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.
What is a smart phone? A smart phone is a wireless cellphone that has the ability to perform a multitude of tasks normally not done by regular cellphones. These include e-mail, web browsing, data applications such as documents and excel. Also some of the newer smart phones have really broadened the gap, allowing capabilities such as touchscreen, 3G and large storage for mp3s and video files.
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: 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.
With all of these pros and cons considered you need to first figure out whether or not you really need this phone in your life and whether or not you can support the monthly charges. The smart phone can furfill many functions in your life, ranging from looking cool and showing off to friends, for pure entertainment value with mp3, video, and gaming capabilities, to completely operating your personal business ventures with the email and web capabilities. It mostly comes down to the cost of the phone. If you have the extra money and are willing to spend it, you will find the smart phone is a great thing to have. However if you could be using that 1000 bucks a year for something better, you really should.
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. - 2364
