Buying Gadgets

The trend of getting the newest phone or tablet right after they come out is such a marketing trick that a lot of people fall for it. Their are a few standard thing you have to understand before you spend hard earned money.

*First one do you need a new gadget? Actually do you just want it or is it necessarily for you work/life?
*Second does a different gadget fulfill the same purpose?
*Third what do you look for in a gadget?

I give a simple example of my own wants. I want to have a smartphone that has an active dual sim so I can use two simcard to receive calls or messages. Why because if your on vacation I want to reach my contact for  less money with a local card and still being reachable with my own number. Also my tablet doesn't have a slot for a simcard and I want to be online even when I am not home. The phone has to be able to function as a wifi hotspot or at least connect with other devices to use the internet.

But while I am at home I need wifi connection so I don't pay buckets of money to be online. The phone needs wifi. I do like  to make pictures but it doesn't have to be a 10 megapixels on the back but clear photos would be fine. A front camera is also a must so I can skype all over the world.

Next is battery life, at least a day without charging which means 24 hours without being plugged
Preferably a second battery with higher voltage if needed and that's about it.
I don't like a slow phone so I want my processor to be running 1ghz or higher. And the possibility to
expanding memory with micro sd card.

So begin January I bought a playstation controller on amazon.de and I have to say I am quite happy with the delivery and product. It's a gift that I like to give and de receiver was happy too. So think before you buy a gadget next time.
