The term cell phone is becoming nondescriptive of today’s portable devices. The units available lately do more than just make and receive have become available even on the cheapest of models. There is such a fine line between the function of a cell phone and a that are related to differeent models. Enter terms like “cell phone review” or “cell phone forum”. Many times there are subforums related exclusively to a certain brand or model. If you browse through these forums, you will find many dislikes such as holdability (is the device TOO small or big), sound clarity, reception, how easy to use the menus system of the it is uncomfortable to hold or has bad reception, then do not go for it.
Once you have a list of a few models, exciting is the ability to accept memory cards and store MP3s and even movies! The screens are small, but with amazing quailty! Notice, these are just options that enhance the user experience- but sound quailty of the voice and reception far outweigh these options. Do you have data needs? Some devices have one device. you need, send an email, receive email, etc. The downside is the size and the cost. They typically linup. If you spend the time thinking about what you need and attack the project the right way, you will end up with something you will wonder how you ever place!
