Mobile Phones for Christmas: choosing the best phone

The market of new mobile phones for Christmas is as extensive as ever. Whether you’re looking to treat yourself to the gift of a new phone, or you’re buying one for a loved one as a Christmas present, you may end up bewildered by the choices on offer. HTC, Samsung, Nokia, Apple, LG and Sony are all vying to be the number one choice this winter and each have different specialisations.

Most people still just use a phone for calling and texting with use of other applications at a minimum; other people are more obsessive with their telephones, tending to order their lives from their handset. The scope of what people desire a mobile phone to do is massive and this is reflected in the market. When someone used to get their phone out and fiddle with it, you would presume they were making a text. Now they could be Tweeting, snooping around on Facebook or surfing the net. Therefore, when tying yourself in to a 24 month contract, it’s vital that you choose a phone tailored to your needs.

Dual core super phones have revolutionised the market, giving ordinary mobile phones processing power that you would associate with a far bigger machine. The new iPhone would be an obvious example of this but there are other dual core phones in competition.

The HTC sensation is a dual core piece of prime technology. It has a 1.2GHz processor and a 4.3inch high resolution screen, making it the highest spec HTC yet. For something a tad quirkier the LG Optimus is the first glasses free smart phone. Reports suggest that the 3D technology works a treat and could feature on more phones in the future. It demands a powerful processor and the dual core duly obliges. So if you are the type that uses a phone only to call or text, this Christmas could be the time to step into a world where the mobile phone can offer access to the goldmines of the information age.
