For the people that want a new phone but don’t know how to choose, this is my little help to you. There 5 Things you have to think about before you make these big and somewhat costly expenses.

(Form Factor)- There many different form factors and that is a very important part of choosing a phone.

Sliding- The most recent Form factor is Sliding, and that is what is in my opinion the best, you get a full keyboard and if you want a touch screen.

Bar- This is also a very good Form factor for the people who don’t mind using a touch screen or just a regular phone like a Blackberry.

Flip- This has been slowly leaving the Market but there some left, for the people that don’t want to pocket dial

Swivel- This is somewhat a good looking form in the sense you just push and it twist opens. Like the Sidekick series(except the Slide) and other phone.

(Smart or Dumb)- Choosing this is as important as choosing the Form Factor of a phone.

Smartphone- You get a lot of features, Apps and other great things. Like the Iphone or Touch pro2, there many OS’s out there like Windows mobile, Mac Osx, Nokia S60, Google Android and another Nokia Meome 5 OS.

Dumbphone- If you want an easy to understand and not to much things too worry and a phone that won’t brick.

(Functions)- There a lot of function phones can do this days that you will have a hard choice from. Lets take my phone for example. I have Wifi, Gps, Bluetooth, Touchscreen, Qwarty keyboard and a great 3.2Mp camera. There are a lot of features out there and all you have to do is pick.
