Requirements for a cell phone

Filed under: General — Jeffrey Yasskin @ 9:45 pm

I need to get a new cell phone, so I’m putting together a list of requirements so I don’t forget half when I go to buy one.

Essential:

  • Text messaging
  • Internet
  • Easy-to-access vibrate mode
  • Ability to edit numbers, names, tags, etc.
  • Dictionary-based input mode so I only need to hit each key once.
    • Should add names in my phonebook to this dictionary, especially when I’m looking for a number.
    • Should be the default input mode on all screens but allow me to switch out of it.
  • Alarm clock
  • Voice mail

Wanted:

  • Let me program it.
  • Transfer data to/from computer or my next phone
  • Configurable defaults for all settings
  • Guarantees on service quality

Eh:

  • Camera
  • Lots of ringtones
