The cell phone didn't start out with bells and whistles - it was as basic as you can get and you didn't have too many choices. Older mobile phones were only good for making and receiving calls. Times are a lot different now, and one of the best phones these days are T-Mobile smart phones.

The large selection of phones both in stores and online today means that if you don't like what one company has to offer, you can look and see what their competitor has instead. T-Mobile is one of those many manufacturers and their smart phones are responsible for a large share of the cell phone market.

One of the main choices you need to decide on before you shop is whether or not you want a touch screen. You may find it quite convenient even if at first the transition from buttons to touch may not be as smooth as expected.

Touch screen phones are fast and a lot handier to use than the phones with button only. Just place your finger on the screen and you're all set. Just like taking candy from a baby. Touch screen becomes more and more popular as opposed to buttons, which means you may have more touch screen phones to choose from in the future.

There are some people, though, who aren't too sold on touch screen, say that it's just a waste of money for a bigger-than-usual cell phone. That isn't always the case. T-Mobile smart phones include the latest in touch screen technology and a lot of interesting and useful features in a phone that is much lighter compared to other phones in its class.

For proof, take a look at their Dash Phone. It's far from being cumbersome at 4.2 ounces. It's slim and attractive and yet still provides users the sought after Qwerty keyboard. EDGE allows you to browse the Internet, as does Wi-Fi. And if you're a person with a busy work schedule, you get Microsoft Office applications like Excel, Word and Powerpoint, which allows you to do take-home work while on the go.

The Dash Phone isn't the only phone T-Mobile phone you'll love. Their G1 Phone with Google is a hit and comes in a variety of colors. Whether you're a busy executive, a student or young professional, the G1 is a versatile phone with a host of features, including Google Mail and Maps.

With this phone, if you go with a contract, you'll get T-Mobile's myFaves service which lets you call five people and won't count against your minutes. The domestic calls you make to these five people will not count against your minutes.

Calls made in the United States won't incur any roaming charges so that's a good deal there but only if you don't mind having a contract. But contract or not, T-Mobile smart phones are a good buy no matter what model you choose.
