Switching Phone Brands - What To Know

How likely are you just to switch Cell phone brands (apple iphone, android, windows phone, blackberry) just because your friends have a new phone model. Are you part of the fad that has to have the latest technology with phones even if that means you don't truely understand or know how to use the phone and get it just because it is shiny and new on the market. Just to have bragging rights with your associates about the new phone you have just went out and purchased. Do you do research on a phone before you purchase it or do you just go out there and get a phone because it is new and it seems like everyone else has it. I myself am a technology junkie but I do my research before I go out and buy any new technology gadget, to make sure I am getting the right phone for my needs despite what all the latest rave is on certain products. I happen to be the go to person for my close group of friends and family when someone is in need of some technical expertise or just some information on what is out there before they go and hear all the big words from the sales person trying to sell them something they don't want or need or even really understand due to some big words and catchy sayings that have convinced them that they need this phone. Just some things to think about before you make a rash decision and get stuck with something you don't need or really understand all the things it can do. Just do your research ask someone that you know understands the terminology and knows what the phone or gadget can do and possibly help you before you make a decision that you can not change and get stuck in a situation that you do not like.
