly frustrated every time you intend to send a text. Rewriting or resending messages is a drain of your time and energy and counter productive.

Does the phone fit comfortably in your hand? Are you going to be using it constantly or only periodically? Where are you going to keep it? Do you prefer to have it close at hand on your belt buckle or pocket, or do you stow it away in your purse or backpack? It won't be very useful if you lose messages or calls during the time you are fumbling for it every time it rings.

There is no right or wrong way to use a cell phone. It all depends on the individual user and for what purpose they intend to use it. One size definitely does not fit all, and it's a trial and error process to determine what is right for you. Don't get discouraged if you find the one you purchased turns out to be the wrong one, as most companies will allow a trade in or return, especially if you plan on upgrading your current plan or return it within 24 hours.
