Buying Cell Phones Online
Remember those days when portable phones were heavier (and
larger) than bricks? Back in those primitive days, business
people (the only ones who could afford such an expensive
service) spent as much on doctors and massages (to get rid of
the contractures caused by carrying around those eight pound
monsters) as they spent on mobile telephony itself. Worse yet,
those huge phones were rarely sold, but instead they were
leased, so you didn't even own your own equipment.
Luckily for us, mobile telephony has evolved in such a way that
today cell phones are even more used that toasters or Television
sets, as most houses have at least one phone per family member,
but rarely more than three TVs per household.
Amazing advances in technology made cell phones evolution
possible; with the arrival of smaller electronic components
every day, cell phones manufacturers like Motorola or Sony
Ericsson are able to include much many features in the same
physical space. Better yet, many electronic equipment
manufacturers have started to produce cell phones themselves,
making what was almost a monopoly in those days into a very
competitive market.
Today, cell phones are almost as small as a lighter, and some
are in fact smaller than a pack of cigarettes. This makes mobile
phones really easy to use and carry in your pocket in such an
easy way that most people forget they have a phone until it
starts ringing.
And if we talk about ringing phones, we can not avoid mentioning
one of the latest fashions: ringtones. Monophonic tones,
polyphonic music and different tones for different incoming
calls are several features that are very common nowadays. Some
phones even allow you to choose your own MP3 file to play as a
ringtone (I got a "Hey! Answer me!" ringtone I have recorded
myself, hehe). What's more, modern cell phones take
communication to the next level by including the capability to
take pictures and record real time video.
When I look back to those primitive times and then I compare
those monsters to modern equipment, I cannot stop wondering what
new and amazing features will future cell phones include.
