Speaking: Choosing the right cell phone

Touch screen, smart cell phones are becoming more popular these days. Some of the most sophisticated ones are: Nokia N97, Iphone 3GS and Samsung Omnia i900.

Adam Thomas is one of those possible buyers. He works for a big international company and must travel constantly. Adam is an important employee, and the company is studying what of the 3 cell phones will satisfy Adam's necessities better. Your task will be to analyze the specifications of each of the 3 cell phones and make a decision as to which one the company should purchase.

Pay attention to the user characteristics (Adam's job and personal life) that are listed below:

1) Adam travels every week, Monday through Friday. He very rarely spends one day at home during the weekdays. He is always on the move. He needs to take planes, taxis, trains, etc.

2) He needs to be in constant contact with his company, his employees and his clients. Many times, he travels far away, so he needs to keep in touch even in the middle of the night, because of the different time zones.

3) He needs to be in contact with his family too. He has 2 little children: a daughter and a baby boy. He wants to talk to them, too.

4) During the weekend, Adam comes back home. He enjoys spending time with his family and he loves outdoor activities: trekking, mushroom hunting, water skiing. He always practices activities where his family can participate too.

STEPS:

1) Visit the 3 web pages and write down a summary of the specifications for each cell phone

2) Describe which of these specifications better suit Adam's needs
