inside a mobile phone

There are several categories of mobile phones, from basic phones to feature phones such as musicphones and cameraphones, to smartphones. The first smartphone was the Nokia 9000 Communicator in 1996 which incorporated PDA functionality to the basic mobile phone at the time. As miniaturisation and increased processing power of microchips has enabled ever more features to be added to phones, the concept of the smartphone has evolved, and what was a high-end smartphone five years ago, is a standard phone today. Several phone series have been introduced to address a given market segment, such as the RIM BlackBerry focusing on enterprise/corporate customer email needs; the SonyEricsson Walkman series of musicphones and Cybershot series of cameraphones; the Nokia N-Series of multimedia phones; and the Apple iPhone which provides full-featured web access and multimedia capabilities.

Cell Phone Features

Most carriers give you the same basic features, such as. Voice mail, caller id, call waiting/holding, and call forwarding. some also have other added features like your first incoming minute free. the main thing is too see what fits into your life style best and also too be sure when and if the features expire.

Feautures to consider when selecting a cell phone

  • Size
  • Looks
  • Ergonomics
  • Robustness
  • Screen size
  • Mode
  • Battery type
  • Display
  • Included functions
  • Special features
  • Price

Mode
Are you looking for analog or digital? Do you prefer PCS or cellular? TDMA or CDMA? If you have read How Cell Phones Work, then you know what each of these terms means. Look for dual mode/dual band phones if you travel a lot.

Battery type
Cell phones use two main battery technologies:

  • NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) - high capacity battery that provides extra power for extended use
  • Li-ion (lithium ion) - has a lot of power in a lightweight package but usually costs more than NiMH batteries

Look for fast recharging, long lasting batteries

Note both the talk time and standby time when comparing phones. Also, check to see how long the battery takes to recharge and whether a rapid charger is available. Most cell-phone batteries are removable, but some of the smaller models have a built-in battery instead.


Display
All cell phones have LCD displays, but the specific features of the display can vary:

  • Size - A large, multi-line display is typically more expensive, but it's necessary if you plan to use the phone for wireless Internet.
  • Color vs. monochrome - Most cell phones have monochrome displays (16 grays), but a there are a growing number that have color. Cell phones with color screens need more memory and tend to be more expensive.
  • Reflective or backlit - Almost all cell phones have backlit screens, which are good for low-light conditions.

A large multi-line display is typically more expensive but necessary if you plan to use the phone for wireless internet.

Included Functions
Most phone include basic functions such as phone directory, clock, calculator, automatic redial, last number recall and the ability to customize the ring tone of incoming calls. Most premium phones offer all of these features:

  • Phone directory
  • Clock
  • Calculator
  • Games
  • Personalized/custom sounds
  • Appointment reminder/calendar
  • Incoming-number storage
  • Automatic redial
  • Last-number recall
  • Mute/hold button
  • One-touch dialing/speed dialing
  • Voice-activated functions
  • Vibrate mode
  • Lock/alarm
  • Call forwarding
  • Multi-party calls
  • Hands-free headset/speakerphone
  • External volume/ringer control
  • Rapid charger/built-in charger
  • Car adapter

Special Features
Additional features such as teh ones listed here can greatly affect the price of a phone. Make sure that youare not paying a premium for features that you never intend to use. Some cell phones have special features such as:

  • Text messaging
  • Wireless Internet
  • Modem function
  • PC synchronization
  • PDA
  • MP3 player
  • GPS receiver

When looking at phones with a headset or speakerphone connection, check to see if the plug is proprietary. If it is, then check the cost and availability of the headset or speakerphone. Also, all phones come with a charger, but not all of them come with a rapid charger.

Size
Think about how you plan to use the phone. Will it mostly be a car phone? Or do you plan to carry it in a pocket all day long? This will help you determine if that cheaper phone with the same features that weighs 10 ounces is a better deal than the one that only weighs 5 ounces but costs twenty percent more.

