Companies which are smartphones manufacturers are continously improving their products and adding interesting and useful features to the smartphones and it seems that each of them is duplicating what the competitors are doing, but it depends on the quality of the feature implemented. If you already have one and you want to change it, or if you didn't buy yet a smartphone, here is a short article which will show you how to choose a smartphone.

A very important aspect in choosing the smartphone, is the basic platform, and this means that you must pay attention to the OS implemented on it. Some very well known OS are BlackBerry, Palm, Windows Mobile and Symbian. The iPhone OS or OS X iPhone, which appeared of course, with the release of iPhone, in June 2007, has suffered many upgrades and it is becoming more and more interesting. The majority of the iPhone users love it, though it has some minuses, which are solved as soon as they appear. Despite iPhone's position on the market, and all the positive things said about it, ChangeWave research company reports that BlackBerry, with it's RIM, remains the market leader. BlackBerry devices are in the tops for customer satisfaction too, says J.D. Power and Associates. Even if the positions on the market are disputed, the most important thing is that when you choose a smartphone, you should take into account if the OS fits your needs, and if it is created on your user profile. If you want to be connected with your corporation, and being linked with the office is an important consideration, than the best is BlackBerry, and we know this from ChangeWave's report, which states that 73% of the companies which offer their employees gives them BlackBeryys. Before purchasing a smartphone you should check the email server used by your employer and then make a decision.

Size and shape are the same important as the OS. They come in various shapes and sizes, but further than these design aspects, you should keep an eye on the keyboard, if it has a touchpad/touchscreen and pay attention to the phone's memory. An attractive, full featured smartphone might work slowly, and this might be a huge inconvenient for you. Aslo, you should check if the smartphone has a slot for a memory card, because it is better to have additional space too, more than the one offered by the manufacturer.



The mobile network is also important when purchasing a smartphone, so you should be informed on which mobile network can the smartphone be used and which are the advantages and the disadvantages of each of them. This also depends on your mobile's specifications, and if it supports 3G and EDGE or not, and if it is based on SIM (subscriber identity module) card.

You shouldn't worry about additional sotfware you woud like to install on your smartphone, because there are more than 18,000 third party applications for Windows Mobile OS and for BlackBerry around 3400. For Internet browsing on your smartphone, you should consider a large screen phone with 3G support. These are the basic requirements for a good quality Internet connection and then you should install a good HTML browser. Another connectivity features you should pay attention to are Bluetooth and WiFi. It is true that Bluetooht is present on all smartphones, but you should check the profiles and the capabilities. Some phone support only headsets, while others allow you printing, syncing and more.

Independent of the smartphone you choose, take the following advice: test the phone as much as you can in the trial period!
