Cell phone research...

So I'm going to be taking a class this semester called mobile lab. Pretty much it will be creating media and applications using cell phones . Now the class will be supplying the cell phones, but one the class is over, we will of course have to give the phones back. =(
Well the past couple of weeks I have been researching different kinds of cell phones to see what I might be able to get for myself incase I might want to continue trying my hand at cell phone based projects. At the moment I can neither afford the type of cell phones that we will be using nor does my current provider, which is Sprint, carry some of the best phones out there for this area. I really don't know what it is, but Sprint always seems to behind everyone in the phone market. I mean it took them nearly a year and a half to finally pick-up the razor. So here I am looking at other cell phones that are of course offered by other providers. One of them being the I-phone which I really want one (many might argue that that is due to my love for Apple) but the I-Phone is for another blog entry.
I got pretty tired of going from website to website and just reading the reviews and looking at pic of the phones. I want to actually see what they were capable of. So I decided to hit youtube. It was here that i found video reviews for many of the different phones out there. The one that have been using the most is from phonescoop, which have a website under the same name. There are other groups on youtube that also do their own reviews of the phones, which can be good just so that you can get different opinions of the phones, but phonescoop has worked out just fine for me for the moment. Now I still haven't decided what phone could work the best for me, but the great thing is thanks to video hosting sites like youtube, it is a bit easier really see the full capability of the product that you interested in knowing about.