Price
If you are like most of us, price is always a consideration. Weigh the options carefully and make sure that you don't pay for features that you probably will never use. If you are not interested in wireless Internet, then you may not want to pay the extra bucks for a WAP-enabled phone.

Applications




Mobile phone subscribers per 100 inhabitants 1997-2007

The most commonly used data application on mobile phones is SMS text messaging, with 74% of all mobile phone users as active users (over 2.4 billion out of 3.3 billion total subscribers at the end of 2007). SMS text messaging was worth over 100 billion dollars in annual revenues in 2007 and the worldwide average of messaging use is 2.6 SMS sent per day per person across the whole mobile phone subscriber base. (source Informa 2007). The first SMS text message was sent from a computer to a mobile phone in 1992 in the UK, while the first person-to-person SMS from phone to phone was sent in Finland in 1993.

Mobile Applications are developed using the Six M's (previously Five M's) service-development theory created by the author Tomi Ahonen with Joe Barrett of Nokia and Paul Golding of Motorola. The Six M's are Movement (location), Moment (time), Me (personalization), Multi-user (community), Money (payments) and Machines (automation). The Six M's / Five M's theory is widely referenced in the telecoms applications literature and used by most major industry players. The first book to discuss the theory was Services for UMTS by Ahonen & Barrett in 2002.

SIM Card

File:Typical cellphone SIM cards.jpg

A SIM card or Subscriber Identity Module is a portable memory chip used in some models of cellular telephones. The SIM card makes it easy to switch to a new phone by simply sliding the SIM out of the old phone and into the new one. The SIM holds personal identity information, cell phone number, phone book, text messages and other data. It can be thought of as a mini hard disk that automatically activates the phone into which it is inserted.

A SIM card can come in very handy. For example, let's say your phone runs out of battery power at a friend's house. Assuming you both have SIM-based phones, you can remove the SIM card from your phone and slide it into your friend's phone to make your call. Your carrier processes the call as if it were made from your phone, so it won't count against your friend's minutes.

If you upgrade your phone there's no hassle involved. The SIM card is all you need. Just slide it into the new phone and you're good to go. You can even keep multiple phones for different purposes. An inexpensive phone in the glove compartment, for example, for emergency use, one phone for work and another for home. Just slide your SIM card into whatever phone you wish to use.

IPhone

Apple could do a lot more with all the sensors in the iPhone

Apple is known for its innovative gadget design, and with the release of the iPhone, it continues to live up to its hype. But while people are fawning over features like the smart, multitouch screen and the advanced Web browser, there is important technology under the hood that will likely go underappreciated. The iPhone has tiny, powerful sensors--an accelerometer, an ambient light sensor, and an infrared sensor--that are able to pick up cues from the environment and adjust the phone's functions accordingly. Apple has decided to use these sensors for detecting when to convert the screen view from portrait to landscape, for adjusting the brightness of the screen based on the brightness of the environment, and for disabling the touch screen when a person holds the phone to her ear.

Extrasensory phone: Apple’s iPhone comes with sensors that can detect changes in the phone’s position and environment. Researchers at other companies have been developing mobile-phone applications that can employ data collected by these sorts of sensors to infer a user’s behavior.
Credit: Apple

Of course, Apple isn't the first to put sensors such as accelerometers in phones. Nokia, for example, has a sports phone (called the 5500) that uses an accelerometer as a pedometer. When a person takes the phone jogging, the accelerometer logs the rate of vibrations and sends that data to software that determines speed and distance. The 5500 also offers an accelerometer-based game in which a user tilts the device to navigate a ball through a maze. In addition, Nokia offers a developers' kit so that people can make their own accelerometer-based games, potentially mimicking the style of those played with Nintendo's popular Wii controller. (See "Hack: The Nintendo Wii.")

