While smartphones such as Android based Cellphones and Iphones Are amazingly usefull the battery life does seem to be a issue with them when used to their full potential daily. One of the best ways to choose a phone I have found is going on the providers website and checking out what they sell figuring out what you may like and if it is sold in stores then going to these stores to tenderly fondle um =D! Cellphones are always designed to look pretty but when you handle them and check out their GUI/OS its always a different story. Cellphones are always constantly changing towards what looks Hip and now and rarely do they consider functionality and comfort over looks.
