The newest generation of phones are the smart phones. These sometimes expensive cell phones are considered as big of an advancement as cell phones were to landlines. These smart phones have revolutionized the way we run business, run our lives and influence how we interact with the world at large.
I will first give a brief summary of what a smart phone is. A smart phone is an advanced cell phone that has the capabilities of a PDA or small laptop that fits in your pocket and has a much longer battery life. The smart phone can usually operate multiple functions at once, called applications. These applications can do things from making reservations at restaurants to video chatting with your friends to giving your laptop 3G internet access no matter where you are in the world.
Pros: Smart phones have the capabilities of full mp3 players. Since I have bought my smart phone I no longer have the need to carry around an mp3 player in my car or on my person for trips. The amount of storage on these devices can be as much as 32GB or more depending on the model. However some only have 4GB or less which to some can be completely useless as an mp3 player.
You can also have unique features such as touchscreen and motion sensing that while they do help you to interact readily and easily with any of the applications you can also play fun games that have never dreamed of before.
Cons: Battery life is a huge problem, however this is typical considering how much more people who own smart phones end up using their phones in their daily life compared to a regular phone. Also with the wide arrangement of chargers and ability to charge with your laptop, in your car, while you sleep, there is almost never a time when you are without charge.
The biggest con of a smart phone would be the enormous monthly fees for the unlimited data transfer. You can spend around 80 to 150 dollars a month which turns out to be over 1000 dollars a year! Think of the expensive dinners or fun activities you could be doing with that extra money when you consider the fun of buying a smart phone. Also the initial cost can range from 200 to 500 dollars for these advanced phones.
When you look over these things in review you should really try to determine why exactly you want this smart phone, and whether or not you need this smart phone to be happy. If it is mainly used for entertainment purposes you should compare the costs to other entertainment things. If you use it to look cool, think about the clothing you could buy with that money. If you want to use it for business however, I strongly suggest you immediately buy one as they are invaluable tools to running your business on the go.
Looking over the pros and cons, to summarize you should consider factors of how long you plan to use it between charges, do you have the extra money, how much do you want it to consume your personal life, do you really need the extra gadgetry, and have you done the adequate research to find the right smart phone for you.
