When I plan to prepare to buy a new cell phone, I will consider much to make my decisions.First I will consider what styles, functions and features will suit me best.Much cell phones have the standard functions such as camera, MP3 music player, RM radio, text message etc functions. Also include game, calendar,appointment reminder, clock alarm, silent mode that vibrates, voice controls, speed dialing. Some expensive cell phone will can receive emails, call people with video. So many kinds of cell phone, if you, will you like to buy a cheaper cell phone or expensive one? If me, I don't plan to spend much money to buy expensive one to send emails,first reason the screen of cell phone is so small, second reason, it isn't convenient to text. How about your plans?

my perception is different.i look at the features and quality of cellphone rather than whether it is cheap or expensive.i look upon the cellphones VALUE FOR MONEY factor i.e. whether the cell phone justifies the price for the feature it offers....

I want to buy expensive ones but of course as of now I can't afford it. I want a cellphone that fits to my needs and wants. There is no such thing as perfect as well that is why I really have to choose the best that I could afford. Sometimes I want to have both like cheaper and expensive. So that if ever I will commute then it is better to use the cheap ones, since there are lots of holdapers anywhere.

...i don't like to buy expensive gadgets, so long as the cellphone satisfies my major needs for communication and leisure then that would be enough...i am not very particular with the type and model of the cellphone but definitely, i won't go after expensive one...

It doesn't matter whether our mobile is cheap or costly. It should have all the facilities and should not broke even when we put it down lot of time. It should be strong.

I buy my phone based on how I will used it. I don't need a phone with camera since a have a digital camera. And A will rather take pictures with it rather than taking pictures with my phone. So it doesn't matter how much. But of course it is much cheaper if i'll be buying a phone with less features.

I want to buy something that I can afford. I a celphone that is all in above you mentioned. I want to buy something not that cheap nor that too expensive. I want to buy a celphone that something I know will last for long time not for a temporary one. I also considered about the repair centers of the celphone. I want to buy a celphone or certain brand that they have a repair center. so that If ever it will be broken, I can easily send it and they would fix it. I know that they can also provide some parts which can't with other brand. And your phone should not be disposable.

If I have chances to make a choice, I tend to purchase an expensive one.
You see, a cheap mobile phone at low costs usually means that you will gain a tinpot product. Although you can save some money on it, such a phone will not work in several months, which is just a waste of money.
An expensive cell phone means that you will gain more fresh features with quality. For the long run, it is really a better choice because you can enjoy the better service with it.

Now a days many comapanies have been launched of cell phones. There are different types od function in cell phone. But I will prefer to buy a cheaper cell phone as according to me the main purpose of using the cell phone is to receive the call & make the call & this function is available in all types of cheaper cell phone. Then why to waste money in buying expensive cell phone.

I'm cheap so I'll buy the cheap phone and about those very expensive cell phones, you really don't need it. cell phones are only for calling/texting and not for gaming, internet surfing, and other unnecessary stuff.

I was due for a new phone this year. I hadn't had a new one in over 3 years. I looked at several different phones before I made my decision. I got the HTC Droid Incredible last week. I am generally happy with it. I wanted it so I could go on Facebook and MyLot at work on my lunch break. It doesn't work like I expected at all, so I won't be FBing or MyLotting on lunch at work or from my phone ever. Very disappointed. However, I love many of the other features. I have several games installed and can play them at lunchtime.
Now I just need to figure out some of the other features!

Hi,
If I were to buy a cellphone, I won't opt for those expensive one.
As long as the cellphone is user friendly and it does not matter having
a camera or not, I will just buy it.
Of course, I prefer to have NOKIA cellphone. It is the most
user-friendly cellphone. and all the while I am holding to Nokia
phone.
I know that nowadays peopla are crazy over Blackberry,but I am not.
For me, it is not necessary to hold this phone. Too complicated for me.

It depends on what kind of features you may want to have into your cellphone.In my opinion I don't mind to buy and expensive phone if its useful and its needed, what I mean to say is that having a those feature necessary for me especially if its for my job and not for my luxury, having a good features function are now useful,for example an Iphone it almost gets the function of notebook computers that help you track your emails and used to listen music and having all function to keep all necessary event that you can use when pc is not at hand.
Happy mylotting and Have a nice day!

I really would want to buy an iPhone but it is very expensive. I want to buy it because of its features but practicality says that buying expensive phones may not be very reasonable because of the fast-paced change brought in by technology.
