Blackberry is selling its popular Pearl smartphone in red and Sony introduced its W660i Walkman music phone this week, available in rose red or the more staid black. Those are some nice-looking phones — but color’s not usually the main thing that matters in a phone. You’ll want to carefully consider which mobile OS might be for you, of course, and decide whether your phone needs a high IQ.
Beyond that, there are many factors to think about: do you need a phone that fits in your pocket? What style works for you, flip or candy bar or PDA-esque? Do you need to take reasonably high resolution photos? Do you want music with your phone calls? Do you need Bluetooth, Wi Fi, and/or EVDO capabilities? What about fancy features like push-to-talk or voice-activated dialing?
Share here what mobile phone you’ve chosen, how you like it, and what you’d do differently if you were buying a phone right now.
