Motorola has announced officially that they will be releasing several new handsets in the next month. They made the announcement at this year’s CTIA Wireless trade show which was late in March. The CTIA trade show is the largest wireless trade show of its kind, and Motorola is known for unveiling their new handsets there, and this year was no exception. Motorola announced 8 total handsets.

The W385 was one of the new models unveiled by Motorola. The model has a sleek, sophisticated design and was built on Motorola’s Krzr platform. The model is very Krzr-like although it was built to be a much lower-end model. The major differences between the W385 and the Krzr are that the W385 doesn’t have a color screen on the outside and has diminished camera resolution. The resolution of the W385 is VGA and the resolution of the Krzr is 1.3 megapixels.

The model was designed to be an entry level, but still has a fairly nice feature set including the camera/camcorder and Bluetooth. The models also sports voice-activated dialing allow the user to prerecord names of people they would like to call. They can later call these contacts by simply saying their names into the handset. It’s a really nice feature for people who drive a lot.

The model has a very slim design and is one of the smallest models around. The dimensions of the W385 are an astounding 45 x 99 x 18.2 mm. The screen size of the model is 1.8″. Motorola will be releasing the model with Verizon service later this month.

The W355 is another Motorola that was designed on the Krzr platform. Its dimensions are very similar to the W385. The W355 was created to be a true entry-level handset; the model doesn’t even sport a screen on the outside. It does, however have indicators on the outside that will show the user when they have received voice mails and text messages. There is also an outer indicator that shows the user the state of the battery.

Those interested in purchasing the W355 should expect the model to be free with service. Motorola created the model so that they could have a more powerful presence in the entry-level market. The model is quite sleek and looks amazing, but lacks the expensive features that drive up Motorola’s cost.

The model’s main features are its FM radio, speakerphone, and text messaging. The model can’t do picture and video messaging, however. As you can see, the model doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but it was created for people that don’t want to pay for them.

Motorola has definitely shown that they are committed to taking a bigger share of the cell phone market. They have spent a lot this last year to develop some new handsets, and seem to be on the right track. In the past, their successful handsets have almost all been high-end. Now they have announced a series of low-end models that look just as good as the high-end, trendy ones. Watch for Motorola to gain market share on Nokia this year.

Recently, I’ve seen increasing heat in the discussion of how mobile video will eventually be delivered to a mass market of wireless phones. The current discussion seems to be centered on the debate between two approaches: Broadcast of content or Unicast of content.

In the Broadcast model, content at a pre-defined schedule is sent out over shared airwaves, and any subscribing cellphone can watch the video much like TV was 10 years ago. Broadcast in the US cases seems to be achieved by deploying a new network across the country so as not to encumber the cellular network’s capacity.

The second approach, Unicast, is a way of using the 3G or better data networks to carry a streaming video to each individual subscriber. This more closely resembles the Internet video of recent years, and allows individuals to watch whatever they choose at their own schedule, but unfortunately this fills limited data network capacity with each incremental subscriber.

Vendors on the broadcast side (Qualcomm, Modio, Hiwire) are arguing that Unicast distribution over 3G doesn’t scale, and if mobile video is successful, unicast video streams will clog the 3G pipes. MediaFlo is on this side, and has got Verizon and Cingular on board.

But Sprint disagrees, saying that their experience with unicast mobile video indicates that their 3G network has the capacity to meet mobile video demand. That could be interpreted as a negative comment on the demand for video, or a positive statement on their network capacity.

But even though the unicast vs. broadcast debate is an important one, it’s not the real battleground for mobile video. It’s even old news. I wrote about precisely this Mobile vs. Unicast paradox in 2004: neither approach held all the right cards then, nor now (the linked 2004 story explains why). Meanwhile, under the radar the real threat to the carrier’s mobile video aspirations seems to get overlooked at all the conferences and boardroom strategy meetings: OTA vs. Sideloaded. Not sure why, but I think it’s a mix of wishful thinking, yes men, and Kool-aid drinkers.

