The cell phone market is always privy to advancements and innovations, and is constantly changing with the addition of new technology. Older cell phones have been made obsolete by the newer models and cell phone plans that come with them. This is why it is important to always compare cell phone plans and cell phones that are on the market before you can choose an option that will suit you. Some of the available plans are post paid plans, prepaid plans and no-contract cell phones.
One of the most obvious advantages of a no contract phone is that the user is not required to enter any contracts. The contract option can be a headache as there are many requirements for this. As for the no-contract cell phone, you will not need to go through any hustles, and can get started as soon as possible.

Pay-as-you –go and prepaid credit plans are some of the options that are available for no-contract cell phones, and can be useful to frequent travelers, businesspersons, students and teenagers among others. No-contract phones only require you to pay for the services that you are using, meaning you never have to worry about high bills at the end of the month.
Prepaid plans mean that you pay for your minutes before you can use them. In this case, you will receive no monthly bills and will not be required to sign any contract or get hidden charges. These are preferred by those on a tight budget. They are very affordable and are very good in the case of an emergency. They are also known to give great benefits in addition to good service, and you will generally be able to get your money’s worth with this service.

Choosing Correctly – Performance is the Key!
High-end features, optical appeal and even the brand can drown what cellular phones were invented for in the first place – making a call. When buying a new cell phone, it is easy to be swayed by a salesperson’s charm so we forget that purpose. True, all those other features – interface, camera, browser, etc. – are only embellishments, but they may render almost useless if the overall performance of the cell phone is poor.
Before even dropping for the actual visit on the cell phone shop, do your own research first. It is not a bad idea to list the features and other necessities that you are looking for in a cell phone. It is also recommended to read online blogs and reviews regarding cell phones that you are considering, and take note of each cell phone’s advantages and disadvantages.
If you know somebody who owns a phone model that you are eyeing, ask permission to try it out for a few moments and test its key features, especially when it comes to making a call. If you are looking for a cell phone with a good camera resolution, try its camera out on bright or dim backgrounds. If you need a phone with a powerful browser, try that one as well.
In addition, ask the owner regarding the cell phone’s battery life. No doubt you are looking for a cell phone that has a reasonable battery life, and that does not suddenly dies out on you in the middle of a call. Ideally, three hours of talk time or five days of standby time is preferable. Manufacturers have their own estimates regarding their phone models; however, real life experience is a better source of information.
If you are a little techie, you may want to check out a cell phone’s operating system (OS). Currently, there are a number of various operating systems for mobile devices - each has its own advantages and performance ups, as well as certain features supported. Looking for the right OS for your new cell phone would also benefit greatly later on when it comes to usage and performance.
Buying a new cell phone is quite complicated, because you are shelling out cash or investing on a device that you will use and have with you for a long-term relationship, and choosing your new partner could spell success or disaster. Planning ahead, researching and getting advice can greatly benefit you when choosing a new cell phone.

Tips for Finding a Cheap Cell Phone Plan
When acquiring a new phone, one of the major needs to be met is getting a cell phone plan in place. Depending on the user’s lifestyle, he or she should subscribe to a certain plan that is affordable, effective and suitable for his needs. The plan can either be a monthly bill plan, or one that allows the user to pay upfront for the credits. This solely depends on the preferences of the user. Planning for communication may seem easy, but most people find themselves handling more burdens than they planned for. Choosing a cell phone plan requires careful thinking, research and logistics.
When looking at cell phone plans, one of the most important factors a person will need to consider is coverage. There will be no need to pay a service fee every month if the coverage of the service provider is not sufficient. After acquiring a new cell phone, it is necessary to research the mobile coverage of the provider in order to decide whether or not to choose a particular plan. Next, users need to distinguish the difference between their wants and needs to be satisfied. There are basic communication needs that everyone must be entitled to, but there are also those luxury requirements that differ from one individual to the other. Learning these two differences will give a new cell phone user some direction pertaining to cell phone plans.
After putting all this into consideration, users will commonly choose between a basic individual plan and a family plan. The individual plan is split into two categories. There are cell phone plans that offer prepaid services, and there are those that offer postpaid services. Pay-as-you-go is a pre-paid service common to people who do not use their phones very often. They upload credits on their phones whenever they need to. This way they can save on hefty monthly bills. The other is a contract phone system whereby by signing a contract, the user has to use the services offered for some time, say two years, before the contract expires. Depending on the terms of the contract, the individual needs to make a consistent monthly payment in order to continue using the service. Users are also allotted a particular amount of talk time each month. If this is exceeded, there is a fee to pay at the end of the month. The family plan is similar, but it subsidizes the payment for calls made to family members.

The Wave Brought By Samsung
Samsung phones and smartphones have been a big hit ever since they were first launched. Their characteristics like affordability, desirable appearance and design, technologically advanced built-in features and multitasking capabilities have led them to be amongst the top phones in the phone industry.
One of the many Samsung phones that have been launched over the previous few years is the Samsung Wave GT S8500. Its most remarkable feature is that it was the first ever smartphone introduced by Samsung with a capacitive touch screen that worked on the Bada operating system. Bada is a portal where the developers of various applications are encouraged to do better and make the applications for the smartphone industry grow. The user interface (UI) in the Samsung Wave is Touchwhiz 3.0, which is a property of Samsung Inc. The integration of this UI in the Wave attaches important widgets like Daily Briefing, which enables the user to keep note of weather conditions, stock market rates, news about the world and other news. It also includes Feeds and Updates, which is an application that automatically sends alerts to your smartphone about current affairs and events taking place around the globe. The Wave also features Buddies, which is a social networking site that allows you to make friends, call them, text them, share pictures and audio video with them.
Very lightweight at 118g, the Samsung Wave is equipped with a 1GHz ARM CortexA8 central processing unit. The processor also has a built-in PowerVR SGX graphic tool that enables high definition video recording. Something that adds to the fun is the 3.3-inch capacitive touch screen of the phone that enables the user to capture a wider area on his phone’s screen. The screen is coated with a scratch resistant tempered glass that keeps it safe from scratches and smudges. The screen resolution of 800x480 pixels helps in getting better picture quality for captured images and videos recordings.
A 5MP camera with features that include auto focus, geo-tagging, face-smile-blink detection, image stabilization, touch focus and modes for shooting that include continuous panorama shots makes the experience of taking pictures a pleasant one. The camera has a LED flash enhancing picture quality in the absence of light, or in poor light.
The phone also features a 2GB internal storage that is expandable. The reports and reviews claim that the talk time for Wave is estimated at about 15 hours for 2G network and 7 hours for 3G network enabled phones.
Due to the absence of the Super Amoled screen in the Samsung Wave, its production was stopped and was followed by the release of the Samsung Wave II.
