The first thing to consider is what you will use your smartphone for. For most people, the answer is calls, texts, email and web browsing. Any smartphone will allow you to do these things, but if you'll be sending lots of texts and emails, you may prefer a hardware keyboard rather than an on-screen model. BlackBerrys aren't the only smartphones with physical keys, but you might be surprised how quick and easy it is to type on a virtual touchscreen keyboard.
Apps are the other major consideration, as third-party programs vastly expand the capabilities of your smartphone. Apple's App Store and Google's Android Market have hundreds of thousands of apps to choose between, covering just about every possible task from finding train times to organising recipes. If you're also thinking of buying a tablet , it's worth choosing the same platform as many apps you buy will work on both devices.
