With a considerable success after the introduction of its N-series, like Nokia N90, the Nokia Corporation is quick to introduce its another handset named Nokia N70. The Nokia N70 looks great unlike the monotonous inventions of handsets. It has got a compact body wherein the display and the keypad are perfectly situated. An availabilty of adjustable brightness which is excellent is also provided with N70. The keypad is made better with its backlight. The handset has a Five-way navigational key. Now it will be quite weird to know that some of the features of N70 are similar to that of one of the previous inventions of Nokia i.e Nokia 6680 though these features have been improved upon. The Nokia N70's screen and keypad are well surrounded by a stainless steel bezel and so it adds to its exceedingly classy as well as stylish looks. But the steel bezel will easily reveal the scratches if there are any.

The Nokia N99, is it real. Pictures are floating around the net. Blogs are talking about it, bookmarks are getting interesting reviews. Social networks, are spreading the word. Faster then wild fire, spreads a fire. The speculation is end less. The true question is. Will, this phone be on the market anytime soon? That question, has been on every nokia fans mind. The answer, is still un answered. Though, some high profile blogs have reported, that the phone is still in its building stage.
Considering, the iphone has just been released. Maybe it is a good idea, the Nokia N99 stays put. What the phone offers, is still not yet answered. Though, the pictures floating around. Looks, like Nokia will be having windows mobile OS? If this is true, will this be worth buying? What version of windows will they run? Shifty sources, have claimed. That the phone, might be using a new mobile OS. Vista, which was earlyier released from microsoft. Proclaiming itself, as the next best OS out there. Another great, OS by microsoft themself. Though, vista being on a mobile phone. Will be extremely insane, and radical!
Another odd thing about the Nokia N99, is the keyboard. They seem, to not care about the new futuristic designs. Touch screen, surface touch, or anything related to not clicking. Instead, the phone has a “qwerty” keyboard layout. The general opinon of the mass media, consumer. They seem to be ok with it. As long as the phone carries wifi, email, gps, consumers seem to be satisfied. Speculating, at the other phones in the current market. It might be safe to say, the Nokia N99 will have a camera and mp3 system. So that you may share, send and take pictures. As well as download, your favorite song of the day.

Today in London, Sony Ericsson announced the latest addition to its Cyber-shot family of camera phones, the new K770 Cyber-shot Phone. Like the other Cyber-shot cameraphones, the K770 Cyber-shot Phone makes use of an auto-focus lens system to make sure that photos come out crisp and clean. In fact, the company claims that prints of up to A4 (roughly 8.5? x 11?) in size can be made from the K770’s photos. Considering its auto-focus lens system, the K770 Cyber-shot Phone is still reasonably thin in profile, measuring about 14.5mm (.57?).

One needs to discharge and recharge a new battery at least 2-4 times for it to reach it's maximum rated capacity, as most of these new batteries, are not charged. An overnight charge or 12 hours, is a good enough time for your battery. An indication could be the battery getting warm to the touch. When charging the battery for the first time, the device may indicate that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is normal with
rechargeable batteries. New batteries are hard for the device to charge; they have never been fully charged and not "broken in." Sometimes the device's charger will stop charging a new battery before it is fully charged. If this happens, remove the battery from the device and then reinsert it. The charge cycle should begin again.
Prevent the Memory Effect - Keep the battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries, which do not suffer from the memory effect. Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time.
Always use a battery charger, which is by the same manufacturer as your phone, it gives it more life. It also helps if you overcharge your battery now and then.
Keep the Batteries Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the portable device.
Do not leave your cell phone near any source of heat, a common place being the dashboard of your car, as extreme heat may affect the battery. The battery also operates better at room temperature, vis-à-vis extreme cold.
The vibrator mode of your cell phone consumes more battery, so when not needed, use the ring-tone mode.
Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the battery for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. Batteries tend to de-charge when not in use, so make sure you charge them again before using. The performance of any cell phone battery, however, no matter how properly cared for, usually diminishes after about a year. It is better to get your battery replaced then.
