depends what you want the phone for? you going to be texting much? you need a nice big screen with bigger font? one wiht a good colour screen and camera to take photos? just going to recieve and make calls? you want a handy one? slim with less features but light and not bulky?you want a cool and stylish one? whats your budget?...theres really lots to look into..tons of phones out in the market for different users...it really depends..no use getting a fancy ass one with tons of applications like calendars,radios,games,bluetooth,organiser,voice recorder,gazzillion games, stop watch, countdown timer.....etc...etc...too many to mention
I suggest you decide your budget and work from there. Sometimes deals which come with cellphone providers also make expensive and new models more affordable...so those are worth looking into as well.
