Choosing a mobile phone was a nightmare a few years ago as there were very few models to choose from and there were damn expensive.One had to plan carefully because he or she had to invest large amount of hard earned money in it.But all that has changed now, now a days people choose a mobile phone because:
1) You want to show off in your friend circle.
2) You or your family has lots of money to spend.
3) you are someone who needs your loved ones to be
connected all the time.
4) You are someone whose job needs you to be online all
the time.
5) Emergency purposes.
6) Etc.
While choosing a mobile phone one has to consider some points such as:
If is it too expensive
Is it rugged enough to handle day to day handling
Will it fetch me a descent price when I go to sell it
Does it provide good battery life
Does it look sleek
What is its size
Does it receive signal from odd places( This also depends on Operator Service)
Does it support DUAL BAND Capability(GSM Compatible).
While there are many models to choose from, we have to again choose what suits our pocket and which would be useful for us.
Some Models are :
NOKIA 5110 to the latest 5210 (Rugged and relatively cheap and they command the market, Huge range)
Erricson (Not so expensive and somewhat rugged)
Sony (Expensive and delicate)
Panasonic (Value for money, delicate, very small range)
Alcatel (Cheap both in quality and make)
Phillips (When did it come !!!)
After much considerations and looking at our budget we go in for a model that gives you peace of mind and usability.Also keep in mind that always go for a authorised dealer, it may cost you a little more than the grey market one but it will give ou absolute peace of mind.So keep in mind all the above points and be prepared for the hefty bills that will follow for the price for being connected all the time.Best of luck and happy shopping.