One step further are PDA-enabled phones, more commonly known as smart phones. These have a Digital Organiser, Excel, Word and Internet capabilities- all in one phone. Some even have an integrated camera and a MP3 player. These phones have large screens and allow you to write into it (after you learn the easy technique). They also have voice recognition capabilities. These features make the phone bulkier and costlier but then these gizmos sure do separate the men from the boys.
This is the age of Multimedia Messaging Service. MMS is in; a versatile feature that allows users to send colour pictures, photographs, voice clips, programs, videos and ofcourse text from their cell phones. The rates are a little higher as compared to SMS, but MMS opens up a whole new world of communication at your finger tips. All you need is an MMS-enabled phone and a subscription to a service provider that supports MMS. With MMS, you can, not only send your messages from one phone to another, but also from phone to email, and vice versa.
You can send, store and edit picture messages. There are a number of sites online that let you download pictures free of charge. Some MMS phones even come with an inbuilt camera, so a person can click pictures spontaneously and send them across to another MMS cell phone user. But with phones that do not have an in-built camera, these pictures have to be obtained from the Internet. The messages sent and received are either in text or graphics, once again depending on the phone model. With MMS, you can even download MP3 music, games and video clips on your phone!
As usual, lets get the factual inputs right from the consumer's viewpoint. Speaking of features, one of the most popular is that of a 'Voice Dialer'. A voice recognition system that allows you to dial a telephone number stored in your phone memory by just saying the person's name. You could store telephone numbers and verbally record the names of people you wish to fill up in your phonebook / memory. The most suitable for today's hassle-free world of pace and time, Voice Dialer provides an almost effortless dialing system to its users. Just say the name and abracadabra… your phone is already in the process of connecting you to the dialled call. One such lucky user of this incredible function is Mrs. Seema Lal. " I think it's a real boon. Specially while driving. While dialing the number manually one can get distracted, but this is a real treat. Just call out the caller's name and you are already getting connected." She explains gladly. Long, long ago when communication modes were scarce, imagining such a possibility would be laughed upon. But now it's all there right in front of our eyes. Too good to be true!
Yet another interesting feature is the Enhanced Full Rate Speech (EFR). This feature helps in reducing the background noise that gets transmitted along with your voice while speaking on the phone. Highly advantageous in order to deliver an audible and a clear speech, this feature is just the apt requisite for our ever - so - crowded trains and buses. Mr. Ravi Khanna, a stockbroker is a loyal commuter of our dear old western railways since a long time now. " Traveling from Churchgate to Borivali is my everyday routine and since I'm into shares most of my work is done on my cellular phone. Earlier it used to be impossible, but now due to this special EFR function, conversing on the mobile has turn a lot better. Thankfully, my phone has turned in to a mini mobile office" says a satisfied Mr. Khanna. Whether the never - ending problem of our city's noise pollution is solved, cell phones have indeed come up with a credible solution. This feature is essentially supportive in theatres, crowded streets and huge public places. Technology for thought…sure has done some wonders .
In the last decade the cell phone industry has grown thousand fold all around the world. A cell phone is somewhat necessary for an individual to keep up with the busy life of the current era. A few years back, a cell phone was not considered a necessity; it was just a luxury that was being enjoyed by only a small number of individuals. But nowadays, life without a cell phone seems impossible. People all around the world are addicted to the use of a cell phone. This is mainly because the cell phone is no longer just a cell phone; it has evolved into many things like a personal digital assistant (pda), music player, a global positioning system (gps) and a lot more. Everyday different manufacturers around the world are introducing the models with the new features. This is what needs to be taken into consideration when you go for buying a cell phone. You need to be sure about the features you want that suit your lifestyle well.
The Money Matter
Nowadays there is so much choice for an individual to buy a cell phone. Every company is producing the models with state of the art technology and features everyday. Price is the main thing that makes a difference in these different models. An expensive phone is likely to have more features, reliability and a better technology than a cheap one. Everyone wants a best phone in the market for him but high price of the cell phones comes in the way therefore price is a big thing that needs to be kept in mind while buying a cellular phone. But expensive and sophisticated phones are not everyone’s choice; there are people who just want a simple cell phone which is not much expensive but does its job well only as a cell phone. Also the extra features provided in the expensive phones are not everyone’s need.
