What Mobile Phone Should I Buy

For me Samsung mobile phone have to be one of the best on the market right now, I know people are fond of their iPhone's and Blackberry's but for me those are expensive phones, yes they are nice but you pay the price.  A cheaper alternative to these is a mobile from Samsung, most of which are now touchscreen.

I am currently onto my third Samsung mobile and I have never had any trouble with the phones they have provided, apart from the odd snag which we will go into below.  So I will take you through the cheap and simple option on the Samsung range and go right through to a more expensive alternative providing you with all you need in social networking and E-mail.

Of course I can only comment on the phones I have owned so without further a do, the first phone on the list.

A snip at £4.95 when you top up by ten pounds this little gem of a phone is perfect if all you want to do is make phone calls and send text messages, there is no camera or video recording facilities on the phone meaning the battery life goes on for about a week. The phones functionality is also very simple and easy to get to grips with for people of all ages. It is also the cheapest phone in Samsung’s range at the moment. I have one of the phones and keep it as my spare should anything happen to my main phone, always handy to have a keepy back phone. If downloading Apps and surfing the Internet on your phone then this is not for you, in fact it does not even connect to the Internet. There is not much more to say about it really if you want simplicity and cheap then this is the phone for you.

I had one of these phones on contract and at first was very impressed I had not had a touchscreen phone before and found it very easy to use. The Tocco Lite is one of the best sellers in Samsung’s range. The phone is very easy to navigate through the menus, the phone also has a 3.2 megapixel camera and video recording facilities and will also act as a MP3 player. You can buy the USB to 3.2mm jack converter enabling you to listen to your favourite music in your car via a FM transmitter. The memory on the phone is 50MB (internal) and expandable to 8GB with a micro SD card. The touch screen on this phone is the only thing that lets it down after about 10 months to a year it starts to become unresponsive and frustrating. You will select a particular menu or key on the keypad and the phone will open or type something completely different. Like all modern touchscreen smart-phones the Tocco Lite provides you access to the Internet with the Facebook App and Twitter App already installed, only thing the Internet connection is not very quick and you can not connect to Wi-Fi with the phone meaning you often get frustrated waiting on things to open. At the moment this handset will only set you back about £50 or so and contracts start from approximatly £10 per month.

A Samsung Galaxy android phone, this is the handset I am currently using and I cannot rate it highly enough for me it does everything that a Blackberry or even an iPhone does especially in the way of social networking, downloadable Apps are available including Facebook and Twitter and the phone is pre-loaded with Google Mail and YouTube, also available on there is Google maps for Samsung mobile. The mobile web browsing is also available via a wireless and 3G connection, with the wireless connection not effecting your monthly data allowance when watching a video streamed via YouTube. You can also get the talking Tom cat app to keep the kids entertained, and best of all he is a free. Your contacts list also syncs with all of your Facebook “Friends” making it easy to send messages without even loading up Facebook. Again this phone acts as a MP3 player but no conversion is needed in order to play music in your car, your FM Transmitter will plug straight in to the 3.5mm jack on the top of the phone, and the music player is similar to a iPod you can elect to play your entire collection on shuffle, make your own playlists or even listen to individual albums, album art is also available to load up to your phone giving your music player a more classy look. The memory on the phone is expandable up to 16GB with micro SD and the phone has a 2 megapixel camera with video recording facilities. This phone connects with your computer great, the Galaxy Europa works in conjunction with Samsung Kies. Samsungs version of iTunes you can control all of the media on your phone from this program. You can also select you phone to link with your computer via UMS only this will not start up Kies and allows you access to your memory card which you don;t get through Kies.

So those are my three mobile phones from Samsung there are of course newer models available now the latest being the Samsung Galaxy S which has HD video recording facilities’ you could opt for one of the Samsung Windows mobile 6.5 Omnia.

I have never used either of the above but if they are anything like the three mentioned above then I'm sure you wont have a problem with them. For me a Samsung mobile offers everything that you need at less than half the price.
