Wirefly has created a Wireless Basics resource, where the cell phone features and wireless plans options are explained in common terms, so that you can use this knowledge to decide what’s more important to you. You will find an easy-to-follow explanation of such cell phone features as:

Advanced Features: What makes a cell phone more than a phone, such as camera, video recorder, music player and data capability. Messaging features: The ability of a cell phone to send and receive text, multimedia and other types of messages. Personalization and Fun: What makes a cell phone a fun companion for games and everyday entertainment. Core features: The essential applications of each cell phone model. Battery Life : The essential applications of each cell phone model. Technical specifications: What main technologies the phone employs to link to its network and perform its main tasks. Carrier-specific features: What unique technical benefits different wireless carriers offer for their cell phones.

I’ll throw in a couple of tips for you when shopping for a phone. Make sure one battery charge on your phone covers at least three to four hours of talk time. Keep in mind that usage affects battery life, as does the signal strength of your cellular service. A phone that constantly searches for signals will run itself down quickly. Depending on the phone, recharging the battery should take about an hour or longer. Also, ask about E911: This is especially important if you are purchasing a cell phone to replace your home phone line. You should ask your provider if its emergency services can track a handset to its exact location. Enhanced 911 service is especially important if you intend to use the phone for emergencies.

I have yet to purchase anything from their site, but it’s worth a look to see the attractive layout and large variety of products and services available in one place at the Wirefly Mobile site.
