Finding a cell phone can be somewhat difficult, simply because there are so many different types of phones to choose from — plus mobile devices aplenty, and since all of them do so many different things, it is supremely hard to tell where to get started.

So you need to begin by asking yourself some questions, such as: what do you need? Specifically, what do you intend to do with your phone? If text messaging and access to email is important to you, then you need a phone that will allow you to do all of that. If not, then you can save a lot of money by choosing a more standard phone.

You will even need to decide what kind of keypad you want, what kind of keyboard, and whether you want a flip phone, a simple handset, or a slider.

LG is one of those companies that is constantly coming out with brand new phones and tomorrow – did you hear me people?  Tomorrow, they are coming out with the brand new LG Shine II.  This is a phone that I have been waiting for, forever it seems like and finally, on November 22nd, they are going to hook the LG Shine II onto the AT&T network!

This phone is actually an edgy slider that has a 2.2-inch wide mirror LCD display, a 2MP camera with flash, a music player with customizable equalizer, AT&T Navigator and Java 2.0 support.

The price tag on it is $119.99 with a two year contract after the mail-in rebate.  It is honestly a phone that is worth the money and going to be awesome for anyone looking for a cheap, LG phone!

One thing that I’ve noticed about the Nokia 5800 is that it really and truly needed an update.  Now, finally, now it has had its update and it is better than ever, which is saying something because I thought that the Nokia 5800 was actually pretty damn cool.  However, the latest firmware update is pretty cool.

For example, an advanced e-mail application, a better version of Ovi Maps 3.0, an easier navigation experience and a lot of bugs disappeared. You’ll be able to download the update directly from Nokia’s Software Update website starting today.

Right now though … this update is not available in the states, just in Europe and Asia, however soon, the update will be worldwide!

Oh, finally – finally, finally, Wednesday, the BlackBerry Storm2 comes out to be purchased.  I think that this particular phone has been one of the most anticipated and it has definitely been at the top of my list – which is rare of me to have a phone at the top of my list.  If you are like me and have been waiting, October 28th is finally the day for us!

This particular phone offers up a slew of technology inside of it – for example a large 3.25-inch 480 x 360 capacitive touchscreen display, a 3.2MP camera with autofocus and flash, a 2GB of onboard memory, a microSD/SDHD card slot (16GB card included), GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headset jack, BlackBerry OS 5.0 and supports both UMTS/HSPA (2100Mhz) as well as quad-band EDGE/GPRS/GSM connectivity.

All of that and you get $100.00 off with a 2-year contract?  That is a pretty incredible deal huh?

While the Samsung Blue Earth was introduced first in February, people around the world have been waiting for this particular phone to be released throughout it.  This month, Sweden is going to be the one that gets this particular phone.  The first and only truly eco-friendly phone in my opinion and honestly … I think that it is pretty awesome.

If you are in another country and waiting for this phone – well, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal and other European and Asian countries are going to follow along.  There is no real word on what the prices will be or when these particular phones will be released in what country but rest assured, they are coming!

For those of you that don’t know about Samsung’s Blue Earth, I can tell you that this phone actually has a built-in pedometer that will tell you how much CO2 emissions you have saved by walking instead of driving and you actually charge this phone via the sun!

I have been waiting for some word about the Motorola Ruby V13 – this is a clamshell phone that I think is going to be not only beautiful (I mean, look at it, it’s silver!) but it is actually going to be a pretty decent phone … for a clamshell that is.  Finally though, the Motorola Ruby V13 has passed and been approved for Bluetooth SIG and I think that is great!

Now, down to the specs on the Motorola Ruby V13: 2.2-inch QVGA internal display with a 2-inch QVGA external touchscreen display, CDMA/Ev-Do connectivity, a 5MP camera with autofocus, and Bluetooth.  All of which are just the beginning on this particular phone.

No word on pricing or when you can get it – but I can promise that this is a phone that is going to fly right off of the shelves!

Let’s go ahead and talk about Nokia shall we?  This is a company that I actually had a phone from wayyyyy back when I first got my very first cell phone.  Now, they are still going strong and shipping – selling all over the world and to me, that is something awesome!  Nokia is a brand that produces some really good phones and they are for the most part affordable, which is what many people are looking for nowadays.

Finally though, the Nokia N86 8MP is going to be released in the US market.  This is a cell phone that I have been waiting for, for quite a while.  The reason for it?  Because it’s a fantastic slider phone!  The Nokia N86 8MP features an 8MP camera with dual-LEDs flash, GPS, S60 3rd edition FP2 operating system, a 2.6-inch QVGA OLED display, US 3G up to 3.6Mbps on the downlink, and WiFi connectivity.

While the price is about $468.99, it is so worth it … that and more, because this phone is so awesome!

It seems to be the year of the HTC. Sprint? They have the HTC Snap. T-Mobile? Well, they have the HTC Dash 3G over there. And now Verizon is joining the ranks, this time with the HTC Ozone. As you might expect, is it quite similar to the HTC Snap and the HTC Dash 3G, especially in terms of their subtle networks, their features, and even some aspects of their designs.

Like the other two HTC phones, the Ozone has navigational controls; it also features the standard directional keypad. It does not have any system or features which would allow users to prioritize their contacts, but it features Wi Fi and is able to connect to the computer’s modem so that using the internet is possible.

First it was the keyboard, now it is all about the touchscreen – in this day and age, the face of cell phones have changed drastically and the newest phone by Nokia that has been released in China is seriously taking that change to the next level.  The Nokia 3208c Touchscreen is actually a very cool, very hip phone that the Chinese market has already adopted as one of their own.

This particular phone is available in graphite black or white pearl.  The entry-level candy bar phone adopts a handwriting recognition with a 2.4-inch TFT QVGA touchscreen display with 260k colors, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headset jack, an MP3 player, a 2MP shooter, and a 1,020 mAh battery, all if which is awesome for a brand new phone!

The great thing about buying this phone?  It comes with a 1GB memory card in the box, so no need to buy one!

When you talk about phone carriers, the one thing that you need to think about is the phones that they carry as well as the customer service.  T-Mobile, as I am sure that I have mentioned is by far one of the favorite phone carriers and to be perfectly honest, I think that they are definitely one carrier that knows their phones and has a whole lot to choose from!

Take the Huawei U8220 for example.  This phone is definitely incredible and while Europe will be seeing it the most, we can still look it up!  Some of the specs include:  a 3.5 inch touchscreen display with 320 x 480 pixels, a 3.2MP camera, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA 5.76 Mbps, Wi-Fi, GPS, a MicroSD card and Bluetooth 2.0.  It is only for the T-Mobile network and good luck trying to unlock it … seriously.

Right now, no word on pricing but hopefully soon!
