Dear Editor,
In recent months I have found myself anxiously anticipating a coming event, an event that many people have in common and that only occurs once every 2 years or so. Approximately every 24 months, any cell phone user will find his or herself in the same situation - our cell phone carrier allows us to select a brand new electronic companion for a reasonable price. The trouble? Deciding which electronic device we will hopefully enjoy using for the next 2 years. Though a marginally unimportant decision, there are many of us (such as myself) who cling onto their cellular device for dear life - it is the tool with which they fight their day to day battles of socializing and time-wasting. How does one decide what cell phone will be right for them? From the casual cell phone carrier to the smart phone tech-jockey, it is a decision we must all make eventually - the hard part is knowing which device is right for you.
I would like to propose an article that lays down a few simple guidelines that anyone can use to assist them in selecting their next cell phone device. As contracts typically renew once every two years, picking a cell phone is a dedication and it important to pick the one that best suits you (who wants to be stuck hating their life-line for two years!?)
To make this list of easy how-to tips, I will analyze the most common ways that people use their phones, and propose devices that best suit those styles. Sources will include cell phone enthusiasts and even an ex-cellphone salesman. The tone will be a friendly and personal one, utilizing conversationalist style and jokes.
My qualifications for an article such as this include experience and interactions with Verizon representatives, close friendship with a cellphone salesman, and a fervent enthusiasm for technology (cell phones in particular). I believe this how-to article could be a short and entertaining piece, and readers could use these tips to help them pick their next cellular device.
Thank you for your consideration,
John McCormick
