Smartphones will likely replace laptops within the next five years. As processors get faster, hold more data, and parts get cheaper, you can expect them to become increasingly prevalent in the computer market. Tablets are already a medium between the two devices.
Today, mostly Blackberries and iPhones vie for smartphone supremacy. If you’re thinking about making the switch you’re not alone. These tips will help you.
1. Determine your plan: If you are satisfied with your wireless carrier, you may be able to lower the cost of your phone by re-signing your service contract. For the transference of data, many smartphones require an additional monthly fee.
2. Prioritize: Why are you really switching to smart? Is it to impress your friends? If so, you may want to rethink getting one. There are, however, tons of cool features that you could totally use everyday – around your friends or by yourself. These include: e-mail, GPS navigation, internet and the millions of websites you will have access to, personal organizers, media software, music storage, and the capacity to read e-books. But if you are going to be using your smartphone for e-mail predominantly, you probably want a full QWERTY keyboard, like a Blackberry. If you want it for gaming, look for a big screen, the kind that comes on an iPhone.
3. Choices:
Blackberry is the original smartphone. It has been around for the longest, and its design with that little pearl in the middle is so cute and easy to use.
iPhone is made by Apple, just in case you were living under a rock for the past few years. As of right now, these phones are only available through AT&T, which recently started offering a variety of data transference packages. The fact that data transference is becoming more popular signals a shift in the use of cell phones – more and more are being used to browse the internet than to make phone calls. Apple user-friendly technology is encouraging the shift.
Android is a phone that’s available through most carriers. With a touch screen, and all of the app accessibility of an iPhone, it’s not a bad choice.
HTC Evo is Sprint’s most popular smartphone. It uses 4G, which will soon be the standard for all smartphones and will make faster and better service more widely available.
Palm Pre Series is a versatile phone for work and play. Each new model becomes increasingly streamlined, as is the case with most of these phones.
Smartphones are really cool, but if you’re still unsure, wait a few months. The best thing about these phones is that there are always new devices coming out with more and better features. Once the 4G network becomes commonplace, probably sometime in 2011, the overall smartphone experience will be even more pleasurable. If you really want one now, check out your local service provider, and use these tips to get an idea before trying your new smartphone firsthand.
