TryPhone.com
 WHAT IS IT? Finding the right mobile phone just got a lot easier. TryPhone gives you the ability to try before you buy. Their interactive online virtual handsets let you test drive mobile devices, applications, content and services. The site is a boon for those trying to evade sales talk.
THE GOOD: The site provides onscreen simulations of handsets;
it is a perfect solution to avoid pressure. You can take your own time to review each phone and their distinct features. The concept is very simple — users can use a virtual phone to know what the interface feels like.
THE BAD: Not all functions can be tried out and the site tends to slow down. Although customisation options are available, they do not take effect on the phone demo. It is doubtful if TryPhone can simulate more complex interaction methods in the future.
VERDICT: A great idea, but a limited selection.
