I think the Christmas shopping is going to be pretty easy this year because everyone in my family wants one of the latest smart phones. There are lots of awesome Android devices around this year along with Android e-readers, tablets and mp3 players. Android is the most widely used mobile platform so it's difficult to go wrong.
The top Android mobile phones are brands such as Motorola, Sony and Samsung. I already own the Samsung Galaxy SII and the more I use it the more I love it. Internet access is fast and I'm only just beginning to understand and upload some of the latest apps that are available. Both my son and daughter are in college and I know that having the latest Android device will help them in many ways, especially for quickly looking up coursework and communicating with their friends.
I started shopping around for good deals on Android phones in early November. Unfortunately many of the prices haven't budged for Christmas. I actually found my carrier offers the best prices this year and because I've been with them so long I got some killer deals.
If you're buying a cell phone or mobile device for a loved this Christmas and they haven't expressed a preference, take a few minutes to decide what they would possibly want in a new cell phone.
Older people may like a larger screen. Some folks use the built-in camera frequently, especially grandparents like me, and I looked for an eight megapixel camera that had good reviews. A 1.2 GHz dual core processor will give awesome performance, that's what my Samsung device has and I have no complaints. I just love the touch screen on it as well. For kids that text a lot then a device that is responsive and easy to use will be a good choice.
Now the question comes what am I going to do with everybody's old cell phones? None of them are particularly old and I could give them to a charity who will then distribute them to old folks or people who may be at risk. I could also go online and see if they're worth selling for cash. As for the really old devices that are lying around in drawers and cupboards, I'm simply going to recycle them at the local electronics store.
I'm sure it won't be long before the words "cell phone" go the way of the old manual typewriter, I must get into the habit of calling these things mobile devices and not cell phones!
