HowToBuyANewPhone

How to buy a mobile phone? What are the things to be considered? Some months ago, I bought a new phone, so I can tell how to buy.

First I decided to have a budget. Then I thought of what are the features that I want to have in my new phone. I noted it down. I had decided to go with Nokia, coz I was using Nokia since 5-6 years and I am comfortable with it.

Then I went to Nokia website and checked the phone models. Shortlisted three of them and compared its features. Then read many reviews in many forums. And finally zeroed in to one. Then called up one or two shops to know who gives the best price.

I went to a shop and they didn’t have stock of that model. Then I went to another shop. They also did not have it. Third shop people said it might come by evening. So I revisited them in the evening and then they said the stock did not come but it will come a day or two, or even next day itself.

My usual attitude is if I decided to buy something, I will buy it. So I told them my requirement and asked them to suggest a phone. I went back home with a brand new phone….. How happy I am with that phone?

Well, I am not happy. Now you know how NOT to buy a mobile phone !!!!!
