The never ending search




The Samsung Jet and the Samsung Corby

After I decided to put my mobile phone to rest, I started the search for a brand new one to enter into a fresh partnership, a relationship that will be different to the last. As a journalist studying new media, I want a mobile phone that would be a useful tool for journalism, a phone with a decent camera, recording functions, a reasonably fast web browser and a keypad easy to use.

I thought ending my relationship with my last mobile phone was the hard part but I was soon mistaken. A search that I believed would take five minutes took what felt like a life time, slowly eating away at my bandwidth. I was more confused than ever with the variety of mobile phones to choose from, ranging from Motorolas to Nokias and Samsungs to Iphones. It was like trying to choose between a Jenni Button suit and a Gucci bag, you want them both. It was overwhelming but my search did not end there.

I then stumbled across journalist, Galen Schultz's blog, Witness This, which provided more than just a list of the mobile phones functions but also his personal opinion on each mobile phone he describes. It drew my attention to two mobile phones in particular, the Samsung Jet and the Samsung Corby.
