Our Advice

I. Ascertain your gender

Just buying a smartphone without considering the look isn't smart! Verify that the phone will look good in your hands.

Girls: Slim profile, Light colors

Boys: Those very slim phones are a big NO NO! Dark colors will look good generally, whites are also good if the phone is bit bulky.

Women: Still, slim profile and light colors. Avoid flashy colors like pink. Stick with sober colors like shades of white, silver, light grey etc.
Men: Strong profile. Dark colors. BlackBerry Bold looks perfect for men!

III. Decide your Budget window

Well, while searching for your perfect phonemate from above description, you must have probably got an idea about how much you wish to pay. Still, empty that piggy bank and wallet, take loan from dad, or loot a friend but now fix your budget.

IV. Reviews

Google is your friend! Once you have settled down with few sets, google about the reviews and specifications. Do not read reviews on the company's own website (do I have to say that?), search on any trustworthy third party websites. This will make you select ONE out of last few!

V. Buy it from an authorized dealer

Well, this is neglected by many. But its always best to buy it from authorized dealers. Also, if you are buying online, buy it from a legitimate place. eBay is generally soaked with crackheads! Inquire before buying and abstain yourself from buying that phone at 90% off! Its never, NEVER EVER EVER! NEVER! It must be a Chinese rip off or refurbished handset, or maybe it will never reach you! Happy buying!

VI. Send me a donut

Well, you can kinda skip this!

Happy buying!