Here’s what carriers should really worry about: OTA (Over The Air) vs. Sideloaded. That is, the carrier model vs. the iTunes or PVR sideload model. It’s like this: if I have content in my PC or PVR, which I’ve already paid for and chosen as desirable, why would I re-buy content over an expensive 700Kbps wireless network when I could use a free, 480Mbps network (a USB cable) to transfer it from my PC into my phone? Phones with flash memory are well-suited for this, and increasingly available. In fact, I seem to recall a rumor that Apple might even try something in this space…

The real threat to carrier business models is that consumers will learn to move video to their phones without ever passing the telco tollbooth. And Apple is about to educate the masses as to that possibility. Whether consumers buy an iPhone or not isn’t the point - the point is consumers will gravitate towards the cheap, simple solutions that are known to them.

Carriers need to have strategies that take this into account, or their strategies will be doomed. For example, a carrier that invests heavily in a DVB-H solution and subsidizes handsets may find they are losing subs to a carrier like Cingular that offers an iPhone with iTunes Music Store access to cheaper content through sync. Carriers would be better advised to use their handset control advantage in the same way Apple uses iPod control - to route customers to their web-store.

Yes, that’s right; try to control a piece of the inevitable sync market instead of the mythical OTA market.

The OTA solution may still be worthwhile, but only for live content, timely content, and impulse content purchases. So far, the music case has shown that to be a small share of the market. Video will be different, but that’s the reality-infused business model that should be considered before OTA investment is approved.

There are situations in which sometimes we get in, that we feel rather helpless or without knowing exactly what to do or where to go for help. Having a personal cell phone lost or stolen may be one of these situations. In cases like these the following tips may be of some at least to minimize the potential problems you may run into.

1 - You should take care of your cell phone as if it were your personal wallet. The best way to avoid being liable with fraudulent charges is to do whatever you can within your means to avoid unauthorized calls in the first place. Check the user guide that comes with your phone set and start using the lock or password feature to potentially prevent a theft from making unauthorized phone calls. There are ways to get around passwords, but you will probably be buying yourself some time until you realize the loss of your cell phone and call your service phone provider.

2 - Call your cell phone service provider as soon as you discover the loss. Report your missing/stolen device and be sure to keep records of the date and time you called your phone carrier, the name of the person to whom you spoke to, and what you have been informed. Also take note of the state and the region of their call center, plus their telephone extension number. Finally ask for confirmation in writing that your device has been disabled. Some companies can even email this to you.

3 - File a police report. It may not be much of a help in getting your cell phone back, but it should provide an official record of the missing/stolen cell phone. Keep the police report number available while reporting the loss to the phone carrier. Also you may open an investigation with your carrier if necessary. If you are not getting an immediate response by working directly with your cell phone company, do not waste any more time. Contact your phone carrier and request an immediate investigation. Usually a formal request for an investigation will prevent formal collections filed by the phone carrier, not to mention that might delay reporting to any credit bureaus against the phone user.

4 - When requesting an investigation, let your phone carrier know that you will be filling a complaint with the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), your state attorney general`s office, and your state`s public utility commission (PUC). After taking these steps, the phone carriers will most likely pay closer attention to you, once they become aware that you are an informed consumer. According to a 2006 AARP/ROPER cell phone survey, half of all cell phone users between the age of 18 and over, report not knowing who to call to in the event their cell phone carrier is unable to resolve a billing/service problem to the user satisfaction. Beware that FCC is going to forward your complaint to your phone service provider, requiring a return from them within a month.

5 - Contact your attorney general`s office. According to their website, state attorney general offices handles complaints about cell phone frauds and contract disputes. This office has lawsuits against phone companies based on phone user complaints, resulting sometimes in refunds to consumers and new agreements made by cell phone service providers on behalf of their cell phone users. Also contact your state`s PUC. Each state has a government agency, usually called utility commission, which handles consumer problems with telephone companies.

