The most important influencing factor is: whether the software is of sufficient quality that I am actually going to use it past the first couple of days.

I believe it has to be ease of use. If I can't try it before I buy it, then I usually don't consider it.

it's connection capabilities :

- wifi, hsdpa, hsupa, umts, gsm, edge, bluetooth and how they can be consistently used
(ie enough CPU power to be able to feel the difference between an HSDPA connection and a gprs edge connection).

the choice for me is between pocket pc s that have a physical keyboard

The single most important factor for me when decided to purchase software is usability. Will I get my money's worth with the application and will it integrate itself into my life to the point that I cannot imagine it being absent.

In my case - it's a two part answer (as mentioned by others here):

1) Is there a useable demo of the application for me to try out to see if I like the software?

2) The VALUE of the software has to be sufficient for me to buy it - meaning, are all of the features/abilities of the software personally worth what I would have to spend to get it?

If the answer to both questions is "YES" - then it's mine! :wink:

The value!

I've never bought an non-educational application in my life. I never thought there was a need to buy it since there is usually an free alternative. The great part about this giveaway is that it can do AIM. Which I can't find a free alternative for.

Single most important factor:

Actually, I'd have to combine two into one - it has to be an extremely useful piece of software for me that has been well programmed (in other words, it has to pass my tests during trials, sort of like a beta, without crashing almost at all or preferably never), and the price has to mirror just how much it does with the effort that was put into it. All of this for me means "quality" as a factor.
