A quich check with Lynx suggests that you expect users to already have an
intimate knowledge of the features of every phone and know exactly what
phone they want.
If I didn't know one phone from another, it appears that I would have to
look up every model separately to find out which deal was the best for me
(and I still wouldn't know what features were supported/unsupported).
How about adding a lookup for the best deals using *any* phone.
How about a features comparison list for phones?
-- memory?
-- durability?
-- keyboard design? (can accidental bumps dial out?)
(I've read of accidental bumps to a phone in someone's pocket
summoning emergency services (911 or 999 or similar))
-- moisture resistance (in case a user is caught in the rain)?
-- screen (resolution?, colour?, backlight?)
-- battery life?
-- replacement battery cost?
-- speech enabled? (Can a blind person use it?)
-- cost of speech software if available?
-- can the phone account be easily transferred to another carrier?
-- etc.
-- etc.
-- etc. (including a lot of other important things I never thought of
since I have never had a portable phone)
