Best Cellular Phones for 2010
Daniel Crow
Mobile phone technology is changing all the time. Once upon a time we felt fortunate just to have a brick-sized device in our hands that could be used to call our friends on the move, whereas nowadays we expect internet connections, cameras and more. To keep up with the changing times you should be aware of the best mobile phones available in 2010, as well as how to source the best deals for your contracts using internet voucher codes.
iPhone 4G
Set for release in June, 2010, the newest addition to the range of iPhones, the iPhone 4G promises to bring new functionality to the already popular handset. So what can we expect to see Apple bring to the marketplace? Every year to date the storage size of the iPhone has been doubled, so 64GB storage on the new model can be expected. An improved camera may also be in store for users, as the iPhone falls behind its rivals with its 3.2 megapixel effort. We’re sure to see some other features set to improve the model still further, though whether there will be any improvements to the battery life with all of these extras remains to be seen.
Google Nexus One
Manufactured by HTC and running the Android operating system, an open source system making it easier for developers to create apps, the Google Nexus One could be a contender for the iPhone. With everything that you would expect from a smartphone such as easy access to the internet, an impressive range of downloadable applications and a 5 megapixel camera, the Nexus One has it all. It’s also likely to be cheaper than the price tag placed on the new iPhone, but with all of the same functionality. Whether it will make a dent in Apple’s domination of the market remains to be seen, but it’s nice to have a contender.
How to afford the best mobile phones
Smartphones aren’t cheap, and with all manufacturers seemingly heading in that direction when it comes to creating new phones, finding an affordable model is becoming increasingly difficult. Second hand solutions are always a possibility, with eBay hosting a range of older models of smartphones, and phone voucher codes can help you with money off at the outset. However, one of the best ways to obtain the latest and greatest phones could be via a contract.
Monthly contracts provide a certain amount of minutes and texts, as well as providing the phone itself for a much cheaper, if not free, rate. Contracts only make economic sense if they closely match what you actually use in a month. For example, paying for 500 minutes when you only use 200 could end up costing you. On the flipside, a contract with too few minutes will cost you more when you go over your inclusive amount. Shop around with different providers to find the best deal for you, and remember to search for free voucher codes to lower your overall costs.
