How to choose a smartphone

It has been a tremendous battle place for Smartphones, brand like Apple,HTC,Blackberry,Samsung Galaxy and other makes that is trying to get into this market. So lets talk about the review for Smart Phones as major topic. So what is the thing that you would like to have when you want to buy a smartphones? is it like its design, colors, size, and mostly price. ....is it? Well there is a lot of choices in determined the smartphones that you want to buy, everybody have different needs and budgets. so lets list down some of the items that one would normally be looking for when choosing a smartphones.

for me I it would be

1. Reception!!
- you might ask why i say that?, well what is the whole point of a phone in general, to connect! and without connection what is it call? a Toy!...:D, see this component that is used to make this reception is vital, with a good quality chip would really make a nice day for you where everyone else having trouble connecting. Nowadays, everything is online, GPS, GOOGLE,news,stocks, word processor, spreadsheets, you name it, they have it online. Even to upgrade your phone OS you would need to be connected for your convenience. My personal experience, I am using laptop and we were on a public wi-fi, my sis is using smartphone, she can get connection, well i fail to even connect. there you go, see?

2. Battery
- power power power!, don't everyone agree with me? no power that smartphone is a piece of junk or monument for shelf to be displayed :).

3. Size
- I mean screen size, not too big not to small, just nice would be ok. For me it is about 10 to 11 inch max.

4. Weight
- let say here, about like 100-120 gram

5. Display
- 16 million colors would be sufficient more then that your eyes could not even differentiate the difference, so what is the point, also need to know that the LED,LCD is a power saving type, like AMOLED, or TFT, just make sure that this type of display is a power saving type would be ok.

6. OS
- this is also crucial, I am not particular in any OS brand, but the major ones are APPLE iOS and Android OS, as I am writing they are rolling gingerbread. why this matter?, OS design is very particular, for this you have to use that phone, try it, launch some word processor and see if the virtual keyboard is blocking how much of the document body. It would be a fuss when you cannot see what you are typing, right? I also had this experience with some of the TABs that I have surveyed around, while I am planning to get one. Well this also depends on people, as some of you are left handed, so try it first to see what is ergo to you.

7. Storage
- make sure you have sufficient storage and the speed of it. slow writes make a slow phone. I note that Iphone do not have external USB to connect external drives, well if you want to get that model, do get a higher storage model. Not sure if Apple is coming out with a cable that connect with an external drive, but what is the point? All need to use itunes. hmm. I have seen some companies are making readers that can connect to iphone and store data. If you need hugh storage, look for alternatives like those models that uses Andriod mostly have a USB port.

8. GPS - free?
- if your OS can support free GPS apps? would be nice.

9. Wifi
- to get connected of course.

10. 3G/4G/5G

11. processor
- dual core 1Ghz would be good.
