Mobile Cell Phone

With as many as 10,000 mobile phones stolen every month it's becoming a real law enforcement issue. The Metropolitan Police in London have even seen fit to include a page on their website listing some simple precautions we can take to minimise our chances of becoming part of the stats.

My own record of mobile phone loss was diabolical when I was living and working in London, some of which was through muggings. One particularly bizarre experience happened when I was briefly living in E17. I was on my way home after a few beers with the work crowd, it was dark, and I'd just got off the tube. As I was feeling a bit lazy I had my mobile in my hand with the intention of making a call to a local taxi firm. Suddenly I found myself surrounded by a gang of youths, ranging in age from 10 to 16 I'm guessing, demanding my mobile. Given their age, I didn't feel too terrified though I was con...

When Motorola decided to bring out a new cell phone they decided to throw away the rule book and what they come out with has certainly begun to stand out from the rest.

The Razr V3 which is generally referred to as the Razr is considered by many to epitomise visually what is at the forefront of cell phone design and technology. The first thing that nobody can ignore with this product is how incredibly thin it is. With it only being 1.4 cm thick and 5.3cm wide (it is about the same width as the credit card you have in your wallet or purse) and it is only 9.8cm long, therefore making it one of the smallest and slimmest cell phones available in the market today. Plus with its distinct looks it is no reason why the Razr's popularity has continued to increase.

Also with its unique style and popular appearance the Razr is certainly not all flash and no substance. As well has...

You can recognize your favorite song, but it sounds a little off, because there is not that much control with a single tone format.

But still many users do use the monophonic ringt...

Remember the “ancient times”, when your cell phone had just two ring options: a shrill, electronic trill, or a scratchy melody (something incredibly dull, like Fur Elise) that came with the unit?

When Nokia, the company he worked for, started experimenting with a nifty function called “smart messaging”, he was hit with a brilliant idea. If people could send text messages to each other, this same software could be used to deliver other types of information, such as the codes of songs. Paananen went straight to work, and came up with a program he dubbed “Harmonium”.

Harmonium was rough by today’s standards, but it set the foundation for the multi billion ringtone industry. It let people program musical sequences into their phones which they could fo...
