different needs when it comes to their cellular telephone. Some people

Here are a few tips to help you choose the best cell phone. First of
all, decide how much you want to spend and be clear on the features you
need. Remember that the more the features, the higher the cost.

phone by the talk time it gives. The bare minimum should be 2 hours of
maximum talk-time plus 90 hours of maximum standby time.

are very cheap. There is a proliferation of cell phone makers including
Nokia, Motorola, Ericson, Siemens, Samsung, Sony, etc. More importantly,
cellular plans have come down enormously in overall price with some
caveats.

call waiting, voice mail and auto-answering. Some also have other added
features like your first incoming minute free. The high-end cell phones
will have voice-a ctivated dialing, SMS, 2-way paging, games, scheduling
calendars, digital organizer and all the standard features. The main thing
is to see what fits into your life style best and also to be sure when and
if the features expire.

everybody's needs are different. So what's good for your friend may not be
the best choice for you. Your best bet would be to search online for
websites with good cell phone comparisons in order to get a quality cell
