The world of mobile phones is as diverse as it is vast. From the simple to the sublime, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The choices are seemingly limitless, however with a bit of mobile phone savvy and few minutes on the internet doing ones homework, an intelligent selection can be made to suit the needs of every consumer.
The basics cover just that, the basics. These phones hold programmed telephone numbers, identify callers, and perform the function of making and receiving calls. From there, it gets really fun!
Many of the high-end phones do basically the same things: Ring-tones, caller ID, voice dialing, GPS positioning, Bluetooth compatibility, 3.2 megapixel or better camera, mp3 player, web-browser, more memory than the computer that put the first man on the moon.
If you’re looking for a ‘good phone’, these are a must. And here’s where the competition gets interesting. At this point all the mobile makers begin trying to outdo each other. The Samsung Omnia has some impressive features such as panoramic photo capabilities, video calling and WiFi. The coolest feature: it will scan a business card and place it into contacts, then send it back to the home computer! It also boasts the Microsoft operating system. The iPhone has endless applications; very handy if you need to straighten a shelf in the middle of the day. If a music phone is what you seek, the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music deserves a look. At only £199.95, its price is as impressive as its features.
These high-enders are aptly named smartphones. And although during the initial days of ownership it’s easy to believe they are actually smarter than you and trying to take over the world, they are marvelous pieces of equipment, truly meant to make your life easier. Equipped as PDA’s, mp3 players, mobile computers, GPS systems, party planners, alarm clocks, am/fm radios, cameras, video cameras, text messengers, address books, and more, long gone are the days these devices are simply our mobile phones.
