What do you look for, when buying a CELLPHONE?

first, the quality and second the features..that's what really matters all the time...

hmmm price!! ;-)

As long as I've been using cell phones, I really never cared about how it looked. I look for ability to make & receive a call & do some messaging. My position at work changed few times & because of it, I've been using blackberry for past 3 years but I don't need it now so I'm using motorola v8. It's somewhat out dated phone but I like it.

I look for a cell pho0ne that has lots of features, including the internet as well. I do have lots of features on my phone, one which I can post in here on it. I haven't posted but a couple of posts, and it does take a little time to post what I want, but it really does a good job of posting, and I am glad of that. I do use the internet on it, although not all the time or everyday for that matter, but once in awhile I will use it. I just bought it in March of this year, so I can't really upgrade until next year or when my contract is up in 2012, but that is okay sicne I do liek my phone a lot and who knows, I might just decide to keep it for a lot longer. Take care, and have a very good day.

well BATTERY BACKUP and Capacitive touch screen is my top prioirty when looking for in a cellphone..and good OS.. i.e. Symbian OS are also good... RAM should be grater and also the clock speed.. and QWery keyboard would be a bonus for me :)

Love cell phone shopping I look for something sleek and classy, I'm very feminine and like my phones easy to handle easy to use, I currently have a blackberry but want to upgrade to an iphone but I just saw the new blackberry torch and its soo cool so i'm going to check it out of course and make my decision from there. But I also factor in functionality, how easy is it to text keypad size etc since i'm a big texter, i don't worry so much about internet on my phone I also like to save money and I have all the internet around me, i own a laptop bring it everywhere tere are wifi hotspots like everywhere these days but good luck with your phone search!

what my money can affort..LOL, my ideal cellphone remains to be a dream gadget for now..someday! someday..

If it has "Groups" in the Contacts. Seriously I look for it first so I don't have to put numbers individually if I ever have to send the messages to a lot of people. Second would be the convenience of the keypad. If I could type the letters really fast with it. Size of the memory. That will be really it. I have old phones, I always get hand me downs. So I really don't have a phone that has internet access. I do have a phone that has camera in it. That will be the "latest". Oh and bluetooth too. Just that.

It's got to be its ease of use and easy maintenance. I am not too into market value or popularity. I want something that really suits my needs and my budget as well. :D

i'm looking for small office in cellphone,such as office application,email,internet,etc.But small thing that very important is camera.I need it when i wanna go trip.

This is where I well and truly show me age When I pick a new phone, I choose one that I can use easily, see with my poor old fading eyes and one that I can make and receive phone calls and text messages - and that is it Told you I was going to look old and boring

First i will check whether the facilities needed for me are available or not.Then i will check whether the company is a standrd company.Then i will go through the review of the phone to see its drawbacks.Finally i will check the cost.After satisfying all these things i will buy the phone.

physical beauty of course. where I can proudly show it to the world but before buying it. I will surf its reviews if Its functioning great. Making money is very hard compared to spending it.

Well, I'm looking for a very good touch screen phone. Has a fast cpu. I'm thinking of buying Samsung galaxy s or htc hd2. But I'm looking into samsung galaxy s, has a super amoled screen, a capacitive screen (so as the hd2), a 1ghz cpu (and also the hd2). Maybe I can buy one of these as soon as possible.

first i always look for features, 2nd is looks. as long as it has wifi.good battery life. edge or 3g capable. good OS e.g. Symbian, Android, blackberry RIM OS. pretty good body build.

well im looking for one that has a wifi and flash support and a video camera that is decent even if its not that good.

i am not particular actually, as long as i can text and call will be enough for me alright, i am not looking for those good expensive cellphones that we see everywhere.

I look for something flashy and sleek. It must have some type of keyboard because I'm fed up with using t9. It hasn't been fun.. and that's an understatement. I would learn my lesson and stay away from Samsung. All of their phones are flawed. If someone texts you while your typing a text. The text you were typing will be sent to the person who just texted you.. I don't know how many times this has happened to me and other people, but it's gotten me into quite a few awkward situations. I would get a phone that has better internet capabilities. Mine can't view the pages as they're supposed to look. Also one that doesn't turn off for no reason would be nice. I haven't had a phone that hasn't done this before.

I'm with you in the functionality aspect of a cellphone. I also look for reviews on the net before buying one. It is always wise to get opinion from other people who have actually used it, if you want real value for your money.
