I love Cell Phones!!!!

I love cell phones!!!! But I am not an impulsive buyer. I think first things first...

In buying a cell phone I consider:
  • how I want to represent myself to people who see me
    • Be yourself and don't imitate other people. If you like pink and be cool eventhough you are already a mother, then go for it and feel young.
  • phone specifications
    • Be knowledgeable about different kinds of specs and weigh its importance to you.
  • price
    • It could be brand new or second-hand phones, just make sure that it would fit your budget.
  • quality
    • Brand names, reviews and comments should be read from different sites. Compare them carefully. www.gsmarena.com has been a big and reliable help.
  • new release cell phones
    • Be updated. It doesn't mean that you will buy the latest and most expensive cell phone in town, but atleast you can watch for it and compare it to your target model.
  • stores (actual or internet)
    • Browse the net. Text the sellers. Visit possible stores. Check their prices and warranties. Compare!
Changing or buying a new cell phone when you already have one or two could be considered as a "want" but it depends on your personal "needs", may it be for your business or for boosting your self-esteem. Just be sure that after buying, you still have the budget for other important things and that you would feel happy (and not regretful) after the purchase.

Last week, I changed my cell phone from Sony Ericsson Z610i(pink) to Sony ericsson P990i. I had the pink phone because of its color without changing the features i love like 3g, video calling and 2mp camera. I actually felt contented until i realized that i need a "wi-fi" feature. We had a router at home but only have 1 desktop and 1 laptop (just for my husband). Sometimes, i couldn't use the computer because of my sons. But now, i could check my emails and even do chatting on my phone. I feel great about it! Though i'm missing the pink color, i just put a pink-color theme on my phone and use pink accessories on it.

Another thing, I thought of SE P1 and it's really good, slim and cool because ot its 3.2mp camera. But P990i and P1 almost have the same features. I'd rather have my p990i price and keypad.

By the way, it's a second-hand cellphone but it looks great! I bought it almost new, complete with 2gb mem, for only Php10,500.00 at www.sulit.com. Isn't it a great buy?! It pays all the hardwork of searching!!

Till next buy!!!