A missing or stolen cell phone may become a big problem if the user does not take immediate actions. Filing a formal missing/stolen report together the with cell phone service carrier and government agencies are the necessary steps one should take to make sure he will not have any more losses. Get to know your rights as a consumer and make sure the any loss you are going to have, in the event of a missing/stolen cell phone, will be the cell phone itself.

After reading several opinions I became aware of how confusing and time spending it can be the simple task of going to the mall searching for a new cell phone. There are so many options, brands, models, deals and services available that one can get very confused when it is time to make a choice of which is the best deal to choose from all the options available. Thinking about this problem, I decided to point out a few suggestions and I hope it can be of good use for those who want to save some time, money and find better deals.

Before deciding to buy a cell phone handset it is wise to really know what your needs are and which type of service will serve you better. If you are an occasional user of a mobile phone, perhaps you may want to consider a service that offers the prepaid charges rather that the service that charges you by the month.

The prepaid choice seems to be very attractive for those on a low budget and also simply because it will give you total control of how much money you want to spend, let`s say in one month or during a certain time. This service is also known as pay as you go. It is by far the most popular plan available today. Keep in mind that with this plan, there is no contract to sign and therefore no penalties involved in case one decides to quit or use another service.

Don`t be an impulsive buyer, before you make any decisions on purchasing a brand or model, I strongly suggest you to look for the online deals available. I personally have found very attractive deals on the internet and the online deals have become very popular with most users. Carefully check the options, prices, features on each model and compare the final costs with the models available at your local shop. Keep in mind that the overhead expenses the traditional shops have are the main reason for the same product to cost much more than the similar product obtained from an online source. Always prefer payments with credit cards, which will offer more security for the online transaction.

Since there are several models and brands of cell phones available in the market today, you may want to choose what seems to be most appealing to you regardless of its size, shape or design. You are the one who will be using it and you should be pleased with your choice.

Many new features and gadgets have been added to the new generation of cell phones. Most major brands have a variety of models that will certainly satisfy from the simpler to the most sophisticated user. The latest mobile phones have capabilities which include video calling, video recording, digital camera, mp3 player, GPS tracking system and other features. So if you don`t need any of these features, you may just want to stick to the basic and no frills type of handset which is much less expensive to purchase and much simpler to use.

Unless you’ve been living in an illusory world, without a mobile phone, you would in all probability have heard the term SMS. It is also frequently referred to as “texting.” It has become the rage of the 21st century as mobile phone users are constantly trying to find novel things to do their mobile phones. Today we live in a quick-paced world and more and more people are turning to texting as a means of relating to each other. The dating world is no exception. With the onslaught of online daters, and long distance romances increasing, SMS or texting has just become a very convenient way of getting in touch with your near and dear ones. Couple texting and SMS with emails and IM, you don’t even need to actually speak to anyone anymore to have a relationship or friendship. Enter the magical world of mobile phones - with all the familiar brand names: Samsung, Nokia, LG, Sony-Ericsson and what have you.

SMS and texting are known for their pithyness. Something like “Mt me @ 9PM, R spt” or “IM @11??” can change your entire routine in a few short seconds. There is no need for 2 calls, long drawn out emails, or any confusion about detailed exchanges. In fact, texting is a 13 for people with 7 lives that literally need to book time with each other.

How far-flung is SMS for dating? Mobile phone companies are making it more available to their consumers, because each SMS sent literally means cash in their pocket. Recently, Cingular Wireless conducted a survey to find out if mobile phones and SMS had really affected their customer’s romantic relationships. Their findings proved that SMS is in fact the new dating tool of the 21st century:

* 38% of users said one of their dates had responded to text messages sent during a dinner conversation. Of those 38%, 31% of them admitted to doing the same.
* 10% of users have texted someone out of their lives. This makes the Sex and the City “Post-It Note” episode look harmonious.
* 17% have texted to get out of an uncomfortable date.
* 12% used texting news reports as a conversation starter with their date or partner.
* 8% said a relationship has ended over offensive texting behavior.
* 28% would rather text their partner than get involved in a long conversation.
* 5% have used their mobile phone to text another love interest while on a date with someone else. 7% claimed they suspected their date of doing the same thing.
* 6% say they assess someone else by how they text
* 59% of regular daters use texting to communicate with their dates, and 30% of married couples do the same thing with their spouses.

