Cell Phone Technology Just Keeps Getting Better

>> Wednesday, November 02, 2005

If you thought a camera phone was high tech, you might want to think again. According to the Washington Post new Nokia forcasts out of Barcelona, new mobile phone technology is just around the corner.

Nokia has recognized their need to stay competitive in the cellular phone technology market. Cellular phones will only gain in popularity just as the cd player and dvd have in the past 10 years or so. As far as I can tell, Nokia definitely plans on staying on top with their introduction of the N-Series mobile phones. Three new models are set to be out soon. The N71 flip phone is aimed at Internet users, the N80 slider model can connect to TVs and HiFi sets in the home, and the N92 flip can receive mobile TV broadcasts. Talk about a breakthrough in technology.

Their success must stem from their ability to put a large amount of money into R&D to stay ahead of the game. At least they are realizing what they have it hot and in order to keep up with the entire market they need to keep up with Technology.

Since these phones are known as smartphones, more European countries I assume will see these phones first. It will be exciting to see the success in technology and rivalry of the top three cell phone rivals. With "hot spots" everywhere working away from the offiice could be more of a norm for most people around the world.

I heard somewhere once... that in Japan they had phones, that could work like debit cards and you just need to point them at a vending machine, and make your order over your phone...

Could be a myth but the way things are going.. I could imagine it.

It might not be a myth at all considering that I guess here in Vancouver you can pay for parking via your cell phone.
