Whether key-navigated or touch screen, lines and lines of fresh mobile phone models are being churned out by the big names like Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and (as of late) Apple – each model catered to the individual with ever-growing needs for ever-changing lifestyles.
But features like the multi-touch screen or the mp3 player or the built-in web browser don’t always work for everyone. Mobile phone features are designed and installed while being taken into consideration the needs of a specific demographic: the businessman, the audio junkie, the trendsetter, and so forth. That’s why in choosing the right phone for you, pick the one that fits the individual needs of your own lifestyle:
THE NO-NONSENSE
You have phone models built for the basic mobile phone functions, like making and receiving calls and text messages. None of the flashy features like WiFi capability, digital camera or web browser; these models leave those to other gadgets. It’s plain and simple calling and texting – something that a significant demographic would actually find pleasantly refreshing and liberating (and the fact that they’re comparatively cheaper is a plus). The Nokia 3109 and Samsung E1080T are examples.

More often than not, these phones will be the preference of those who want a device for faster communication with others, but could care less about the newest developments in mobile technology. This could be a great gift for, say, Grandma or Grandpa.
Matamobile, an Austrian firm, is already two steps ahead, releasing a line of mobile phones specifically for the older generation. Called the Amplicom PowerTel M5010, this handset is devoid of any hi-fi features that could confuse the elderly.

It does, however, have an extra-large keypad, a large 4.3cm white-on-black display with large fonts, an extra loud ringer and speaker volume, has hearing aid compatibility, and an emergency call button that automatically contacts 5 numbers in sequence in case of an emergency.
THE SOCIAL BUTTERFLY
For people who live to be in the company of others, the best option is a phone that can manage to help them stay connected with their growing army of friends, and best capture the must-see highlights of an event, big or small.
The Sony Ericsson Satio is a good example. This mobile phone with touch-screen interface comes with a serious 12.1 megapixel camera with Xenon flash and face detection feature for the best photos you can get. Its data transfer feature allows you to sync it with your old phone’s contacts, calendars, notes and bookmarks, making sure you never lose one number and never miss one social call.

Its GPS system gives you the ease to head off to that new hangout without getting lost. Also, caught a moment on video, and it’s just too good for you to wait till tomorrow to tell your friends? The SE Satio’s YouTube compatibility solves that problem for you: upload and be on your way!
For the cybersocialite determined to never miss a beat in the world of social networking, one of the best bets would be the Samsung Corby Pro. Corby’s 100 customizable widgets enable the user to stay on top of their social network activity with its one-click access to top social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.

Its multi-IM feature brings together a number of instant messaging services in one application, and allows for the exchange of text messages, voice messages, and photos with contacts from a range of services.
Corby’s unique feature of sending simultaneous pop-up notifications of any updates on any social network makes it probably one of the friendliest mobile phones for the online socialite.
THE EXECUTIVE
Executives expect their phones to be just like everything else they depend on: quick, complete, comprehensive, and fully-loaded with whatever they might need at a moment’s notice. For this demographic, features like email browser, personal organizer, web browser, are nothing short of expected.
The Blackberry Bold 9700 answers the call of every businessman: its QWERT keypad and 3G capability gives any executive the ease and efficiency that they so heavily depend on. Its internal memory is expandable to up to 16GB, allowing enough storage for all possible information. It carries an email push feature and a document editor – perfect for the on-the-go businessman.

Other features include a 3.2 megapixel camera, video conferencing feature, a high-end processor, a GPS system and geotagging feature, a 2.44” display with light sensor, and Bluetooth connectivity.
The BlackBerry Bold 9700 tops it off with a sleek, elegant dark chrome frame with stylish leatherette back – the perfect look for today’s executive.
Another option is the Nokia E72. Its features are designed to collectively make any executive’s life easier with capabilities like email retrieval, Internet connectivity and high-speed transfer via HSDPA, 3G, GPRS and WLAN; a quad-band GSM that allows you to connect with anyone on any continent; other connectivity features including Bluetooth and infrared.

Its QWERTY keyboard and large display makes for increased productivity in editing and creating documents on the fly. And get the gift of peace of mind with its remote device locking through SMS locking. And the E72 allows for device wipe and device lock – covering all security bases and preventing data loss or theft.
The Nokia E72 features a maximum memory space of 16GB capacity – enough space for all important documents. And finally, its comprehensive QWERTY keypad comes with shortcuts to the calendar, email, and web browser.
THE AUDIOPHILE
For those who just can’t get by without their daily dose of tunage, the perfect mobile phone combines the functionality of compact and easy communication, with the versatility and power of the best mp3 players available. For music buffs, it’s not enough to have a phone with a media player: it has to have the capacity to make compiling and listening to an extensive collection of songs seem like a breeze.
For an order as tall as this, the best option would be the Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman phone. This baby is packed with enough features that could make any audiophile chew on their headphone cords: its 2.6-inch display 2ith 240×320 resolution allows users to experience impressive audio-video viewing. Its built-in Walkman 4.0 SensMe feature automatically arranges songs based on style and tempo. And if a chronologically-arranged song list is not your style, simply give the w995 a shake to shuffle your playlist.

The W995 also comes with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) connectivity, a technology that connects entertainment devices within a home to a single network, thereby allowing content sharing. This means the W995’s content – audio or video – can be played from any DLNA-compatible device in your home.
The w995 also comes with the free Media Go application that automatically converts all media files for phone playing compatibility. It features a user-friendly interface that allows for a simple drag-and-drop transfer of any song, video (even full-length movies), photo or podcast from the computer to the phone.
Other features include a video and image stabilizer, the fitness aid step counter application Walk Mate, photo and video blogging compatibility, Google Maps, aGPS, an FM Radio, access to Youtube, and an 8.1 megapixel camera with 16x digital zoom.
The Nokia X6 also cranks up the volume on catering to music fans, with its Comes With Music edition that allows you to download all the songs from all the artists you want from the Nokia Music Store, all for free for 12 months. It comes with a 32GB internal memory, giving you the freedom to load up this baby with all the songs you can think of.

The user-friendly Nokia Music application also lets you transfer your music from the PC – downloaded or copied from CDs – to your mobile phone. Creating playlists and managing your music collection has never been easier. The X6’s 3.2-inch high-definition 16-million color LCD screen with touch response allows for better, smoother browsing of the web and all media stored in your mobile phone – giving you a flawless experience of listening to your favorite tunes wherever you go.
THE CYBERSURFER
The rocket-speed rise of the mobile Internet trend has caused mobile phone manufacturers to heavily consider web browsing capability as an integral phone feature. Key features would include compatibility (to say the least) with a range of web connection options, coupled with online media support and an internal processor capable of supporting the requirements of serious web browsing, and top-notch mobile communication functionality.
For today’s growing hoard of mobile web surfers, our top recommendation is the Nokia N900 Internet Tablet, packed with the web-friendliest features including a Mozilla-powered web browser, high-speed wireless broadband connection, a QWERTY keypad, in-page browser search function, and Flash support.
Nokia N900 (P29,990)
The N900 also lets you download web content and save it to the phone memory. The Zoom function may be activated via the volume rocker, double-tapping on the specific area on the screen, or making a circular motion with the finger.
Finally, the N900 allows you to connect with all your online contacts by allowing for multiple chats from different IM services. Switching from one chat window to another can be done with a simple tap of the screen.
Other features of the N900 include a 5 megapixel camera that comes with Carl Zeiss optics, for the best photo and video capture you can get. Attach tags to your multimedia, and share them online via the built-in Ovi Share feature.
