The dramatic development of mobile phones into third generation pocket sized mini computers means that everyone can find several uses for their mobile, above and beyond the ability of being in immediate contact with anyone they choose, anywhere else in the World.

There should be no mistake, mobile phones have long since evolved from being just an item to receive and transmit voice conversations to becoming sophisticated, powerful, hand held mini computers. As is the case with almost any item of computer hardware prices have been gradually reducing whilst their power and versatility has been increased. This means that buying a gift of a mobile phone is far away from being an extravagance in these financially difficult times, but instead a lesson in practicality.

Having said that, the leading mobile phone manufacturers, such as Nokia, Samsung, Blackberry and Motorola to name a few, have never forsaken the effort to produce ultra-modern designs and features to make owning a mobile phone a pleasurable, fashion driven experience. And not only that it seems that the smarter the latest generation of smartphones get, the lighter they get in weight also. You can fit all the telecommunication and computer power you need into your top pocket these days.

So when it comes to making up your Christmas present list for 2008, you should give some serious thought of making a new mobile phone a present of choice. And maybe hope that your friends and family will think the same.

Developments and ease of use in laptops is far from lagging behind, and the overall picture is that there is more than ample place for both pieces of communication equipment in the artillery of any business man on the move.

It wasn’t that long ago that you couldn’t step into an airport departure lounge and not be overwhelmed by the spectacle of hundreds of business executives poring over the mobile computers. It was a scene so intense that it looked like it would have to go on forever. However as the smart phones seemed to get bigger and smarter, they obviously gained no certain amount of popularity and manufacturers pull out all of the stops to add more features then there were many who considered that the smart phone could replace the laptop as their principal piece of communication equipment.

However as the smart phone has developed in its fashion, so has the laptop. Now considerably lighter, yet with a larger screen and much more powerful, the laptop has made a separate niche for itself as a home computer. Where once a laptop could cost twice or three times what a desktop computer could cost, the par has been reduced considerably. Also most homes in the UK now have routers that can allow wireless reception anywhere within the home and forty meters outside of it. This means that the laptop is still a very comfortable piece of equipment to have around and certainly justifies its cost.

Looking not too far off into the future, the emphasis on progress will more than certainly be on these new generations of smart mobile phones, with Apple, Google and RIM will be looking into adding more strength and variety to their smart phone ranges and who knows where it might lead. The general feeling amongst experts still remains that both of these important items still have a separate function. Whilst it is feasibly possible to make a phone call from a laptop to anywhere in the World or rewrite the “Magna Karta” on you mobile phone, neither function would be particularly easy or comfortable for the user. For that reason, it would appear that there is a place for both in the gadget driven society of today.

Stylish and highly fashionable the Nokia may be, and practical to a certain extent with its 2 mega pixel camera, music player, radio and even a voice recorder, it is certainly far from being a workhorse. For a start the Nokia 7380 is pretty difficult to dial out from as it has no keypad, instead a circular spinner which while attractive may be too much like hard work for the less than nimble fingered among us. Although the 7380 comes with an impressive array of bundled features, these are less than enhanced by its tiny screen and 52mega of memory, which does not make for storing too many photographs of today’s dimensions.

Taken that the Nokia 7380 was designed and produced to be the leader in a line of fashion phones, they have obviously gone along with the line that fashion does not mean practicality. Designed for the fashion conscious female, the kind of low powered high fashion look, has gained fame as the second mobile phone to be recognized as part of a bone fide fashion collection, the Nokia’s L’Amour range, with the first being also from Nokia, the 7280. If we didn’t know better it might be difficult to recognize the 7380 as a mobile phone. Instead it has the look of some kind of fashion accessory such as a mirror or lipstick. And as is in keeping with any object of high fashion, the Nokia 7380 does not come too cheap, selling for around $600 per unit. Quite a layout for cell phone with obvious technical limitations, even though it does come complete with an orange L’Amour designer tag proudly displayed on its right side.

What may be a major drawback in the future for those who have chosen a Nokia 7380 is its internal rechargeable battery. The battery cannot be replaced by the camera’s owner when the time comes. The only people who can provide a replacement battery is Nokia themselves through one of their authorized service facilities. As the phone looks like it will be in limited use for most of the battery’s life it may well be that it will last a long time. Maybe Nokia’s hope is that by the time the battery needs to be changed, the 7380 will no longer be the fashion statement that it once was, and a newer and sleeker model will be on the market, and instead of changing the battery, the Nokia 7380 will be replaced in its entirety. That’s the way things work in the cruel world of fads and fashions.

Designed to provide what appears to be a tantalizing hint of what may be coming in the mobile phone world over the next few years are so, very view of these models are available commercially at least in any number.

Nokia, renowned for their ground breaking design and technology have set the standards for their competitors with the introduction of their 888 model and really got the mobile phone industry talking. Based on a design buy a Turkish student of Industrial design Tamer Nakisci, prepared specially for the Nokia Benelux Open Design Awards, the Nokia 888 communicator is characterized by its malleable interface. An interface that is capable of being twisted and shaped into an endless variety of different shapes going as far as “Dick Tracey” style wrist band phone.

