The basic use of mobile phones in youth and by me are as follows...
>> Music
>> Chatting (need qwerty)
>> A decent Camera for clicking the moments in life
>> A decent battery for lasting a day and more
>> Entertainment features like games and apps to pass the time when your girlfriend is late for the date, LOL

AnonD-3607, 01 Apr 2011Also add a option how often we charge the device .. really ... moreI remember back then when I first got my SGS Captivate, I was having fits and was so close to returning it. I wanted to throw the thing into the wall. It's like draining 10% every hour and it's insane. The battery got better and better with each passing day though. Now I'm getting a whole day out of it with moderate use. Juice Defender and variable clock speed helps a lot. I rooted and now my Cappy is overclocked and stable at 1.4 GHz and the lowest clock speed is 200 MHz.
I mainly use my phone for SMS/MMS, browsing the net OTG, watching videos, and calls in that order. I rarely play games on it.

two ideas for thought:
- using the phone as a mass storage device
- utilizing the phone as a hotspot for other devices (tethering)

May be put in a line and ask "How proud are you of your current phone?" and rate that on a scale of 1 to 5 followed by "How much will you prefer to buy/recommend another phone from same brand?" (Rate scale 1 to 5). This, I hope, will give a general feeling of brand values and brand retention. Thanks guys

Also add a option how often we charge the device .. really love my Nokia 1616 now .. goes without a charge for 5 days .. and my other ultimate device Moto Defy needs a plug twice a day .. really at least 2 days should be a minimum on moderate use .. smartphones are smart in every aspect except battery life which nullifies their smartness :( ..

Calling in 2g network.
Battery life should be considered.
Phone display unit should be considered in terms of resolution,ppi and contrast ratio.
For southeast asian country like bangladesh 3G is still not there so in our case call quality,edge connection is very important.not to mention that we have good number of people,who are using gsmarena.com for judging a phone.so please give edge performance for 2g or 2.5g network .
Thanks
