Guest Post - Smart Phone vs. Basic Phones: What to Choose

Happy Independence Day for those of you in the U.S. We're off to the beach, and I'm lucky enough to have a guest post by Connection Fly, today.

Many advertisements out there have led us to believe that the top-tier smart phones are always the best choice. I could not disagree more. This is not to say, however, that the iPhone 4S or Samsung Galaxy S III are not fantastic smart phones. Rather, I suggest that these smart phones are only for the savviest users and are not always the best choice as smart phones or cell phones are devices made to suit your needs. Thus, it has to match your lifestyle. Here are some guidelines to determine what phone you should be keeping an eye for.

Apps? Apps are one of the primary reason why smart phones are versatile and one of the primary reasons why you should get one. Before getting a phone, you should consider what particular use are you using it for such as email account synchronization, social network sync, GPS, gaming, shopping and so on. If you do not know what I am talking about and what apps are, then you are better off with a basic cell phone.

User-Friendliness: As weapons become more expensive, they also become more complex. If you are not one for customization and would like something that you can easily use straight out of the box, I suggest getting a basic phone.

Specifications: A reason why the iPhone 4S and other top-tier phones are so expensive is because of the performance that they can give: processing power rivaling that of a desktop's, sophisticated graphics processing unit, and efficient chipsets. Thus, when considering the function, you should also consider the specifications if you are wasting money by getting an overpowered one. If all you need is browsing, texting, and calling, there are a lot of better alternatives than top-tiered phones. Even getting wireless accessories can even accommodate Bluetooth connectivity, MP3 playback, browsing and many more.