Therefore the price is a main thing to keep in mind whenever you to buy a cell phone. Do not buy a cell phone just because it is expensive; buy the one that suits your needs.
With the passage of time, mobile phones have become sophisticated in their looks and versatile in their functions. For instance, the earliest models of mobiles have given way to third-generation mobile phones. And the fact cannot be denied that the latest mobile phone handsets are significantly better than the earlier models in terms of usability, functionality and conformation to established standards of quality.
The latest mobile phones, apart from enabling us to talk with our family and friends, even when we are on the move, incorporate a number of innovative features and functions. Many of these handsets come with integrated mp3 players, digital cameras and FM radios. Some of them are empowered by 3g technology; these handsets can be used to talk face to face with people in real time as well as for accessing information from the Internet.
When the mobile phones came to the market for the first time, they had been marketed as a business tool. But what are they now? They are the major instruments in life in the present scenario.
Buzz up!Cell phones not only keep users "perpetually available", they also help in stress. For instance when you wait for a late morning train, you can be can be revived by making a call to mum or looking for a work contact.
People, who were making heavy use of their mobile phones, did not describe themselves as more rushed than lighter phone users.
Nearly two-thirds of all mobile communications monitored were to family and friends. Work-related calls were confined to standard work hours. Only 0.02 per cent interrupted a leisure activity and prompted actual work. Merely 2.6 per cent of the calls were made between 7pm and midnight.
People, who were making heavy use of their mobile phones, did not describe themselves as more rushed than lighter phone users. Most people still think mobile phones split up and rush our lives, but the reality is that it doesn’t seem to be a perniciously accelerating technology.
More and more people are accessing the Internet by using their cell phones than ever before. In many countries throughout the world the demand for Internet service on a cell phone is rising rapidly every day. Even though notebook computers or laptop computers can easily be connected to the Internet with a data or express card from the service provider, they are bulky and can be awkward to use in some situations. For example you are having dinner in a restaurant before going to the theater, but you forgot to purchase the theater tickets. By using your cell phone to access the web you can have theater tickets waiting for you at the box office by the time you get there. This is just one example of the use of the Internet on your cell phone is better than having to drag your laptop computer with you every where you go.
Since most of the mobile broadband connections are GPS enabled, you will be able to get directions on your phone to an unfamiliar location. Your mobile phone is not just for making phone calls and sending text messages any more. You will be able to check and clear your email inbox, access information, access your schedule and connect directly to your company whenever you need to. Of course, if the company has a large service coverage area you will not be confined to a certain spot. All of this information will be accessible while you are on the go.
The mobile broadband is still a fledging and has plenty of room to grow. Changes in the service and the technology will be happening overnight. The price will come down, the coverage areas will increase and the technology used in accessing the web will change several times. Right now they already have technology, which is being tested and is almost ready for the market. Each service provider uses a different technology to access the web.
According to the makers of Twitter it is a service which allows friends, relatives and coworkers to communicate through short messages which are not more than 140 characters in length. Twitter is a micro blogging service in other words a normal blog has longer posts. But on twitter it is not unusual to see people answering mundane questions about their life such as “what did you have for breakfast”. These micro-blogs are called tweets and everybody from Hollywood stars to singers and everybody else are jumping on to the bandwagon. It is almost as if people are addicted to it. Now many people are astounded by the simplicity of the system and can’t seem to understand why anyone would spend their time reading about what somebody had for breakfast, well but people do. And there in lays your scope for making money through this medium.
The best part of twitter is that your readers will not have to open your message to read it is already opened for them. Let’s take the example of this domain registration site called namecheap.com that ran Christmas contest on Twitter. They were offering a free domain registration to couples who would answer one of the questions correctly as a twitter reply. These questions were sent by the company each hour. Of course they got a lot of people who replied, this meant a huge database of captive customers and they can now market to them over and over again.
So, if you also have a product or service that you sell online you can use twitter to successfully market your product to the thousands of twitter members. There are other ways to make money through twitter as well. But before you start your online money making efforts you will need to gather high quality traffic. To do this, reply to all the messages that you get from members who follow you, try to add as many new members to your group as possible. Make your twitter profile as interesting as you can, for instance add your picture and include the URL to your blog if you have one most people will check out your profile before following you. Add frequent and interesting tweets. Be a friendly with fellow tweeters who follow you, thank people who follow you with a direct message.
