What is a Smartphone?
Mobile phones have evolved at an astonishing rate over the last ten years.
What once was simply a portable telephone is now equal to carrying around a portable PC.
What Do Smartphones Do?
A Smartphone offers the basic functions of mobile phone with the added bonus of mobile software, email and business applications, and HD camera and video software.
Enabling you to handle calls, but also email, social networking, applications, GPS-enabled navigation solutions – such as Google maps – and browse the web on the go (see more below under ‘Web Browsing’).
The powerful operating systems on which these Smartphones run means you can use multiple applications at once – similar to how you would at home on your computer.
With an extensive range of software available, for example on some devices, Windows Mobile allows you to edit Microsoft Office documents using your phone, making it ideal for business users or students.
And for those looking to use their phone more for fun, you can download free themes to add a personal touch to your device.
Web Browsing
Regardless of whether your device is a Smartphone or not, with open-source operating systems, you can access the Web ‘over-the-air’ using 3G (HSDPA) or via a Wi-Fi&™ connection.
With this level of connectivity, you are able to browse online content and send and receive emails quickly, easily and simply whilst on the go.
You can even download applications, mov,ies and songs.
