The smart phone competition is heating up every month as more phones are introduced with the newest features available on all the major cell phone carriers. One of the biggest areas in competition is the price. with all the phones available being so close in comparison with various features the selling point very well may be the price. usually carriers offer huge discounts in order for you to agree to sign a new two year contract, therefore guaranteeing that you are going to be using their service at least for the next two years. they continue to do this for existing customers as well to discourage anyone from jumping ship to a new carrier when the newest phone comes out.
The iPhone is a huge name in the smart phone market. they are offered in a variety of sizes which are directly related to the price. the smaller ones are cheaper since the larger ones give the benefit of more storage capacity. the iPhone 4G is likely to be priced similar to the iPhone 3GS was with a price of $199 for the 16GB models while the much smaller 8GB models sold for $99 with the 2 year contract. the 32GB model is $299 and the largest size that AT&T offer together. This is also the most expensive smart phone on the market in comparison to all the other options.
The other smart phones such as the Motorola Droid and Palm Pre have much smaller internal storage but can use external storage methods such as the SD cards to increase their capacity. the Droid sells for $199 with a very small internal memory of 256MB. the Palm has just as much as the smallest iPhone and is more expensive than the smallest iPhone with a price tag of $149. Apple has definitely made themselves stand out with the internal size of the phone being so great and not comparable to any other smart phone on the market. they may also alienate some of it though because many want removable storage and Apple would have lower sales of its higher sized storage models due to the ability to buy an external storage chip to serve the same purposes.
Another big name on the smart phone market is the blackberry series. the Blackberry Bold has a mere 256MB of storage space on it but has a similar price to most phones of $199. the cheapest smart phone available appears to be the Blackberry Tour 9630 for a mere $49.99 but it also has a small storage space capacity. Each phone also runs its own operating system or form of it depending on who manufactured the phone.
Most smart phones have the same features but the way they are implemented and function separates them from each other. for example, all of them have cameras but the added capabilities on these cameras and supported megapixels distinguish them from one another. the price is one of the selling points for all phones, including the iPhone 4G but it’s not the only factor to consider.
