Mobile Phones and Smart Phones

This is my learning journal for unit 1. I am an owner of a smart phone “Blackberry”.
A mobile phone is more frequently called a cellular phone or cellphone. These communication devices connect to a wireless communications network through radio waves or satellite transmissions. Most mobile phones provide voice communications, Short Message Service, Multimedia Message Service, and newer phones may also provide Internet services such as Web browsing, instant messaging capabilities and e-mail.

 A smartphone is considered to be the combination of the traditional PDA and cellular phone, with a bigger focus on the cellular phone part. These handheld devices integrate mobile phone capabilities with the more common features of a handheld computer or PDA. Smartphones allow users to store information, e-mail, install programs, along with using a mobile phone in one device. A smartphone's feature is usually more oriented towards mobile phone options than the PDA-like features. There is no industry standard for what defines a smartphone, so any mobile device that has more than basic cellphone capabilities can actually be filed under the smartphone category of devices.

I use my phone for phoning people, texting, music, internet, camera, time & date, games and calculator. I think life would be very difficult without phones because it would be very hard to keep in contact with others. I hope to learn more about phones that I don’t really know. J
