Since the day of its inception, the mobile
phones has constantly evolved with newer technology and repackaged
itself with more and more features. The very basic use of a mobile
phone - to make and receive calls from anywhere - is no longer its
sole functionality. Today mobile phones are fast progressing to
become an all-in-one device that include the functions of a computer,
camera, music and video players, and enhanced calling features like
video calling and conferencing.

The latest mobile phones
are increasingly segregated on basis of their 'specialization'
rather than the more traditional pricing and form. Most notable
categories among them are:
- Voice centric phones
- Camera phones
- Music phones
- Smart phones
- Business phones
These specialized latest phones are no longer limited
to niche pockets but have entered the mass market. Most sought
after features of a phone today is not its voice quality, but
its camera, closely followed by the media player. A high quality
2.0 megapixel camera is the norm. The day when camera phones will
completely overshadow the digital camera is not too far away.
Popularity of music phones too is eating into the total market
share of mp3 players.
These latest phones have also taken quite a few
giant steps forward in the field of connectivity. Any latest mobile
phone supports all four GSM bands apart from advanced networks
like UMTS and WCDMA 2100. Mobile Internet is no longer just an
entertaining feature like it was at the time of its introduction.
With latest 3G technology, we can achieve near broadband speed
while surfing the net. Remote connectivity through Bluetooth,
Infrared or USB is supported in almost all mobile phones today.
With the advancement of technology, software giants like Microsoft and Linux are making applications solely for mobiles. Working with documents and MS office files, editing pictures, videos and music, giving PowerPoint presentation - the latest breed of mobile devices are now competing with the computer itself.