Once you have garnered with good number of tweeters who follow you, this database can be successfully used to generate an income. Here are some ideas on how you can do this. Since most people who follow you will read your messages this can serve as ca potent forum for advertising. All you have to do is include the advertisement in about 5 - 6 words at the end of your tweet. Many advertisers would be willing to pay you for your efforts. Particularly tweeters who have a large base of followers often receive such offers. You could make every 10th or 20th tweet into an advertisement. You need to be careful to not overdo it here. So you can include pieces of interesting information in 9 tweets while the tenth can be an advertisement for Coke.
Choosing adult content that women will like requires common sense and a bit of knowledge about the female psychology. There is a big difference in how men and women surf the Internet.
Men think of one thing and go for it. They are looking for specific tasks like porn, news, weather forecast, stocks quotes or sports. When they find what they want, they simply log off. On the other hand, women think about several tasks. They can look for a new book, shop on eBay, communicate with friends - and they do it all in one session!
So when building a porn site for women you need more than just a few photo sets and dirty comments – women prefer browsing through a portal with a lot of sections. There should be links to adult personals, how-to guides and articles, photos and videos, sex toy shops, blogs, or model profiles. Give the ladies a choice and they will choose you!
If you want to find a sexual partner, what will you do? A lot of people consider a bar or club as the starting point for their adult dating endeavors. However, it’s not guaranteed that you will meet like-minded singles (or couples) every time you go there.
It may take several weeks of patronizing bars and clubs before you meet someone who is interested in you. You will have to spend plenty of money on beverages and food. And, you can’t just ask “What about anal sex?” It will take some time to find out about her/his sexual preferences and decide if you are a good match.
That’s why sex-oriented dating sites have become so popular. Last year their growth rate was about 70%! You can instantly see all sexual preferences and desires. You can meet as many girls as you want per night. You can chat from the comfort of your home or office. Some adult dating websites even have live webcams where users can meet online before (or instead of) meeting in person.
Typically, adult dating sites offer free and paid membership. Free membership allows you to create your profile, post a photo and perform basic searches (upon such parameters as gender, Zip code and age). Subscribed membership provides users with a larger number of options. You can view full profiles, initiate contact, use chat rooms, post messages, etc.

As mobile phones have been evolving to become more and more like computers when it comes to useful features and functions available with PCs at the same time they incurred the same problems we have when using our desktops and laptops. Smartphones with the options and operating systems much like computers have are also vulnerable to malicious applications and virus attacks which often results either in device damage or identity theft. Besides, such malware attacks also allow violators to fully control mobile devices and perform actions they initiate. Here we will discuss how we can get a virus on our mobile phone through a Bluetooth device, what implications of such attacks can be and how we can protect against them.
As reported by many media sources first virus that could spread via Bluetooth was created back in 2004. It was the benign worm called Cabir and was written by 29a, a group of virus writers which specializes in proof-of-concept viruses - they made the first viruses for .NET and for Win64.
Cabir was transmitted via Bluetooth, from the infected phone to the first it finds within range. It transmitted itself as an SIS (Symbian OS distribution) file that masqueraded as a Caribe Security Manager utility. If the worm was executed, the handset would display the inscription Caribe and would activate each time the phone was started. No other damage was caused by the virus.
The growing world of mobile phones has brought many opportunities for the common human beings. Today, one can easily find a variety of handsets and start enjoying the features available in them.

PAYG phones give the liberty of choosing any handset and enjoy the free gifts given with them. All the renowned mobiles makers have come up with PAYG phones and therefore the users can easily get the latest devices which have been recently launched in the markets.Contract phone deals with 12 months free line rental are also beneficial to the users as they provide them various attractive gift items with the handsets. One has to go through a contract which is made between him or her and the company that provides network services. This contract can be made up for six months, twelve months and eighteen months depending on the needs of the user. The contract deals do not only give the opportunity to own the high-end handsets but also to enjoy many free gifts and discounts.Pay as you go phones are popular especially among the teenagers, college going students and those who talk for limited time on their phones.

