Planning to buy a new phone? Going for the iPhone 4 or for Nokia’s N8? With so many mobile phones flooding the market, it is quite difficult to choose a new phone. Some goes for the iPhone4 simply because it is the latest product in the iPhone product line. Advanced users would normally opt for the Android phones because of its open source technology. The rest are still loyal to Nokia and its Symbian OS.
Below are some useful tips and tutorial when buying a new phone and what phone to buy.
  • Go to the mall and check-out the mobile phones. Be sure to check various phones. Don’t be contented to only one. Jot down all the phones of interest. List the model and brand. This is to give a general idea of the phones that are readily available. It is different in looking at pictures of new mobile phones on the internet. Seeing the actual product is way better than its photo counterpart.
  • After looking and picking the mobile phone, it is now time to do some web research. Search about the features, pricing, offers, reviews, user opinions, etc… It is important to check the phone’s functions to see if it has what you require or if it can suite your needs.
  • Note: Aside from the basic communication features, new mobile phones can be a video player, mp3 player, high resolution camera, mobile PC, etc… If you’re not a techy person, then simply go for an inexpensive basic phone as for sure, it would be impossible to use and enjoy a feature-rich phone.


  • It is also important to check user opinions and reviews. The more advance a mobile device, the more it is likely to be unstable or lagging on the early stages of its release. This is the reason why a firmware update is always released to correct market-raised issues.
  • Next to research is pricing and offers. Some stores might have some promotional offers. Face it, we all love promotional offers.
  • Once a model and brand is decided, ready the cash and go to the store. But before buying the unit, inspect the appearance for any sign of wear or scratches. Personally, had some bad experience regarding scratches on a “supposedly” new Nokia C6. Some signs to look for are the plastic covering the screen, there should be no text messages on the inbox, call counter / duration is zero, no web visited sites, sounds and alerts are ok, if all included accessories are intact, etc…
Finally, after purchasing the phone, be sure to safe keep the box and manuals. Even if you’re a seasoned phone user, the manual may still come in handy. It is will also come in handy, if your planning to re-sell the phone. It might sell faster if it still has the box and other original products that came in the package.
Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Apple’s IPhone, Nokia, LG, etc… are all the same, they are all phones. There might be difference in price and features but fact of the matter is, a mobile phone is still a mobile phone. A buyer is just confused when buying a new phone because of so many brands and model to choose from.
