A mobile phone has become more than just a gadget it has become a very important tool for your daily needs and as such should be purchased after considerable thought. The following points need to be considered before you decide to take the plunge,
1) Talk time : what is the average time that you spend talking on the phone ? Before buying this is the single most important feature that needs to be considered (since most people buy a mobile phone for TALKING). Imagine the pain you will face by buying a phone that has got a talk time of 2 hrs when you talk for atleast 3.5 hrs a day (including 1 hr in the night free talk plan).
2) Application : What other features will you would like to have on your device, You now have choice of a host of features like SMS , Email, Internet Browsing, IM (Chatting), Notes, Appointments, Clock, Alarm, Torch, Games.
Decide on the most important features that you just cant do without.
3) Budget : How much money you want to spend on your phone has to be decided before you go to a store and ask for the features because the retailer is definitely show you the most expensive mobiles and make you confused.
4) Life time of the phone : How soon would you have to replace your phone or how soon the technology of your phone is going to be outdated. Example of this would be to buy a phone currently without 3G when one of your primary applications with the phone is to send and receive emails or Chat.
5) Where you buy the phone from : You can decide to buy from a reputed seller but before you buy from anybody make sure that you have zeroed in on the model by searching for phones online there are hundreds of sources online like phone comparator services where you can compare phones before you decide to buy. In case if he seller springs a surprise on you by showing you a model which was not in your original wishlist but seems like a great deal , take atleast a day to research about the same before deciding.
MOST IMPORTANT :
IF YOU GO TO A RETAIL STORE TO BUY A MOBILE PHONE YOU DONT HAVE TO DECIDE TO BUY IT IMMEDIATELY YOU CAN ALWAYS POLITELY TELL THE RETAILER THAT YOU NEED SOME TIME TO THINK AND WOULDNT LIKE TO RUSH INTO A DECISION THAT YOU WOULD REGRET. (Beleive me he wouldnt feel bad)
Nothing can beat a thoroughly researched buy of a mobile phone and believe me the retailer also likes a thoroughly researched customer because it saves him a lot of time trying to judge what the buyer would like to buy.