Mobile phones have the ability to store a lot of useful information available at your fingertips, which is a blessing in today’s fast-paced world. Like any device that stores information, you will want to back up your mobile phone in case it ever gets lost or broken. Read on to learn how to sync a mobile phone with your computer.
Mobile phone usage for the traveler can sometimes be a bewildering affair. This is due to the preponderance of various differing -- and incompatible -- mobile systems, often delineating entire continents or regions. The main systems in use are outlined below. The purpose of this discussion is not to delve much into the technical aspects of each system -- that sort of thing can easily be found elsewhere on the web. Rather, here we'll focus more on where these systems are used and factors important to travelers.
Along with the obvious convenience and quick access to help in emergencies big and small, mobile phones can be both economical and essential for travelers trying to stay connected. An example: it's not uncommon for mobile calls to be cheaper than local calls made from some hotel rooms. European hotels in particular are known for excessive phone tariffs -- three days of connecting locally at a five-star hotel in Amsterdam once cost me more than $100! However, Europeans have no lock on this practice -- at a hotel in Quito, Ecuador local calls cost USD$.50 a minute! In contrast, many mobile providers offer exceptional plans that include generous amounts of air time, no long distance charges, and in some cases very reasonable international roaming rates.
In other situations, a mobile phone may simply be the only way to get online. This was the case when I stayed at a lovely historic hotel in Krakow's old town -- unfortunately, the ancient phone lines were too noisy to allow a modem connection at any speed. However, thanks to a GSM phone and modem, I could connect with ease.
The advantages of buying mobile phone online include:
• Consumers get an opportunity to compare and contrast the prices of one handset with other handsets of another brand. Sometimes an individual likes to purchase Nokia cell phone because of its higher durability factor and on the other hand some may go for Sony Ericsson due to it powerful speaker quality.
• The detailed description about each of the handset on offer enable consumers to judge themselves which brand or handset to take and which one to ignore.
• Online websites also offers best mobile phone deals including contract mobile phone and payg mobile phone.
• These online websites have tie-ups with world's leading service providers and offer deals like T mobile phone, 3 mobile phone, O2 mobile phone and many more.
• Besides this, such websites also offer new and old mobile phones along with images of each handset.
All these benefits attached to online mobile shops attract millions of people to buy. However one should be careful while buying mobile phones online. The main negative part of online buying is fakeness. Many fake mobile shops promises to offer you best mobile phone deals but often deceive the consumers. Such website's main aim is to make profit by triggering consumers to go buying from their shop. Consumers easily get fooled by their false statements and get engulfed in their trap.
So always look out for credible and reliable online mobile shop dealer like "buy-phones" in the UK which offers comprehensive range of handsets and attractive cell phone deals.
Charge your battery. The first thing you need to do with your Sidekick when you take it out of the box is plug it in and leave it alone for about four hours. It's tough, because you want to start exploring all the features, but a good initial charge will help you get more out of your phone.

There is also a temperature indicator that will appear above the battery if you phone is too hot or cold. Next to the battery icon is a signal indicator that will let you know how strong your current cellular reception is.
Make some calls. The Sidekick is so much more than just a cell phone, but you will probably still want to make the occasional call. There are two ways you can dial.

The innovation and growth on the mobile phones front is astonishing. The top-end phones available now have the processing power and storage available in desktop computers just 4-5 years ago. Little wonder, then, that 2004 saw 674 million phones being bought, and estimates for 2005 stand at 730 million.
The mobile phone is rapidly becoming the uber device -- the one device that seems to have it all and becomes even more indispensable than it is now. Mobile phones have already started functioning as more than just communications devices. Mobiles serve as watches and alarm clocks. Even with the limited free games that come with basic phones, they are already good for "time-pass". They can also function as calculators.
In unfamiliar neighbourhoods, they tell us where we are. The address book and contacts list on phones is our social interface. Without the phone, many of us would be quite lost in connecting with other people. The calendar function on the mobile phones can help us track our lives. Phones can also function as radios. For some, the mobile phone also becomes a notepad -- send an SMS to oneself and make it a reminder service. Owners also have tended to customise phones, with their own ringtones, themes and wallpapers.