It just goes to show, that SMS and texting are not only more far-flung in the dating world, it seems it is almost a requirement today. Go ahead, reach out and message someone. That is what mobile telephony is all about.

A decade ago perhaps the options weren`t very many, but as time went by and with the advancement of high technology, cell phones became increasingly available for just about everyone, and most of us questioned which will be the best suitable service option when choosing a cell phone. Today there are two basic options: the prepaid cell phone service, which allows you to control more closely how much you can or want to spend in a particular month, and the standard cell phone service, which usually charges you a monthly bill. Both services seem to offer very good deals depending upon each person needs.

The prepaid service is meant primarily for users who want to keep a closer control of the amount of expenses in phone calls. After the phone credits are gone, one has the option to buy some more or not, keeping his expenses within a limit. This kind of service became very popular and it seems to keep growing every day worldwide. In developing countries, where cell phone tariff is expensive, prepaid services made possible to just about everyone to make use of cell phones.

Another advantage of this service is the fact that in case of a phone loss, one doesn`t have to worry much about phone calls made by third parties, because the cell phone has usually a small amount of credits inserted in. Once the stolen-lost cell phone is reported to the service provider, the phone chip will be canceled and no more hassle to worry about, except for the loss of the handset.

The standard cell phone service seems to be meant for the more active users who regularly dial phone calls or don`t care to go through the hassle of buying cell phone credits often. Although this service usually has a less expensive tariff than the prepaid service, users tend to make more use of it and because of that they end up spending more money with phone services.

One does really have to consider the options available and find out which is the most suitable for his personal use. The option for prepaid service seems to be more adequate for the less amount of usage the average people usually do. Those who prefer the prepaid service, do so because it is more attractive to their needs and they don`t have to worry about paying more for an extra service that it is not going to be used anyway.

For those who can`t afford a more expensive model or simply don`t want to spend any extra money for a cell phone, the prepaid service then becomes the ideal choice. However for those who need to keep updated this latest high-tech cell phone features and making phone calls is part of his personal or professional life, then the standard monthly paid service will seem more appropriate.

So whenever picking a cell phone service plan, make sure it fits your lifestyle. After all it`s you who will be paying the phone bill.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) was funded, developed and controlled by the US Department of Defense. Since the late seventies, GPS has become an important aid to navigation around the world. Initially designed for the US military, GPS became publicly available years later and it is now considered an important feature in lots of consumer products.

How does GPS work? Well, basically there are three elements that make everything work: satellites, earth monitoring stations and receivers (ex: cell phone, gps receiver). GPS provides specially coded satellite signals that can be processed in a GPS receiver, enabling the receiver to compute position, velocity and time.

Today, most cell phones are not limited to carry on just a conversation. Features like mp3 player, digital camera and video camera have all become standards in the latest cell phone models. It is expected that the GPS feature will soon be added to this list, and it will offer the capability of tracking any cell phone user.

The capability of tracking a cell phone user becomes important in emergency situations, like a car accident, thru the use of 911 emergency phone call, where every minute may be a matter of life or death. In situation like this, the GPS system may pinpoint the exact location of the road accident, enabling emergency services to be quickly dispatched.

It is important to mention that so far most GPS system in cell phone is restricted to tracking information only. However, one can have navigational capability thru the use of full screen cell phone/PDA combos with map displays and other cellular phone accessories, and third party paid services. If one does not want to sign up for a monthly paid subscription service, he can make use of one-time-paid-only software programs that will enable some of the navigational capabilities.

