Tips on Buying a New Phone

Hey guys, I'm back with some tips, but now it's on to the buying side. Here are some simple tips when you're about to buy a phone:

-Check the Price and the Features
Mainly, when you buy a phone, the first thing that comes into your mind would be the price. If your budget maxes out at 15thousand, don't go more than that and find ways just to get there, but instead just find a phone worth the money. Next would be the features, if your not really into business then don't go for phones such as e90, x1, Bold, and the like because these phones are targeted mainly for those who are business minded, that's why they are called "Business Phones".

-Know what you're looking for
This is what I always tell people when they buy phones from me, know what you're looking for. Some always say, what's the best phone to get with a budget of 15thousand, well tell me what you need. Is it a Multimedia Phone?a phone that snatches looks from by passers?a phone wherein you can text easily?a phone wherein you can browse the net on the go?There's a lot of categories to put them under, so be specific!

-Compare Phones always, Don't make up your mind!...yet!
For example, you want to buy a new phone, specifically a Nokia 6500 Slide, by this time that costs around 12-13 thousand, and you, being an impulsive buyer, bought the phone ASAP! When you got out of the store all jolly with your new phone, you see this phone so beautiful that it catches your attention away from your new phone and when you look at the price its the same, even cheaper! Then your vision turns dark and you collapse, just kidding! What I'm trying to point out here would be before buying your "idol phone", think of another alternative first. For example, the 6500 Slide, sure it's a nice phone, but with that budget you can go for a C902 (non-warrantied of course), n82 (non-warrantied as well), G800 (you know what I'm going to type), w960 (yes, you guessed it right!), E63 (Warrantied!), and a lot more, so think before buying!

-Time to be different
Lastly, when you buy a phone, try to be unique as much as possible. I always tell those who buy new phones, it's your chance to be different, don't buy those PNBs (Phone Ng Bayan), so as much as possible be unique!

Thanks and hope you learned from this!
