Mobiles are a must have for all teenagers and the latest phones will no doubt be on most teenagers Christmas lists. Most wanted phones will need the ability to access important sites for teenagers like facebook, twitter & myspace with speed and ease to quickly update the world on the inner most feelings of an adolescent. They will also need to look cool, sleek and stylish for the most discerning teen! Below is the basic list of the top ten phones ideal for your teen:
- iPhone 3GS – Probably the most well known touchscreen mobile phone, the iPhone 3GS boasts extra powerful hardware , faster network speeds, double storage space and 3.2 megapixel auto focus camera. And most importantly comes with 3G and Wi-Fi for easy access to the web.
- INQ Mini 3G – Designed to be an internet friendly budget mobile, INQ Mini 3G features a 3G connection meaning you can access sites like Skype, Facebook and Messenger through the application on the phone. You can also choose from a number of colour choices.
- HTC HD2 – Windows designed phone with the latest software, which is controlled by a large captive screen which is great for surfing the web with either 3G or Wi-Fi. This high end Smartphone is completed with everything you would possibly need from a mobile.
- LG Chocolate – One of the most chic mobiles out there the LG Chocolate will appeal to the most stylish of teens. But it doesn’t only look good it also works great too and has a decent task manager and also comes with 3G.
- Sony Satio – This phone boasts the best camera on a mobile, a state of the art 12 mega pixel autofocus camera to be exact, it also has a microSD card slot (up to 32GB) to store all the photo’s you will no doubt take. Also not to forget the 3G & Wi-Fi so you can upload all your fantastic pics onto the internet!
- Nokia N97 – The ease of this phone is key as it has a QWERTY keyboard for those who find typing on a touchscreen hard or for those who would use it for longer emails. The phone also comes with 32GB memory which is handy for storing lots of photo’s and videos.
- HTC Hero – An all round mobile with lots of style and function. With 3G & Wi-Fi for easy internet access and web browser with flash. A 5 megapixel autofocus camera with video recording and a standard mini USB port for sending data to your desktop and charging.
- Blackberry Storm2 – A lot more improvements have been made from the original Storm, this phone has a more responsive screen with a sensor for auto rotate and the phone, along with most others comes with 3G & Wi-Fi connection , however the 3.2 megapixel camera is not the best in the range.
- Palm Pre – This phone also comes with a QWERTY keyboard but differently to other this slides out from the bottom rather than the side. It is also pretty much the same as most touchscreen mobiles out there with 3G and Wi-Fi connection and a decent touchscreen for good internet viewing.
- Samsung Corby – Is more along the lines of a more budget phone which offers integrated sites such as Facebook Twitter and MySpace. It also comes with as they are called, 2 interchangeable Fashion Jackets that come in Jamaican Yellow, Cupid Pink, Minimal White, and Festival Orange ideal for any indecisive teen.
I don’t know why they haven’t put Android on the HTC HD2, i don’t think windows mobile takes that well to a touch screen environment.