And not only has that it actually worked! The Nokia 888 is run by liquid batteries and along with all the usual and up to date mobile telephone features, it is also equipped with speech recognition software, flexible touch screen and touch-sensitive body cover. Make no mistake; the Nokia 888 is no gimmick. It boasts a body shape so sleek and fitted with a programmable mechanism that it will allow it to change its form to suit for any situation.

No matter where or how you wear it, when a call comes in the 888 rapidly reverts to normal telephone. Taking this concept a stage or two further, the 888 can also send a message to another 888 (and there are a few around) that will cause that phone to alter its shape instead of or as well as yours.

Not to be outdone, NEC has introduced their “tag” mobile phone using a similar concept to that used by Nokia. Produced using a form of synthetic material similar to rubber in feel and look, the NEC will do all that the 888 does.

NEC has taken a similar technology and utilizes integral multiple pressure sensors to “memorize” the Tag’s most recent shape and store it in its memory. .

Yet to be released in any commercial form although it was introduced more than two years ago the NEC Tag Soft-Shell Mobile Phone to give it her full title speaks shows us a brief glimpse of how our mobile phones will look and operate in the not to distant future.
The imagination boggles of the possibilities that the Nokia 888, the NEC tag and those that will come after will provide for mobile phone users in the years to come.

The social aspect of owning and using a mobile phone has gradually reached a stage where it has become a major problem for most UK parents to justify the costs involved. Many well meaning parents have succumbed to the pressure applied by the child or children to “keep up with the rest of the crowd” and have a mobile phone just like everybody else. They are also inclined to justify equipping their kids with a mobile phone for ease of contact, which can be very important in these times for many reasons. Yet their children are either unable or unwilling to grasp the fact that mobile phone conversations are very expensive and often unnecessary or far too long drawn out. This entire means that the parent is left to pay the bill, with the only guarantee that it won’t happen again is the promise that “It won’t happen again.” Not that quite a large number of adults are not susceptible to spending too much time and too much money on their mobile phones every month.

For that reason, pay as you go phones can be a pretty serious consideration for people who want to reduce their outgoings on mobile phone calls. However pay as you go can have its disadvantages and is not guaranteed to be a success. What is required is a lot of discipline, and not everybody has that gift at their disposal. To a rebel teenage mobile phone freak, placing some kind of restriction on the amount of time they can spend on their mobile phone is the equivalent to a breach of their rights as a citizen, or at least a member of the family. They may make no effort to ration the number of calls they make or SMS’s they send, and within a few days the pay as you go time has been used up. Then the dilemma is: do you leave your loved ones without the ability to make contact in an emergency or do you top up the phone card even more.

The hope is that you or your loved ones will adapt to the pay as you go option within the realisation that mobile telephone costs needs be taken into account. The act of restriction may be difficult to dish out, but it certainly is a very viable alternative to those who want to keep their mobile phone costs under control.

Stylish and highly fashionable the Nokia may be, and practical to a certain extent with its 2 mega pixel camera, music player, radio and even a voice recorder, it is certainly far from being a workhorse.

The invention of mobile phone has led to mobile bullying. Mobile phone bullies or troublemakers send abusive text messages to people they come across through various social websites. These bullies use your phone numbers and names to spread offensive messages, thus hiding their identity. In fact, you as victim have to bear the brunt and pay a huge price for the unknown act.

Cyber Stalking

To add more trouble for you, these people resort to cyber stalking often. It involves using the Internet for stalking or preying upon someone. The Information Technology (IT) industry defines cyber stalking as unacceptable use of the communications and information technology such as the Internet by either an individual or a group for harassing other people globally. The victim may even be an organisation.

What Bullies Do?

Through cyber stalking, mobile phone bullies may pass on threats, lay false accusations, monitor personal details of someone and cause harm to any confidential equipment or data. They might even solicit the minors by making sexual advances towards them to make their life miserable.

Hence, be cautious before disclosing your phone number to an unknown person. A smart move to avoid bullies is to change the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, the moment it is flooded with abusive text messages or phone calls. It is advisable you keep track of the date and time on reception of such hoax calls or texts.

Gather Concrete Proof

If you suffer repeatedly at the hands of bullies, do not respond to their messages and calls. Save the messages to your mobile, so they serve as evidence, while lodging a police complaint. Mobile users may even register a complaint at the customer care cell of the network provider, so it enquires into details and saves you from potential harm.

Be careful, while you may be using your mobile phone for forwarding text messages to friends and close acquaintances, pranksters, on the other hand, may use your identity to spread objectionable messages, and may thus cause serious damage to your good name.

Bullying Ways

Call tracing: Once bullies trace a particular phone number, they start forwarding indecent messages to unknown people in the name of the mobile user. It is good to lodge a formal complaint with the service provider as well as the police.

Abusive phone call: It might vary from shouting to making threats to even remaining silent all through the call. To scare someone is indeed an act of bullying.

Text bullying: Often troublemakers bully people by sending them offensive text messages. The message might be an abuse or even a word of threat. Here, bullies invite trouble to your name by making use of your phone number and try to hide their personal identity.

Overview:

If you fall prey to mobile phone bullying, do not lose temper. Remember, many a time, bullies do not hide their personal identity, as they think their fear is enough to scare the recipient and maintain silence. Here, you have the opportunity to report such a matter to the concerned authorities, who will take the necessary disciplinary actions against the bullies. Bring it to the notice of the law immediately, if you are suffering from mobile phone bullying.
