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.

Also known as "videophone", or "video conferencing", this feature lets two people with 3G video phones talk to each other while viewing 2-way live video of each other.Some phones with this feature have a camera that rotates or swivels, so it can face the user for video calling, and face "out" for taking photos. Other phones have two cameras - one facing in and one facing out.This feature requires a 3G network that specifically supports video calling. It will only work when the phone is in range of such a network. Both phones must also support video calling - not all 3G phones do.

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

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.

A high-level programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. Java was originally called OAK, and was designed for handheld devices and set-top boxes. Oak was unsuccessful so in 1995 Sun changed the name to Java and modified the language to take advantage of the Internet. In mobile phones, Java is used to create games and other specialized applications.

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

Indicates if the mobile phone has a built in camcorder for recording and viewing video sequencies.

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.

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.

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"

Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) is an adaptation of the Short Message Service (SMS) that allows users to send and receive ring tones and operator logos, as well as combinations of simple media to and from EMS-compliant handsets. Because EMS is based on SMS, it can use SMS Centers (SMSCs) the same way that SMS does. EMS works on all Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) networks. If a message is sent to a phone that is not EMS-capable, the recipient will still receive the text portion of the message.

Multimedia Messaging Service, MMS, let's you exchange multimedia messages such as graphical postcards, animations, video clips, maps and business cards.

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.

High-Speed Circuit Switched Data. A high-speed data technology for GSM networks. An alternative to GPRS. Adopted mostly in Europe. No GSM networks in North America support HSCSD.

WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) allows you to surf the Internet with your mobile phone, although in a reduced form. Services are limited at the moment, but news, weather, sport, financial data and other information are all available. More services will be made available as wireless technology improves.

EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment) is a faster version the Global System for Mobile (GSM) wireless service designed to deliver data at rates up to 384 Kbps and enable the delivery of multimedia and other broadband applications to mobile phone and computer users. The EDGE standard is built on the existing GSM standard, using the same time-division multiple access (TDMA) frame structure and existing cell arrangements. Ericsson notes that its base stations can be updated with software. EDGE became commercially available in 2001. It is regarded as an evolutionary standard on the way to Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS).

Indicates if the mobile phone is foldable.

Bluetooth enables wireless communication between your phone and other devices with Bluetooth, such as a laptop or a headset. Developed by Ericsson Inc., Intel Corp., Nokia Corp. and Toshiba.

IrDA means that the phone can transmit data using infrared. This can be used for gaming with two players, or receiving data, etc.

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.

The Network Band says whether the phone is Tri, Dual or Quad Band, and which frequencies it works on. Generally you would use a Tri Band handset for the USA. If you need the phone for travel you should check which frequency the country uses before deciding on Tri, Dual or Quad Band.

Indicates the number of names and telephone numbers that can be stored in the phone. Much more information can be stored on your SIM card, but the storage capacity will vary from network to network.

External memory cards can be used to store music, movies, pictures and other files.

This is the size of the internal memory.

Weight in grams with standard battery.

Specifies the height x width x depth of the phone. With modern technology phones have become more compact.
