Things you should know before buying a Mobile Phone

Hi

This newsletter is targeted to help you in becoming a Smart Buyer
when you are looking to buy a Mobile Phone.

******

Mobile Phone is one of the most common gadget these days. There are
several brands available in market from Apple, Nokia and Blackberry
to the affordable ones like Micromax, BenQ and Maxx. Turn out the
newspapers and magazines and you will find a new mobile phone
everyday with lot of features and different prices. All these
stuffs can confuse you as a buyer and you can land up with buying a
phone that you haven't wanted and doesn't suit well with your
requirements.

The biggest problem comes when a novice user is looking to buy a
decent phone and all the sales executives and advertisement
companies are waiting for the opportunity to fool you by showing
their advantages over others. So picking a phone that you wanted
from these hundreds of offers can be a tough task.

Here are some tips that you can follow before buying a mobile phone.

1. Finalize your Requirement - First of all decide what you are
looking for and what are your requirements from a mobile phone.
There are three categories of mobile phones: Business, Multimedia
and Basic phones. Think what are your primary requirements from a
mobile phone. If you want a phone just for calling purpose then
basic phones are a good choice. If you are a business professional
and want email and document features then go for business phone. If
you are an Internet geek and want to stay connected with your
friends and looking for decent camera features then Multimedia
phone is a good option.

2. Decide your Budget - Once you have finalized your requirement
then decide what is your maximum budget. Few years back, finalizing
the budget used to be the first task but the launch of a lot of
mobile companies that provide similar features in a low price has
made this a second task. You can find the mobile phone with similar
features and price tag of 15K from a reputed brand is available at
5K with the new brands.

3. Make a List - Contact different mobile centers and make a list
of 3-4 mobile phones according to your budget and requirements to
choose from.

4. Common Requirements - After making a list, compare them with
some common and must have requirements.

*Battery Life - Battery capacity and backup is very important.
Always try to pick one with atlas 4-5 hours of battery backup.

*Easy Navigation - A phone with lot of features but missing easy
navigation makes it a weak choice. Its very important to have a
quick and easy navigation for the mobile phone you choose for the
best user interfacing and your own experience.

*Network Support - Some mobile phones are for GSM only, so make
sure to finalizing the network also before buying a phone. Choose a
phone for your network and not the network for the phone.

I think the above mentioned tips will help you in becoming a Smart
Buyer. Feel free to share it with your friends and loved ones also
to educate them.

Stay tuned for more.
