If you don't want to read that here's a quick outline of what you need to look for when deciding which is the best phone for you. Deciding which operating system you want to go with is the first step. You have the choice of an iPhone and its easy to use iOS mobile operating system, a massive array of Android phones powered by Google, Microsoft’s Windows Phones and BlackBerry 10, though sadly no current Windows Phone or Blackberry phones makes our top 10 list of best phones. iOS offers the slickest and easiest and the best selection of apps and games while Android has a larger choice of mobiles and more potential for tweaking the phone to your needs. Windows Phone is a great alternative though its lack of support by manufacturers limits your hardware options and app support still trails way behind what Android and iOS have to offer. Meanwhile BlackBerry is only available on the one or two BlackBerry handsets still available – it's a nice enough option but only for a niche market or those desperate for a physical keyboard on their phone.
