Buying a new mobile phone starts with two major considerations first, which mobile set should you buy, and second, who will you choose as your service provider as carrier? When it comes to choosing a mobile phone, you can start by looking at some of the models offered by reputed mobile phone manufacturing brands such as Nokia, Apple, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG or Blackberry. If you are looking for something more affordable, you can try out other local brands or economical phone sets.
The next step while making a mobile phone deal is deciding exactly what you need in your mobile phone. Modern day phones are very capable devices and have been designed to do a wide range of tasks that are truly amazing. With the advent of 3G (Third Generation) technology, you can now enjoy high speed connectivity on your mobile phones, including a host of other exciting features such as

Most mid-range to high-end cheap mobile phones in Australia come today with 3 megapixels (or higher) digital cameras, extensive support for MP3/WMA/MP4 formats, Bluetooth 2.0, WAP, MMS (Multi-media messaging) functionality, smart PC connectivity and more. In short, the mobile phone of today is no longer just a phone, but a bona fide business, entertainment and networking tool that you can take with you anywhere.
The choice of a service provider is not an easy one either. Most carriers have very attractive plans and tariffs that you can take advantage of. Based on your usage, choose a plan that suits you best. Of course, while choosing a carrier, you also need to pay attention to such aspects as the area of coverage, signal strength, features (free or value-added), help and assistance, and so on.
