If you really need to buy one...(and think TEN TIMES)if you think you do..
I recommend that you choose a Nokia model..they tend to have better reception and battery life than most of the others..also since many carry Nokia models....and that they also have interchange-ability of chargers across most of their models..so you know you’re never too far away from a charger if you’re really in need and are stranded.
Also choose a basic model like a 3110/3115...go for basic functionality...calls/SMS number of phone numbers you can store...
Don’t base your decision on a model that allows you to take pictures...or send pictures..or surf the net you won’t be using any of these features and they’ll be the object of ridicule more than an object to flaunt around
Otherwise..
An absolutely obnoxious gadget...not for the reason it was invented but for the reasons it is being used...
It is...to say the least...IRRITATING when some country brute will choose to receive calls in the cinema hall or in an office meeting...LEAVE the room man!
What’s even more dangerous..there are some members of the gadget-in-your-ear tribe who pompously feel a sense of importance in their otherwise inane lives when someone chooses to place a call on their mobiles...what a waste.
And please..if you’re the proud owner of a brand new Cell Phone...follow basic decency...
1)don’t drive everyone crazy by calling them on their mobiles just to test your gadget
2)set it to a mute (vibrating)mode if you’re going to be in a public place
3)set a clean less noisy..less long-winding ring on your phone the moment you buy it and don’t experiment with new tones after that.