Although there are many benefits in using GPS cell phones, there are some people who are concerned about the violation of personal privacy. Since the US Congress has not authorized location tracking without actual evidence of wrongdoing, there have been court hearings which have not approved the requests of government agencies in obtaining the cell phone GPS tracking information for suspects or ordinary citizens.

This privacy matter has made some progress towards the cell phone user`s rights, since there are some laws that have been passed which guarantees that GPS cell phone users will have some protection from the release of the tracking information, with the exception of 911 emergency cell phone calls. It is expected that these laws will guarantee that the benefits of GPS in cell phones will be enjoyed by everyone without infringing anybody`s privacy.

Sometimes when there is a technological innovation, there are also some concerns about privacy or some rights infringements. But no matter how much of a concern this is, it seems that a compromise will always have to be reached, so that new technologies will take their places in everyone`s lives. After all, we all live in a globalized consumer world. By the way, have you already got your GPS cell phone?

Globally, SMS text messaging is the most preferred method of communication between business executives. Ranking last in this group are American business execs. Why? Hard to explain considering SMS is the fastest form of communication ever invented, and also the most discrete form of electronic communication in existence. One would think these executives would embrace the convenience and immediacy of text messaging especially after being badly served by the cellular telecom industry for years. Poor handsets, poor coverage, poor services, bad pricing and inferior interconnectivity have been standard for the cellular industry since its inception. With this revenue powerhouse continuing to build, the success of SMS text messaging is hard to ignore. In 2006 this service generated 80 billion dollars of revenue worldwide that’s as much as total Hollywood box office, plus total music industry plus total video gaming, combined.

Certainly these execs do not need to add text messaging to the long list of “Things My Teenager Can Do That I Can’t.” All teenagers in all countries can send text messages without even looking at their phone. They do it like a gymnast does a forward roll: easy. 48% of British teenagers admit to sending text messages while they talk to another person. One third of South Korean teenagers average 100 txt messages per day! The Belgian study at Catholic University of Leuwen found that over half of teenagers regularly wake up to incoming text messages from their friends.

Now for a reality check: the average e-mail is opened within 48 HOURS.

Hours.

A text message is immediate. Instant. Bam! It’s there, on your phone, undeniable.

In 2002 the majority of UK executives used SMS in work related communications. Keep in mind; London business execs are even more conservative than New York lawyers and investment bankers. What are we missing?

By 2004 SMS text messaging had become the most preferred business communication method. Ahead of e-mail, voice-mail and voice calls. SMS text messaging among business users is the preferred means to communicate in uber conservative England! Even the Estonian government sends out the agenda for the meetings via SMS. The Finnish Prime Minister’s voicemail greeting says, “don’t leave me voicemail; send me a text message instead.” The Singapore government has decided all e-government will be SMS-enabled.

Voice calls are barely a choice anymore. Consider the time it takes to actually connect with the person you are calling. More than half the time you call someone, you end up in voicemail jail. That person may allow your call to go into voicemail on purpose with the full intent on planning to call you back. But then meetings, a bathroom break, a bad signal, another call, their hands full all prevent that from actually happening. The actual case of getting straight through and being able to talk to your counterpart is certainly less than 25% and could easily be under 10% of all calls.

In any case, you can send a text message and it arrives immediately. Immediately into the meeting where phones are on silent. Immediately while he is talking to your competitor on the other line. He can read your message while he is carrying on the other conversation. Even if that person’s phone is turned off, the moment it comes on again, your text message arrives. No need to check voicemail. Just read a quick note.

There are 2.7 BILLION cell phone users. There are 1.8 billion ACTIVE users of SMS text messaging. In Europe SMS usage is over 80% per capita and in Britain it is 85%.

To be fair, there is much we cannot do in SMS that we can use e-mail for. But for the fastest form of messaging and for the most urgent business communications, you can’t beat SMS text messaging.

