Low, Mid And Top End Phone Recommendations
October 28th 2011 14:00
At least once a week I get emails from friends asking me which phones to get in a certain price range. This changes all the time – the amount of new phones being released at the moment is crazy – but I thought I’d make a post just so I can have a place to direct people when they need help.
Low Budget
If you’re on a low budget then forget about getting any of the higher quality smart phones and just do yourself a favour and get a simple phone. It’s difficult to get wrong with this as there is very little difference between the various phones in the low budget range.
Mid Budget
If you have a bit of money to spend but don’t want to get the best phones on the market then you might want to consider going for the BlackBerry Torch 9810. You can get some very cheap contracts for it, and it’s a solid phone with all the polish that you’d expect from a BlackBerry. The BlackBerry Torch 9860 has since replaced this version, but I still think that it’s worth the money you pay for it.
High Budget
It’s difficult to argue that the iPhone 4S isn’t the best phone on the market at the moment. Yes, it’s not a great leap forward from the last iPhone, but it does enough to make it a worthwhile investment compared to other phones. Other choices might include the HTC Desire HD or Samsung Galaxy S2 - especially if you don’t like the restrictions on an Apple phone or if all your music isn’t in iTunes. I personally have the Desire HD now, after upgrading from the original Desire, and I’d definitely recommend it. The next phone I get will probably be the iPhone though, as I think it’s still the best around (although it’s much closer these days).
What do you think of my choices? Do you agree with them? I realise the Torch 9810 might be a controversial choice, although it’s difficult to pick just one phone from the very convoluted mid budget range. It would be interesting to hear what other people think though, as I think this post could develop into a great resource for people looking to buy a new phone.
