What to consider when buying cheap cell phones

To make a good buy, you need to ask yourself what you’ll be using the phone for.
    Do you just want to talk to friends and family a few hours a week?
    Are you going to regularly check your emails with it?
    Are you going to use it as a hot line for your business?
    Do you send a lot of text messages?
    Do you intend to play 3D games on it?
Answers to these questions impact the choice of phone. A phone to be used for sending lots of text would have QWERT-style keypads. To send or check emails it’ll have WAP/GPRS/3G for surfing the web. To play 3D games, it would have color screen with enough memory and processing ability to handle graphics.Battery life is also an important factor while making your choice.
