Best Cell Phones on the Market

Everyone is always asking everyone else, “What cell phone should I buy?”

I don’t claim to be an expert, but when I was looking for a cell phone recently, I did some research which I thought I should share.

Of course, what cell phone to buy is an almost  impossible question to answer because everyone’s needs and uses of a cell phone are different.  A business user obviously has different needs and uses than a non business user.  Email is much more important for a business customer, while the non business customer may be more interested in music and video capabilities.  My son uses his IPhone for everything.  He even makes telephone calls on it.  Others probably are only interested in the telephone capabilities.

Another important aspect is service provider coverage. A customer who does not travel isn’t concerned with service coverage all over the country, while a traveling business person is very concerned with the quality of coverage in ares where he expects to travel.

Anyway, considering these factors, here are some suggested cell phones to start your search.

•    Apple iPhone.  Apple has set the benchmark and shaken up the industry.  Their iPhone does everything they say it does, and will do more as you add more apps.
•    Palm Treo 750. It’s a mobil phone office with great overall usability.
•    Blackberry 8800. It’s greatly improved with GPS and Wi-Fi.  The only downside is that Singular disables the Wi-Fi built into the hardware and forces you to use their EDGE network.
•    Blackberry Curve 8300. Everyone who had one has been blown away by its looks and usability. It has all the known Blackberry features plus many more.  The best data device on the market today. (But if WiFi gets you going wait until the 8320 is launched.)
•    Blackberry Pearl 8100. Shrink the Curve, color it black, white or cranberry and you have the Pearl except it’s one generation slower with a smaller camera.  But at half the price and the size of the Curve it’s can be a great solution. (There’s also a faster version rumored to be out soon.
•    Blackberry 8830. For the world traveller this Blackberry has one of best email programs of any cell phone.  You can use it internationally by sliding in a card you purchase abroad.
•    Samsung Blackjack 1600.  Good features in a thin case.
•    Sony Ericsson P1. This is a great improvement over older series P phones and has a lot of bang for your buck.
•    Nokia E61i The sleek form is nice though not great looking. It has flawless support for office software, video and audio support, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and Memory extension all for a fair price.
•    Sony Ericsson W580i. Much improved over previous Sony cell phones, this phone is great inside and out  and if you don’t need a Blackberry, this could be your number one choice.
•    Motorola A1200i. If you want a PDA phone with a strong operating system (linux mobile) and powerful applications, check this one out.  
•    Treo 700w/700wx. With Windows OS you can create, edit, send, and receive Word, Excel and Powerpoint files as well as emails.
•    LG vx-8700. If you are looking for a stylish, sleek good performing phone that makes and receives calls with text messages and nothing else, this is the phone for you.
•    Nokia N95. This phone has tremendous potential and a good search engine. It’s cameras a good enough for real photography and has been used by reporters on the go.  Serious business users should really check it out.
•    HTC Artemis P3300. This is another phone for serious business users.  Super slim It has everything you might need for business use.

But, before you get out the Yellow Pages to go looking for the phone in this list that has caught your eye, you need to dig into some more research.
