Smart phones are the new generation of cell phone. They are as big of an advancement as the cell phone was to the landlines. So how come more people aren't using them? Well here I will list the pros and cons and ultimately whether or not you should invest in one, whether it is economical or not for you.
Many people do not truly understand what a smart phone is, so I will briefly tell you. A smart phone is a application device that can perform a number of tasks for you normally done by computers or PDA devices. These applications can range from finding a nearby parking lot based on your location to managing your business deals through e-mail and websites. Also you can store video and mp3 files and play them on usually very high resolution screens.
Pros: The smart phone can be a fully functional mp3 player, just like an ipod or any other mp3 player on the market. The only difference is the battery life will not be as good because you are using it for other things, and typically the storage ranges from 4 to 16 GB however some phones are known to have as high as 32GB of storage.
Also the touchscreen and motion sensing applications that can be run on these smart phones can be unique and intuitive allowing for an ease of use that easily surpasses any previous generation of phone on the market.
Cons: Since these smart phones have large brightly lit screens they often have horrible battery lives. My smart phone lasts about a day but it is not such a bad thing as I can always charge it on my way to work or charge it while I sleep. My only concern is that if I forget once I don't have a phone for an entire day!
The biggest con of owning a smart phone is the sometimes outrageous monthly fee. You can end up spending over 100 dollars a month which ends up being 1200 dollars a year on your phone service! This is on top of the 200-400 dollar price range that they typically require when you first buy the phone as well.
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.
