Wired: Buyers Guide – Mobile Phones

This guide reviews and compares the major national carriers and explains what to look for in a mobile phone – from basic features such as operating system, text entry and multimedia, to extras such as Wi-Fi, 3G/4G and more.


“Phone shopping is more complicated than it was in the days when a dial tone was all you needed.

Today’s devices are multifaceted communication tools that do far more than simply make and receive calls. (Some don’t even do the calling part all that well, figuring that you’d rather text your friends anyway.)

That, combined with a sudden explosion of OS options, apps and skins, have made deciding which phone to buy as complicated as shopping for a computer.”