These functions, while useful and entertaining, are still pretty mundane, says Nathan Eagle, a research scientist at MIT. "These are trivial uses for what has the potential to provide a whole slew of new features and functionality," he says. Separate research taking place at MIT, Intel, and other companies suggests that, with the right software, built-in hardware such as accelerometers, light sensors, a GPS, and the phone's own microphone could provide contextual clues about people's activities and behaviors. A sensor-enabled phone could feasibly help monitor your exercise habits, keep track of an elderly relative's activities, and let your friends and family know if you're available for a call or instant-messaging conversation. It could even provide insight into social networks.

IPhone Vs N97

Now that iPhone has a potential competitor in town, its hard to say which one of the two will survive in the consumer market.

The new Nokia N97 seems to be a promising smartphone not only in terms of its features and functionality but also in terms of its stylish form factor, color and design.

If the slide-out QWERTY keyboard is not enough to beat the on-screen keyboard in the iPhone, I must mention that the N97 has a 5MP camera (with flash) and a video-recording option too. For more of the comparison between N97 and iPhone, take a look at the table below.


Nokia N97 Apple iPhone

Operating System Symbian S60 5th edition iPhone OS
Locked? No Yes
SMS forwarding Yes No
MMS Yes No
Colors White and Dark Gray Black and White
Input Slide-out Keyboard On-screen Keyboard
File transfer Yes No
Camera 5MP with flash 2MP without flash
Video Recording Yes, DVD quality No
WiFi and GPS Yes, with electronic compass Yes
Removable Battery? Yes No
Memory 32GB with microSD 8GB or 16GB only
Price $600 $700 (unlocked)

The comparison table pretty much sums it all.


Samsung Omnia Vs iPhone 3G








The Samung i900 Omnia is a valiant attempt at a touchscreen phone. Take a look at the adverts for the handset -- it's all about the touch. How does it stack up against the iPhone 3G? Read on to find out.

Look & Feel

The dimensions of Samsung's i900 Omnia are very similar to that of the iPhone 3G -- 112 x 56.9 x 12.5mm versus 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3mm -- and is slightly lighter at 125g versus 133g.

With most of the front of the handset given over to the touchscreen, it looks fairly similar to the iPhone, too. There's a passing resemblance to the LG-KC910, too.

Screen

Just a third of an inch separates the screen sizes, with the Omnia's 3.2-inch display being the smaller.

Samsung states the screen resolution as WQVGA, which could be 480×272 but is a rather vague description. At that resolution, it doesn't beat the 480x320 of the iPhone. C'mon Samsung, give us the pixel count.

samsung_omnia_camera.png

Camera

It's not difficult to trump the iPhone's camera, and the Omnia does so with a five megapixel camera boasting 4x digital zoom, auto focus, LED flash, various shot modes, photo effects and quality settings.

The iPhone 3G, by comparison, is still stuck with a bog standard two megapixel camera without any fancy features.

Multimedia

The Omnia can play back most music formats including MP3, AAC, WMA and MIDI, can play MPEG4, WMV, DivX, and other format videos, and record video in the MPEG4 format.

The iPhone handles just MP3 and AAC formats, and can play back MPEG4 video. It won't shoot video out of the box.

The Samsung Omnia boasts "3D sound technology", whatever that is. The iPhone does what a Video iPod does.

Navigation

The Omnia features A-GPS which can be used for navigation. The iPhone also has A-GPS which links in with Google Maps.

As the software currently stands, the Omnia may be more usable as a dedicated sat-nav system, whereas the iPhone can't offer automated turn-by-turn directions at present.

Communications

Both phones are 3G-enabled, able to run on the fastest HSDPA networks where available.

Both feature Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Operating System

The Samsung Omnia uses Windows Mobile Professional 6.1. There's no mention of additional software on top of that.

The iPhone 3G uses a version of OS X.

Storage

Both the Omnia and the iPhone 3G come with either 8GB or 16GB of user memory, but the Omnia has the advantage of microSD expansion.

Applications

The Omnia will have access to third-party applications developed for the Windows Mobile operating system, generally without restriction.