On another note, there is the discretion of texting. You can say things on SMS you cannot say in public. SMS is private, covert, and efficient. You can convey lots of data that is not easy on voice calls. Get a phone number, an address, a reservation code. Any time you need a pencil and paper, it’s actually a lot easier to transmit that data via SMS.

SMS text messaging is like the communication of the elite. You get to the front of the line; the top of the heap, your SMS message arrives before any voicemails can be retrieved. SMS is like a VIP card, the right to go ahead of the line, to cut lines ahead of the queue. What a privilege to have your communication treated as the most important!

Then there is the other item that we all need more of but no one can buy: TIME. The UK survey by the MDA reveals that the most valued use of SMS by IK business executives is to manage their time. The most valuable tool to manage their time is SMS text messaging.

Norwegians and the Irish in Europe average 2 messages per day. Malaysians, 4 messages per day. Koreans 10, Singaporeans 12 and Philippines 15 per day.

Then there is the American Dinosaur. Out of Americans today, according to the latest data by the CTIA, 42% of Americans send text messages, and they average 0.6 text messages per phone user across the whole country. This is totally in line with the UK five years ago or Finland 8 years ago. Americans must see texting as a corporate efficiency communication tool, and not just the next teenager cool thing.

Cell phones or mobile phones have had a great impact on the way we lead our lives. In today’s world, where change is the only constant, cell phones have been upgraded with lots of new technological features. There has been a tremendous growth in the use of cell phones all over the world and now almost anybody has a personal cell phone. What started in 1960s as a bulky radio communication equipment to be used at the time of war, it has now become a small pocket device with a host of special features specially crafted for the common consumer.

It satisfies more than the basic need to communicate. It is a fashion statement, an identity of self and it comes in hundreds of models. Nokia is the world’s largest manufacturer of cell phones followed by Motorola, Samsung, BenQ, Siemens, Panasonic, Philips, LG, NEC, Sony Ericsson, Fujitsu and many more. Apart from calling and texting, cell phones are used for a variety of purposes, to keep contact information, to make task lists and daily schedules, browse mobile websites and check emails, play games, watch video clips, listen to music, take pictures and much more. Also cell phones are easy to integrate with other electronic devices such as notebooks, music systems and etc. With the availability of infrared and Bluetooth technology, a lot of wireless connectivity is possible, such as the use of wireless headphones. Also you can make your phone interact with your notebook without any physical connection.

So, what should you look for while purchasing a new cell phone? The points to consider include the service plan, price, size, weight, features and technical specifications, compatibility with other devices, display screen resolution and a very important feature: battery life. The latest features offered by cell phones are mega pixel camera, wireless connectivity, modem capability, PC synchronization, music and video player and a lot more.

Today, you can access the World Wide Web through your cell phone. To access internet, your cell phone has to be WAP-enabled. Many companies have created mobile compatible websites that make browsing on your phone very easy. You can get the latest news, stock quotes and game scores on the move through your cell phone. The advanced third-generation phones (3G phones) will soon storm the market and will have high-end graphical display that will enable better video conferencing and gaming experience.

Everybody must follow basic cell phone etiquettes. Your mobile should not ring in public and disturb others. Sometimes mobile phones ring at odd instances like in movie theatres, weddings, funerals, important official meetings, etc., and to top it the fancy ring tones disturb everybody else around you. You should keep your cell phone in the silent mode when you are at a public place and you must never talk on the cell phone while driving. This might put you in trouble in many countries as there are heavy fines on cell phone misuse.

Cell phones have become an intrinsic part of our lives that most of us cannot imagine a single day without it. Ring tones, caller tunes, mobile gaming, camera, texting, MMS and video messaging, audio and video recording and viewing are still not enough. New technologies are developed often to reduce size and weight, increase speed, provide a better user interface, to pack more high-definition features into a small pocket device. With GPS (global positioning system) capability, cell phones have become so useful that a person carrying one could be located to a range of a few meters, anywhere on the globe! GPS cell phones are important devices in locating users in emergency situations, which allows emergency services to be quickly dispatched.
