Mobile Phones Pay-as-you-go

A network is the system that controls radio signals relayed to and from your mobile phone. In this country there are 6 operators: T-Mobile, 02, Orange, Fresh, Virgin and Vodafone.

Choosing the right network is the first, and one of the most important decisions you must make when choosing a mobile phone. Each network claims about 99% coverage, but there will always be localised "black spots". Each network offers a large range of services that differ from operator to operator, so it's essential to choose a network that is relevant to your needs.

Indicates if the phone has a integrated digital camera.

Indicates the resolution or quality of the picture. A mega pixel is a million pixels where every pixel is a dot.

High Speed Downlink Packet Data Access is a mobile phone communications protocol. It makes it possible reach higher downloading speeds to your phone. In theory 10-20 Mbit/s. "Turbo 3G"

3G refers to the third generation of developments in wireless technology, especially mobile communications. The third generation, as its name suggests, follows the first generation (1G) and second generation (2G) in wireless communications. 3G includes capabilities and features such as:Enhanced multimedia (voice, data, video, and remote control). Usability on all popular modes (cellular telephone, e-mail, paging, fax, videoconferencing, and Web browsing). Broad bandwidth and high speed (upwards of 2 Mbps). Roaming capability throughout Europe, Japan, and North America.

The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a "constellation" of 24 well-spaced satellites that orbit the Earth and make it possible for people with ground receivers to pinpoint their geographic location. The location accuracy is anywhere from 100 to 10 meters for most equipment.

Indicates if the mobile phone has an inbuilt radio receiver allowing the user to listen to radio.

The standby time indicates how long the battery lasts before needing to be recharged. The advertised standby time applies if no calls are made. When you make a call the standby time decreases significantly since talk time consumes more power.

Talk time indicates how long you can talk on your phone before the battery needs recharging.

Some mobile phones have software which can play digital audio formats such as MP3 and WMA in essence making them MP3 players. The audio files are stored on external memory cards or on the phone's internal memory.

SAR measures the amount of radiation that is absorbed into a head while using a cellular phone, the higher the SAR-value the more radiation that is absorbed into the head. The lower the better. W/kg over 10 g tissue. Max value in EU, Japan etc is 2 W/kg. Below 0.5 is low, 0.5-1.0 is in the middle and over 1 is high.
When we state "0", we have not found any results from a SAR investigation.

A display screen that is sensitive to the touch of a finger or stylus. Touch screens are very resistant to harsh environments where keyboards might eventually fail. They are used with custom applications and on-screen buttons large enough to be pressed with the finger.
