Cell Phone – Why Should You Upgrade?
We get news from friends or just general conversations from people who want to upgrade their cell phones. There are a number of very good reasons to upgrade, but unfortunately the main reason people upgrade without thinking is because cell phone manufacturers are advertising us every day with new features. I bet you can identify some friends who have new cell phones and have no idea how to use all the key features.
Updating your cell phone needs some careful thought. Many of us upgrade for fashion reasons to keep up with the modern look, it’s understandable that if you have a cell phone from the early years, you might want something a little more portable and flexible to use.
Upgrading still costs money, so choose wisely. There are many different upgrade options today, such as camera cell phones; PDA cell phones, GPS cell phones and now we have the new line of 3G cell phones available. Honestly the best place to choose a cell phone is on the internet, it’s your decision and not some store clerk twisting your arm for a sale and blinding you with useless information.
You must know the differences and different features of cell phones before you go ahead and upgrade. By doing a little research, you can choose exactly what fits your needs and budget. GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) phones are widely used by people who love climbing or adventure hiking in remote regions.
GPS phones can be located in a Pacific area in case you get lost or need assistance, long distance drivers and employers also find these phones a good use. Employers can track the whereabouts of employees or the phones themselves in case of loss or theft.
PDA phones are ideal for people who like to use pocket organizers. These phones are expensive but have PC-like functionality, ideal for office workers or sales reps.
Camera phones are pretty self explanatory, just a phone that can take photos. There’s more to camera cell phones, but in a nutshell, that’s what they do. They are classified as a more fun phone and are very popular with all age groups. Once you have an idea of what different phones do and can’t do, you’ll be in a better position to make an upgrade decision.
Flip phones are very popular right now these are the pop up screen phones they are available in camera, PDA and GPS format but keep in mind they are not for everyone I personally don’t find them very easy to use but that is my In my opinion, I like to just answer the incoming call without messing around with the phone.
Phones on the market today are very light in weight compared to the big style of years ago, those of you who still use these types of phones today should consider upgrading and embracing today’s technology.
General tips:
If you experience poor reception on a regular basis you should check with your cell phone provider first before changing the phone, most of the time it tends to be a bad signal due to the cell phone company rather than your phone fault, Many people just jump in and buy the phone only to find that the same problem recurs. In certain areas, you may need a small cell phone antenna or amplifier that costs very little to get better reception.
Shutting down very quickly:
If you find that your cell phone turns off too quickly, you probably need a new battery, again many people replace the entire cell phone instead of just the battery. The concept that batteries are almost as expensive as the cell phone is false. You can get batteries at very competitive prices along with third party batteries from different vendors.
No power:
If you find that you have no power in your cell phone even after charging it for hours, it could be one of three things. First, the cell phone battery could be completely dead, second, the recharging supply unit could have a problem, and lastly, it could be the cell phone itself, eliminating the first two could save you money. It may all seem like common sense, but you’d be surprised at the number of cell phones that work just fine and get thrown away.