The iPhone 3G officially has access to Apple-approved applications from the iTunes App Store. Additional apps can be added to individual iPhones on an ad-hoc basis, and of course the handset can be jailbroken.

Pricing & Networks

In the UK, the Samsung Omnia is currently available on contract on O2, Orange, Vodafone, generally on 12 or 18 month contracts, with prices varying according to contract.

The iPhone 3G is only available from O2, either pay-as-you go for £349 (8GB) or £399 (16GB), or at a range of price points when taken with a contract.

iPhone Vs Blackberry



With the launch of Apple iPhone, RIM has faced challenge like never before to keep up their sales of Blackberry phones like many other mobile phone manufacturers. Everyone will agree with me that iPhone is a revolutionary product that changed the way people used to think and act with their mobile phones. But Blackberry was always there to suit the needs of the corporate people. What makes these full featured phones so different? Let us discover 10 differences between these two blockbuster mobile phones.

1. Design

The iPhone design has made a revolution in Cellphone world. Keeping in mind that the recent Blackberries look smarter than before, they are just a good looker but not gorgeous like the iPhone. If the design were a fad then there wouldn’t be hundreds of iPhone Clone available in the market. The clones are selling only because it has the iPhone look.

2. E-Mail

The E-Mail service of Blackberry is simply the best. A Blackberry set up with Microsoft Exchange server has intelligent push email service that downloads the message immediately on the phone and an LED indicates that a new message has been received. The iPhone recognizes new messages in 15 minutes and needs to be checked actively by the user.

3. Application

Any discussion of iPhone is incomplete without a mention of iPhone Apps. The developers of the applications for Blackberry use outdated tools that don’t give them enough access to the core APIs on Blackberry handsets. On the other hand iPhone is the easiest device to develop applications for. This is why there are thousands of developers developing millions of apps for the iPhone.

4. Surfing the Internet

The Blackberry browser is only a primitive one compared to the stunning safari browser of the iPhone. But the iPhone browser seems to load the pages more slowly than Blackberry over the EDGE network.

5. Keyboard

Every Blackberry except Storm boasts a full QWERTY keyboard. It is excellent for fast and accurate typing. It is true that the virtual keyboard in iPhone comes nowhere near the typing satisfaction by hardware keyboard and it takes time to master typing ability in a virtual keyboard. But there are a plenty of people who are fans of QWERTY keyboard only that takes up the whole bottom part of the front face of their cell phone and for them iPhone is really a bliss.

6. Camera

Most of the Blackberries have better camera than the iPhone. For example The Blackberry Storm has a 3.2 MP camera with image stabilization, auto-focus, white balance, variable zoom and flash. The 2.0 MP camera of iPhone is still not upto the mark to be fair. With storm you can also capture videos.

7. Battery

The iPhone battery runs out faster than Blackberry which makes it less reliable for corporate use. Although one reason for this may be due to the fact that iPhone is used for more tasks. But still I feel that iPhone has a poor battery.

8. Phone Call Quality

Blackberry has good RF reception ability. They get signal in many areas where many other phone don’t. The iPhone on the other hand has similar kind of reception quality too. So not much to distinguish between the two.

9. Multimedia

The iPhone is a great multimedia entertainer. It has good music and video players that is far ahead of any other device. The only place where Blackberry is superior than iPhone in multimedia section is the camera quality. But anyway, for multimedia, Apple iPhone -hands down.

10. Usability

At first, the iPhone may seem to be bit awkward with its full touchscreen design but you can use your intuition to get things done. On the other hand everyday Blackberry users can do the tasks faster with their shortcut keys. But Apple iPhone is just too ahead when its about learning from the scratch. Its very simple, easy to understand and still stylish.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, I have to say that the iPhone may be a very good, attractive and revolutionary phone but it still lacks the features that are vital ones for corporate people. But for ordinary people like many of us, the iPhone is the best. They both have their own sets of target and that is why, no matter what Apple iPhone and Blackberry battle will be on for some time to come.