This is just for starters. Consider what some of the more advanced mobile phones are also doing:
A Mobile Telephone is defined as a 'portable electronic device for the purpose of telecommunications over long distances'. Which boils down to 'a telephone you can roam freely with'. Most current mobile phones actaully connect to a cellular networi of base stations (the cell sites themselves) which overlap to yield coverage and which also link to the standard landline public switched telephone network. It should be noted that mobile phones are distinct from household cordless telephones which generally operate only within range of a dedicated base station (though the distinction is blurring with mobile phones that can link via bluetooth to a home internet base station).
It should be noted, however, that the term mobile phone can refer to any type of mobile telephony device and also includes satellite phones and radio phones. In contrast cell(ular) phones refers only to those mobile phones that function via cellular base stations. Despite these distinctions, in common parlance the terms are used almost interchangeably.
t is generally accepted that the first truly portable 'modern' mobile phone was invented by Martin Cooper of Motorola Corp in 1973 and he made the first call on this handheld device on April 3rd and thus changed our world forever. However, it wasn't for a further eight years that NMT (Nordisk MobilTelefoni or Nordiska MobilTelefoni-gruppen, Nordic Mobile Telephone in English) introduced the first fully-automatic cellular telephone system.
Most current mobile phones work on what's termed 2.5G (sedcond and a halfth generation) which includes technologeis such as packet-switched connection and enhanced data rates and these networks support WAP, MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), SMS mobile games, and search and directory but they exclude EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment) and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) technologies. The reality is that most non-3G telephones sold today adhere to 2.5G standards and technologies rather than 2G and texting services such as SMS, MMS and picture messaging have become standard features of mobile telephones.
Though electronically complex, how a mobile phone works can be defined in fairly simple terms: In effect, the phone is simply a means of converting the owner’s voice into a digital signal that can be transmitted via the phone’s antenna to a receiving station. At the same time the telephone receives an incoming signal from the receiving station via its antenna which the phone converts into the voice of the person on the other end of the call.
Most phones today have a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card that is a specialized form of flash memory. This card stores information such as address books, contacts, calendars. But it also holds other very important data that the user cannot normally access. Indeed, the first time a new mobile phone is used (actually, to be precise, the first time a new SIM card is used in a phone) a number held on the SIM card called the International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI) number is transmitted to the network. The network then looks this number up in a database to ensure the SIM card is registered there. If this is the case then a number called the Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI) is encrypted and sent back to the phone where it is stored in the SIM card. In all subsequent calls the phone uses this TMSI number to identify itself by broadcasting the number to the network.
Each time a call is made the TMSI is transmitted to the network. The transmission of this number is followed by a complex series of events — each designed to verify that the phone and the phone’s owner are who they actually claim to be. Once this is verified a mobile telephone call can be made. The usual thing to do at this point is to dial a call using the telephone’s keypad. This is modelled on the numeric keypad of landline telephones for the sake of familiarity. Though, as phones are increasingly used for data and message transmission the keypads can access a wide range of characters and some phones now come with full computer keypads. There is also a move away from the traditional numeric keypad, such as in Apple’s iPhone which uses a touch sensitive bezel that is similar to the one found on Apple’s iPod range of music players.
In terms of being able to make and receive mobile telephone calls then the control channel of the mobile telephone network is all important as it's this that infroms the network where your phone is so that you can connect to the appropriate cell. This is a signal broadcast by mobile telephone transmitter towers and it's this which tells the system which cell you are in, so that this information can be stored in the system's database. It is entirely because of this that an incoming call can be routed to your phone.
The mobile phone can be used to communicate over long distances without wires. It works by communicating with a nearby base station (sometimes called a "cell") which connects it to the main phone network. As the mobile phone moves around, if the mobile phone gets too far away from the cell it is connected to, that cell sends a message to another cell to tell the new cell to take over the call. This is called a "hand off," and the call continues with the new cell the phone is connected to. The hand-off is done so well and carefully that the user will usually never even know that the call was transferred to another cell.
