I sort of feel like my newest, thin, bright black Multi Function Cell Phone, which was the best, most reliable I've had. And that was in last month.and now that we can basically live our lives through technology, there are a million new ways it can fail us. It's the same concept as my mother not wanting power doors and windows because if, when our car is inevitably hurled into trouble, it's just another device to keep us trapped and ultimately lead to our connection.
Although that might not have a lot to do with buying perfect Cell Phones.
So let's move on.
We all need different things from our phones. But reliability is essential.
I've been through a ton of different phones--Camera Cell Phone can sure you easily take photos when you want in any time and any point, even now has used to monitor others. Touch Screen Cell Phone that can suitable for fashional teenagers when they hate keyboard design,and so no. some good, some great, some heinous--and you can learn from my egregious errors in judgment!
step 1
More important than the specific phone, the carrier will dictate your level of stress and disappointment. If you simply MUST have an Hiphone but Cingular's reception sucks in your apartment, it's really pointless. Give up the dream. Or move. And frankly, from everything I've heard about the iphone, maybe you SHOULD move. It's definitely shaping up to be sexier than your house.

Step 2
How to test what carrier works for you? Make friends with people using each of the big carriers, and spend a day with them. You think I'm kidding? I'm not. Like, maybe the recepsh is RAD in your bedroom, but it totally sucks in your bathroom. And what do I know? Maybe you're someone who conducts a lot of business in the loo. Things like that. It's important that there are no surprises to select Wifi Cell Phone which can deal with mass of business.

Step 3
If you're on a cell-phone hunt, you've obviously researched the ubiquitously adored Blackberry Phone. It's available for T-Mobile and Cingular, and its reliability is incredible. It offers web, im, all email, text, oh and that thing called "talking on the phone" capabilities, and most of my men friends love theirs. My one main concern is about the keyboard--the buttons are tiny for me, and I have ridiculously, embarrassingly small hands. Another somewhat minor concern is that the phone seems to have a mind of its own. I often get phantom calls from my pearl-owning friends--it seems their butts do a lot of calling. I don't know if it's hard to lock the phone, or if the lock is easily released, but I do know this: If you're actively having an affair, don't get this phone. Your wife will surely get a call, from you, mid-tryst. You know that's how life works.

Step 4
Then, for my girls and gays, there is the adorable sidekick. I have one. I switched my service JUST to get one. It's so cute. It's flips in this very cool way. It has a full qwerty keyboard. It does everything.
Except.
It's awful.
It is.
And its awfulness makes me sad.
It's sort of like it can't keep up with its own awesomeness. So many times the Dual SIM Card Cell Phone isn't ready, or all my texts and emails will suddenly disappear, or a number of other life-altering meltdowns. I especially love when I save voicemails by pressing the standard 9, and then it tells me its saved, and when I check my saved voicemails, it tells me there's none. That's a real fun time. I'm on my second Sidekick 3, and it's up to all the same tricks. Apparently, the info is stored via internet, and when you lose your internet connection, your saved data appears lost. And considering the entire Valley of LA is a T-Mobile black hole, you, too will have puffy eyes and dripping mascara from lonely nights of tears and no reception.

Step 5
I must say, now that I have a Wifi cell phone which allows me to im and browse the web, it would be hard to go back. But if you aren't one of 'those', and simple calling and texting is your bag, I suggest phones from Nokia and chinese wholesalers--they are wildly reliable.
#
Step 6
If you know you're a cradler (between ear and shoulder) never invest in a Razr, or Crazr, or MotoAwesomRadZr. They're too thin and I promise--you WILL throw it out the window.
