Many advantage we could have using mobile phone. It's not just a good to keep us stay intouch, but it could represent the personality from the owner. And now, there is good news for they who love music and can't live without it. MP3 players now available in everywhere with various capacities, various models, and various price of course. No doubt that the raising of Mp3 format in has reduced popularity cassette player, and even cd's!!
Many vendors now launch mobile phones with mp3 player built in these days. A mobile phones and music player in one piece, isn't that cool? and also, the music player in the mobile phones also equipped with accessories that will complete the joyness listening music. Let's say graphic equalizer with many built in presets, bass bost, high quality earphones, and also the important factor is the space to store music files.
Recently, Nokia and Sony Ericsson had launched mobile phones with music player equipped with very large space to store file. Nokia vendor with Nokia N91 equipped it with 4 gigabytes space to keep music files! cool! that way it's called a Juke Box phone when its launched. Sony Ericsson with W900i, is equipped with 470 mb store that able to be expanded into 2 giga maxs using Memory Stick. Well, it's not as huge as N91's, but remember, N91's space is provided by mini harddisk as its media, since W9001 using flash. We also know that harddisk has a moving component inside it since flash doesn't. So, you better becareful not to shake your N91 (or drop it) because you could damage the harddisk and risk loosing your music files. Flash is safer because there is no moving component inside it since it using magnetic to store files, but it's more expensive.
Actually, Samsung also launched mobile phone with 3 gigs based microdrive format. It uses Microsoft Windows Mobile as OS and of course it has a built in music player application. I think music player application ini this device is only as accessories, I mean, by using Windows OS, the vendor target this device for executive or work companion. There is no dedicated music application button in it, which N91 and W900i has. But the advantage is, it could handle WMF music format that other brand can't.
Is this phenomenon gonna kill ipod? we know ipod is the most popular digital music player. One thing for sure, those who has ipod, I am sure they have mobile phone, but those who have phone, not all of them have ipod. So, you better carry one thing that could do two things rather than carry two things with their own function?

Mobile Phones To Help Fight Crime
A new scheme has been launched in three towns across the UK, encouraging people to report anti-social behaviour using their mobile camera phones. Harlow in Essex (home town of Mouse2house.co.uk) as well as Bristol and Ipswich have been given the opportunity to test this new way of reporting anti-social behaviour.
Initially residents are being invited to snap photos of graffiti and vandalism using their mobile phones, which can then be sent over the mobile phone network to council officers on 07739 888 558 with the word Harlow, Bristol or Ipswich (depending on which town you are in) followed by details of where the offence has taken place. Once the image/s are received at the council offices they will then be added to the anti-social behaviour database, which is shared across several other organisations. The cost of sending a message is dependent on the person's mobile phone tariff.
Harlow council joint leader Cllr Chris Millington said: "This new service will help increase people's involvement in making Harlow a safer, cleaner place to live by expanding the ways in which these crimes are reported to us". "It's important to stress," said the other joint leader, Cllr Kevin Brooks, "that we don't want people to put themselves at risk by photographing perpetrators as they commit the crime, but photos of damage caused by anti-social behaviour will be useful in monitoring activity and building up evidence".
According to a police spokesman, the police in Harlow welcome this partnership initiative as it encourages residents to become involved in helping towards the improvement of the environment and local community. If the scheme is proven to be successful in the three towns, it is proposed that the scheme is rolled out across the rest of the country.
This type of scheme demonstrates the changing face of the mobile phone and it's use. It is no longer just a device for making phone calls, but a mobile device with many uses i.e. photos, video, music, note taking, voice recording etc. Imagine if you are unfortunately involved in a minor motor accident, you would be able to take photographic, video and audio records of the incident details which can later be used as evidence if necessary, no more 3rd parties denying that the accident took place or changing the story of what actually happened!
If you already have one of these great devices, don't forget the most important part, the memory card to record on to. You can get exactly what you need from www.mouse2house.co.uk, where else!

