"What cell phone should I buy?"

April 26, 2011 - PRLog -- All professionals know that once people find out what they do they will inevitably be asked for free advice. It happens to doctors, stock brokers, mechanics, and many more people. As owner of Jet City Device Repair ( http://www.jcdrepair.com ), a shop that repairs broken cell phones for people, Matt McCormick, is frequently asked: "What cell phone should I buy?"

"Three years ago that was a simple question to answer," Mr. McCormick says, "The iPhone was head-and-shoulders above every phone on the market. But a lot has happened over the past few years and the market is now flooded with fantastic smartphones." According to Mr. McCormick, the iPhone is still near or at the top of the list but so are the Samsung Galaxy S phones, the MyTouch 4G, HTC G2, Droid Incredible, Droid X, HTC Evo, and a host of other phones. And the list of great smartphones is growing every week.

So what is his answer to the question of what cell phone to buy? He says not to worry about the phone first. Rather, figure out which carrier best suits your coverage and financial needs. Once you've found the carrier you like, then take a look at their top-tier phones. You pretty much can't go wrong at that point. Here's a short list of the phones McCormick recommends right now based on the carrier:

- AT&T: iPhone 4, Samsung Captivate, or the Motorola Atrix.
- Verizon: iPhone 4, Motorola Droid X, HTC Droid Incredible
- T-Mobile: MyTouch 4G, Samsung Vibrant, HTC G2
- Sprint: HTC Evo, HTC Evo Shift, Samsung Epic 4G
- US Cellular: Samsung Mesmerize, HTC Desire
- Cricket: Sanyo Zio

Again, this list is for today. New phones are coming out constantly so a month from now the list of phones may change completely but rest assured that the phones will only get better. So the fundamental process of picking a phone will remain the same: Select a carrier, then pick a phone.
