what do you guys take into consideration when you're looking for a cell phone?
just something that you can call with?
call/text?
smartphone?

just wondering :)
i'm getting a cell phone soon! :D haha, i feel like a little middle schooler. i don't know which yet, though. i'm still busy spending lots of time on cnet.

also, if anyone has useful websites that do cell phone reviews or comparisons or anything, i'd appreciate it if you'd share!

After using a smartphone I cant go back... Its like using going from ramen noodles to a 5 course meal... I have a mda and it bugs me sometime but the pros outweight the cons. I love the wifi and active sync on it. I dislike the bulkiness of it and the touchscreen... But out of a 10 Id give it a 7.5. Oh it has all cellphone must have a mp camera (1.3 blech) mp3 and mp4. Umm sd card slot and many more

I was stupid when I got my phone, haha. I got mine for looks and for the camera. I love the picture quality. pinch.gif Next time I'm going to do my research more!

Anyways, http://www.gsmarena.com/ has quite a few reviews. It has all the specs and stuff on phones. :D

Yes ma'am gsmareana is awesome... But i think the reviews from people are biased... If only the cellphones they reviewed are like 500 and less -.-

when i buy a phone i always look for how small the phone is.
im a girl so i like it to be different, like my new phone right now is purple and white. its really cute.

i look at the screen size and how the display looks.

but thats about it, i dont look for too much but just as long as i can text and call people its cool. ;)

The look

How big/small it is

The screen size

the keypad

ive never had one with a camera, but that would count too

the battery life

For some reason looks are important to me.
Camera/video capability & music/mp3 phones I like too.

I always consider how big or small it is, if it looks good, what brand it is (motorola, nokia etc.). Cell Phone Reviews. I just want something that I can call text, and record audio.

-picture and video quality
-comfortable keypad
-size
-USB capability (Motorola is awesome, the cables are the UNIVERSAL one, but if other phone companies give the SPECIAL cable for free, then I won't mind)

Yeah, my phone has to be a smartphone. Right now I have an iPhone and before this I had a Motorola Q. So I really just switched from Windows to Mac. Lol.
My phone needs to be able to surf the Internet really well. That's the most important thing for me. I don't actually make too many phone calls. I mainly text and write myspace messages.
