Look at your choices; pick the best one, go with it – Pat

Never before have we had so many
choices in cellphones and cellphone
technology and when we try to compare we may find ourselves in the
proverbial apples and oranges dilemma. Is it reasonable to compare a
simple cellphone with the virtual mobile computer?
Yet it is one of the choices we face when choosing a cell phone. Every variation of the cellphone
available has a host of advantages and disadvantages. Experience tells us
that most of us use any unit to its capacity. And that only makes sense. Why
spend $700 or $800 when a free cellphone or a low priced unit does a better
job.
A “traditional’
cellphone that is only capable of sending and receiving calls has many
advantages. For one thing it simplifies our mobile communications life.
Generally, it works better
at its single function than does that function on an omnibus or “multibus”
unit. The sound is better and the battery lasts longer.
On the other end we have the
smart cellphone which in essence is a PDA with a cellphone included. It is
nice to be always connected but the clarity of the sound and
|
the display, the cramped fingers on the keyboard,
the quality of performance oftentimes leaves much to be
desired. And the battery life takes a hammering.
If you have heard of the iPodâ
then you may want to have a cellphone version with mp3.
You many want to keep up with
the success or failure of your favourite sports team - yes on your tv
cellphone.
Camera phones are old hat by
now but cellphone video is coming into its own.
Choices, choices, choices ………er
pick the best one and go with it…..but maybe you would prefer what is
sometimes called the phoneless cellphone……..the ogo……….this is a unit very
similar in size and appearance to the cellphone but can only transmit and
receive sms (short messages) and e-mail. It is very reasonably priced too.
