The best mobile phone

Alright so you've walked out of that cell phone dealer and have had it with technology. Those pushy salespeople have just stomped on your last nerve! Or worse you get the feeling you received a phone that was certainly not worth your two hundred dollars. Breathe in, and out, friend; and rest assured I have got the chicken soup for your soul.

Wait a minute, what do I know about cellular or handheld devices? Not too much asides from the fact that I have done plenty of research and usually try my best to stay in touch with news from the mobile world. I'm not a qualified cellular handheld expert, nor am I a qualified dealer or salesperson (which could possibly be the reason why you're resorting to this).

Initially, as I began writing this piece, I read through a few articles about what my fellow Helium contributors thought of as their perfect cellular device. There were a few articles that were a bit vague for my taste, although I found them informative. Then there were articles that I found to be very specific and straightforward, by identifying a particular device and writing about it. I put two and two together and decided on taking the best of both worlds and combining the two into one (wow, lots of two's in that sentence).

What exactly would we look for in a handheld device? Well, speaking on today's standards, a phone should have at least a 1.3 mega-pixel camera (although 2.0 mega-pixels would be best). The phone should have a memory slot, so you never have to worry about having too little storage. Battery life is one thing we will not have to worry about in mid-range phones, contrary to belief; most phones nowadays have excellent battery power. Lastly, one major overlooked factor will have to be a USB cable that connects your phone to the computer, so you can obtain useful games and applications for your phone.

With that said, I have to get one thing off my chest; I have had the best experience with the Sony Ericsson cellular devices, so I must have that taken into account. I have dealt with Kyocera, Nokia, and Motorola but I never liked them as much as my Sony Ericsson. Why, you ask? It's just the small little details the Sony Ericsson menu is much more detailed and interactive, and lively. It might be a little more up front, but I can say from my firsthand experience that they are very durable and customizable (faceplates and such). They come with USB cables, which mean you can install those java games and applications for free.

Out of the Ericssons, I'll have to say that the w810 is the best mobile phone, as of now. The w810 sports a nifty 2.0 mega-pixel camera, comes in a black or white colour, and has a memory slot so you can upgrade (or downgrade if you are running out of money). It's a durable candy-bar phone, so you don't have to worry about breaking the swivelling or flipping mechanism. The w810 is quite popular around the area I live in, so I guess I'm not alone in this opinion. Of course, the w810 is probably more expensive than your average phone though so get ready to cough a bit of change up ($340 CDN on TigerDirect).

I hope you agree with my decision, but please - by all means, buy with discretion. When I say that, I mean Google around for reviews, videos, and opinion pieces on the w810 just to see if it's right for you. Because if you're like me and want a phone that sticks out, the w810 is not the one for you. But hopefully you're not as picky as I am.
