3G Technology
3G technology is now becoming standard in most mobile phones. We can now browse the internet at much faster speeds than a year or two ago and you can imagine it will only improve in the near future. Mobile phone technology is one of the fastest growing of all electronic parts. We’ve become accustomed to the many features that are now standard on mobile phones. If you sit and think for a moment how much a mobile phone can do, all packed into a small rectangular shaped device, it’s truly astounding.
3G technology is a vast improvement from 2G technology. Firstly, 3G allows you to view web pages and download information very quickly compared to its earlier predecessor. Depending on your signal, you can download as fast as 144 kbps which is amazing. Almost every major mobile phone brand now uses 3G in most of their product range. A few examples of mobiles that use 3G include: the Apple iPhone, the Blackberry Storm 9500, The LG GC9000 Viewty, the Nokia N97 and the HTC Hero.
You can do everything at much faster speeds than before like downloading data or playing 3D video games. Browsing the internet with 2G technology used to be somewhat labourious but with 3G it’s like going from dial up to broadband, there really is no comparison. With so many mobile manufacturers offering 3G in many of their handsets, consumers really do benefit. If 3G is now, I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
