How do you know which Android phone to choose?

Before we can talk about our Androids, we need to own one... a shiny new Android smartphone. As with buying a new laptop (which I recently did... an Acer Aspire AS5750Z-4835 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) ... but purple, of course), narrowing down smartphone choices is a headache. 

As long as your phone runs on the Android operating system, you'll probably be happy with it for a while. But after the honeymoon period, you'll realize some features aren't quite good enough, and other features haven't been touched. Instead of dealing with that frustration, let's figure out which phone suits you from the get-go.

My upcoming "buying guide" series is a review of a handful of issues (including "if you this.... then look for that" suggestions), culminating in phone purchase suggestions. We'll talk about:

• Storage
• Camera
• Size
