A student's guide to buying a phone
Sunday, September 4th, 2011 · 6:40 pm
September is the month of students. They come in groups of three, with a budget of 400 som and an opinion of 3,000. Here's what I tell them:
- Buy a phone with a removable battery. When the battery dies in two years, you will not need a new phone.
- Buy a phone that takes a big memory card. You will want music and photos.
- Do not buy the phone your friend bought. Your hands are not his hands.
- Ask for a case in the box. If they say no, ask for a discount.
- Keep the box and the receipt for six months.
And the final rule: the best phone is the one you will not be afraid to lose on the bus.
