Today it is hard to imagine life without a cell phone. We can all think back on the original Star Trek series, and remember how cool it was for Captain Kirk to be communicating with his space ship personnel through a tiny flip top device held in his hand. That was a long time ago, and in the real world the cell phone has, indeed, experienced tremendous growth. The pace of growth is such that we use 1G, 2G, 3G, and now 4G terminology to describe the most up to date technology that is driving the new devices. What all these technologies have in common is the ability to send and receive all kinds of information much faster and in a variety of ways. These advances have made the cell phone much more than just a phone. These new cell phones are called smartphones and can perform a variety of functions.
The top performing cell phone and PDA combinations are the Apple iphone 4. It has good overall performance, but you cannot access data and voice at the same time; and there is no world wide roaming ability. The price range is $199 to $558.
