My phone contract is going to end this September. My provider offers me to prolong the contract with a free new phone that comes with another 2 years contract. I think I will choose just one year contract which means I have to pay some amount to get the new phone.
I am still choosing between Sony Ericsson Xperia (X1); HTC Touch Pro 2 ; or Blackberry Bold. I really like Xperia because I am a Sony Ericsson user, but the Sweden-Japanese vendor is going to release three new phones in September. So, I think I should wait for a while. HTC Pro Touch 2 is really tempting, but it doesn’t have audio jack. While Blackberry is too common and it’s not a touch screen mobile but the re-sell price is really good. So, I think I should wait for a while before deciding anything.
I consider myself to be a smart buyer because I did my homework before I buy something, especially something that I will use for a long time. I have been researching the available smart phones, and I narrowed the options to those three. They are the best phones available at the moment, and at least until 2 years in the future. I will use the phones for everyday work, internet, messenger, agenda, and many more; thus a good phone really comes handy. I’m sorry that I didn’t think that Iphone 3Gs is an option because my friends who are using it dont recommend it to me.
I have used mobile phones since ages ago, and I think that I have changed my preference from time to time, but I have been very loyal to Sony Ericsson. Currently I am using Sony Ericsson P1i, and I have been extremely satisfied with it. I like it because they are hi-tec and you need to think before using it. It is a bit complicated yet challenging. Its endurance is amazing and the designs are innovative.
Here are the list of my old phones.
