What I want from a Mobile Phone
When you have chosen your network provider it can be a royal pain in the proverbial sifting through all the handsets available. Everywhere you look there is media telling you which phone to choose. Television, magazines, billboards, radio. And of course your friends are always there with the reasons why THEIR mobile phone is the best there is because it has the latest cool ring tone on it.
The main decision is what you want the most from your contract phones. This means (and this is very important) what you want your mobile phone for the most. The secondary elements of choice are what you desire the phone to do.
This is my list of what I expect from my mobile phone:
1. Receive and make calls (obviously!)
2. Receive and send texts/MMS
3. Access the WWW…ok I’ll settle for free web search
4. Take some lovely photographs (on mad nights out which can be posted to MySpace with the main aim of embarrasing your mates)
5. Not charge me extra for doing all the above
6. Not dial people by accident when I’m in my car privately singing (badly) to (bad) songs on the radio
7. Not resemble a brick
8. Not look lik a credit card
9. Not require re-charging after a half hour phone call
What I desire from my mobile phone is to watch YouTube videos. But that said I wouldn’t sacrifice my essentials to be able to do those and wouldn’t pay the earth for them either. I do use a PC at home and I doubt my mates at the pub would appreciate me sitting in the corner watching catch up TV on my mobile phone.
There are several good mobile phone handsets looking around and to be honest it is the leading providers that I prefer to use if only for their wide range of handsets. But they also provide the best service when it comes down to it and they do have the best and most efficient customer care (although some people’s experiences may beg to differ!). My top preferred phone network and handset suppliers are:
3 mobile – Get the latest 3G mobile phones, the best in mobile content and services like mobile TV, music downloads and mobile Internet, and connect to the Internet with Mobile broadband.
Nokia – Wide range of mobile phone handsets and contract deals and of course the full range of Nokia phones the moment they come onto the market.