Chatting
Do you like chatting? well, most of you that spend much time with internet should know well about massenger. Massenger is an application that let us chat with someone around the world. There are some popular massengers, which are : MSN massanger, Yahoo massanger, AOL massanger, etc. I my self use yahoo massanger and MSN massanger to chat with friends all around the world.
How about if we could not reach the internet because we don't sit in front of our PC, yet we want to chat with friend? I have a friend who has girlfriend studying abroad, during this time, when they like to communicate, they use massanger to chat plus a webcame to see each other. The problem is, that my friend couldn't always stay tune in front of the PC because internet is still exspensive in this country :(. and if chatting through sms, the cost is too high, so sms is not absolutely a good idea to chat.
Do you know that selular phone can be use as massanger with very low cost? Well, actualy just a few type of phone could do it, because the this application must be istalled first to the phone. also the phone should support GPRS and also your SIM Card also is support GPRS. There are many popular mobile massanger, but the most popular one is Agile Massanger.
Agile Massanger run in many platforms or OS, such like Symbian, UIQ, and Microsoft Product (Windows Smarphone and Windows Mobile). I my self use XDAII as my phone. Because it's OS is Windows Mobile, so Agile Massanger could run well.
About the cost, how exspensive is it? Well... Agile Massanger run through GPRS so that the calculation of cost depend on data we receive or send. In Agile Massanger, there is 'Traffic Counter' menu that calculate data we use during chatting, its “In” and “out”. Note that data size is represent as kb (kilobyte). Tariff per kb data is different from operator, but it is definetly much much cheaper than sms. In my country, it takes IDR 300,- or IDR 350,- per sms, and it takes about IDR 11,- untill IDR 25,- per kb data through GPRS.
Base on my own experience, chatting using this massanger through my phone takes a reasonable prize rather then using sms. We could chat as long as we like without to worry our bill will go high because it is so cheap, also you could monitor the tariff by accesing 'Traffic Counter' menu.
So, by mobile massanger, we could chat anytime or anywhere withaout having to face PC and connect to internet. As long as there is phone signal, we could chat with anybody. Isn't that cool? Read More..

Cellular Phone
How bad do you need a selular phone? Has selular phone became the part of you? Well, no doubt that selular phone is an important thing these days. Almost everbody carrying phone in their pockets or in their bag...
Especially for those who make a long distance relationship, selular phone is next item after breathing :), through that thing, u could hear ur partner's beautiful voices, in fact, when you use headset (especially the stereo one), you'll feel her/his voice inside your head, warming your soul, relaxing your mind, ..... isn't that cool!
Especially when a celular operator stakes very cheap for every hour conversation (under IDR 2000), or another operator provides economic tariff everytime calling above 11.00 AM everyday.
The amazing is, phone has made distance, space, n time no matter anymore. The populary of selular phone reduce pager, conventional letter, and become a serious competitor with email.
Taking care of selular Phone is not a hard thing, below are some tips that you could use to make yout phone always in good condition n perform well
1. Use Case. Actually, its not recommended to keep your phone in the pocket along with other things you carrying (coins, key, etc), because it will scratch your phone's case n it won't look nice anymore.
its true it will no affect the phone's performance. but as we know that these days phone has became a part of our appearnce, of course we dont want tobe look bad just because we carry a 'bad casing selular phone' rite?
You could use a case for your selular phone. There are various fabric and various price, so all you have todo is choose the kind you like and have your phone protected
2. Use handsfree. No matter what you ride, always use handsfree when using phone. It's for safety reason. I my self often find person that making call while they ride. It's not just dangerous for him/her self you know, but it also dangerous to people around.
Maybe some people don't like using handsfree because they don't like the wire around their nect. Well, if you are part of them, you could consider bluetooth handsfree. There are so many type of blueetooth handsfree with various price. The advantage using that thing is, beside you are safer making call while riding, it's also make u look good :)
3. Take care the battery. Battery is important component of the phone. It is supplying the energy so that the phone runs. There 2 type of battery that well know by people, which are : Ni-MH battery and Li-ion battery. But actually most selular phone use Li-ion as their original battery.
Just remember that it has different treatment for each kind of battery.
Ni-MH battery needs to be full empty before it get charge because the 'memory effect' will not appear. Memory Effect is condition that prevent fully charge of the battery. To avoid that, make sure the battery is empty before you charge.
Li-ion battery has no 'Memory Effect', so it could be charge whenever you want. But Li-ion battery has somekind of 'age', I mean, it will reduce the capacity to hold energy along the time we use it. It happends whether you use it or not, that's why there is somekind of time limit to this battery. To slow this down, when you plan not to use Li-ion battery for a long time, you better place it in the refrigerator.
For both type of batteris, don't often charging the battery trough your car since the electricity is not stable so it could damage the battery.
4. If you familiar with the features of your phone, well you are blessed. Because so many people use their “sophisticated selular phone” just for making call and send sms or maybe listening music. Whereas, there are so many thing that could be done by selular phones, such like send or receive email, fax, surfing the web, and with additional software, you could chatting with your mate using massenger! isn't that cool? also you could edit or making document such as word or exel using your phone too.
Those features could improve our productivity and efficienty, so our life would go easier.
Well, it's all what I could tell you to make your phone perform well, and also to make your life easier. Actually there are still many tips to take care your phone, but I couldn't tell rite now.