Before cell phones became almost universal, the only way you could contact people when you were in public was either to use a Pay Phone, or a very expensive mobile telephone (price equivalent in the 1950s to about US$1000 to US $3000, today), and the rates then were as high as $1 a minute. They also needed so much power that you had to have them in an automobile to use them. A mobile telephone used a single frequency and did not share it. Thus for a given region - say New York City - there might only be the capacity for 30 or 40 simultaneous conversations in the entire city.
Later someone got the idea for radio telephones to have the base station that talks to all of the phones use less power, thus more base stations could be used, allowing more phones in an area. Also, for cellular phones, a lot more frequencies became available, plus phones could change what frequency they used when they were operating (which means you weren't tied to your local telephone company's network), and the capacity to make a base station's power reduced so that more base stations could be added in crowded areas, meant that the network could handle more simultaneous users. A lot more. Current Cell networks are designed with 666 channels broken into six "cells" so that in any specific cell, only 111 of these channels are used. As a phone moves, the base station tells it which of the six cell groups it will move to and which of the 111 channels in that cell to use. Think of a honeycomb, where each cell faces six others, and thus the cell concept can provide much more service than the old mobile telephone system.
Since a cell phone essentially allows the person to be anywhere, and to move around while calling, they became extremely popular for business people. The high amount of usage caused prices to drop, thus making them affordable for almost anyone. Monthly plans giving boatloads of minutes are available for rates as low as US$30 or $40 a month. Prepaid service has dropped the price to have a cell phone to less than $100 a year, with as much as a couple hours of use a year included in the price. In Israel, the price of service is so low - circa 2c a minute or less - that soldiers in the military - which is almost everyone due to universal conscription - have been told to leave their cell phones home, lest enemies use the phones to target them.
The basic concept of cellular phones began in 1947 when researchers looked at crude mobile (car) phones and realized that by using small cells (range of service area) with frequency reuse could increase the traffic capacity of mobile phones substantially, however, the technology to do it was nonexistent.
Anything to do with broadcasting and sending a radio or television message out over the airwaves comes under a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulation that a cellular phone is actually a type of two-way radio. In 1947, AT&T proposed that the FCC allocate a large number of radio spectrum frequencies so that wide-spread mobile phone service could become feasible and AT&T would have a incentive to research the new technology. We can partially blame the FCC for the gap between the concept of cellular phone service and it's availability to the public. Because of the FCC decision to limit the cellular phone frequencies in 1947, only twenty three cellular phone conversations could occur simultaneously in the same service area - not a market incentive for research.
The FCC reconsidered it's position in 1968, and stated "if the technology to build a better mobile phone service works, we will increase the cellular phone frequencies allocation, freeing the airwaves for more mobile phones." AT&T - Bell Labs proposed a cellular phone system to the FCC of many small, low-powered broadcast towers, each covering a 'cell' a few miles in radius, collectively covering a larger area. Each tower would use only a few of the total frequencies allocated to the cellular phone system, and as cars moved across the area their cellular phone calls would be passed from tower to tower.
In the very beginning, two-way radios (known as mobile rigs) were used in vehicles such as taxicabs, police cruisers, ambulances, and the like, but were not mobile phones because they were not normally connected to the telephone network. Users could not dial phone numbers from their vehicles. A large community of mobile radio users, known as the mobileer, popularized the technology that would eventually give way to the mobile phone. Originally, mobile phones were permanently installed in vehicles, but later versions such as the so-called transportables or "bag phones" were equipped with a cigarette lighter plug so that they could also be carried, and thus could be used as either mobile or as portabletwo-way radios. During the early 1940s, Motorola developed a backpacked two-way radio, -Talkie and later developed a large hand-held two-way radio for the US military. This battery powered "Handie-Talkie" (HT) was about the size of a man's forearm.
In Europe, radio telephony was first used on the first-class passenger trains between Berlin and Hamburg in 1926. At the same time, radio telephony was introduced on passenger airplanes for air traffic security. Later radio telephony was introduced on a large scale in German tanks during the Second World War. After the war German police in the British zone of occupation first used disused tank telephony equipment to run the first radio patrol cars.[citatio needed] In all of these cases the service was confined to specialists that were trained to use the equipment. In the early 1950s ships on the Rhine were among the first to use radio telephony with an untrained end customer as a user.
