Advancement of Cell Phone Technology

By: Victoria Gustav

Cell phones these days are becoming more and more complex, but they still break down into two basic categories: Conventional Cell Phones and the Smartphone. The benefits of different types of cell phones are varied and depend on your personal and professional needs. 

The Conventional Cell Phone may include such features as a flip-top, a slide-to-open feature, and sometimes, a full QWERTY keyboard. Most are compact and feature a basic keypad. These types of phones are quickly becoming the most economical choice for those whose sole purpose in buying a cell phone is making phone calls. Many of these standard phones are equipped with cameras (generally 1 megapixel) and some basic Bluetooth capabilities. This is a good choice if all you are wanting is a phone.

The Smartphone is quickly becoming the one-stop-shop for the today's on-the-go individual. Smartphones are generally equipped with internet capabilities, a QWERTY keyboard, GPS trackers, 3 megapixel cameras with zoom options, mp3 and media players that allow you to watch video and listen to music, personal calendars, organizers, and programs capable of handling complex office documents. Often, these phones feature touch screens, Wi-Fi capabilities, and voice command. These phones are optimal for someone who works from home or does not work at a desk all day, as it is easy to sync all of your work documents and keep them close at hand.

Some phones may have features of both types of phones, and with such an array of possibilities available, it is possible to find a phone that will fit your needs.
