What phone should I buy?! The answer to this common question depends on 2 things: what kind of person you are, and your budget.
If you’re the kind of person that likes to follow trends and you have a good budget, you would buy an iPhone 4 or a Samsung Galaxy S2. A year back I would have added a Blackberry to the list. (This was written in early 2012.)
But I don’t want to buy the same phone that everyone else has! What now?
If you’re the kind of person that doesn’t like to follow trends, but would rather be somewhat different and get a phone that’s not really common, here’s a non-mainstream list of the best alternative smartphones worth checking out:
