 EDGE: is an acronym for Enhanced Data rates for GSM of Evolution ( Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) . Also known as EGPRS (Enhanced GPRS). It is a mobile phone technology cell , which acts as a bridge between 2G and 3G networks . EDGE is considered an evolution of GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). This technology works with GSM networks . Although EDGE works with any GSM GPRS have implemented , the operator must implement the necessary updates , and not all mobile phones support this technology .

SMS: Short Message Service or SMS (Short Message Service) is a service available on mobile phones that permits the sending of short messages ( also known as text messages , or more colloquially , texts or text messages ) between mobile phones .

 Symian: is an operating system that was the result of the alliance of several mobile phone companies , among which include Nokia , Sony Ericsson , Samsung , Siemens , Arima , BenQ , Fujitsu , Lenovo , LG , Motorola , Mitsubishi Electric , Panasonic , Sharp , etc. . Its origins come from his ancestor EPOC32 used in PDA 's and Handhelds Psion .

  

JAVA: Java™ technology is a programming language and software platform that can run on multiple operating systems . Nokia supports Java technology standardization , led by JCP (Java Community Process ) to avoid fragmentation. Consequently , applications created with the application programming interface in Java work on all Nokia phones, and other phones compatible with the technology , and provide an open platform to developers. Example applications would be: games , calculator , translator , currency converter , etc. .

          

Connectivity : The ability of a device ( a PC , peripheral , PDA , mobile, etc. . ) Of being connected (usually a PC or other device) without the need for a computer , ie independently. The mechanisms are known Connectivity : USB Cable - Infrared - Bluetooth

      

  

Bluetooth: As a new technology for wireless connectivity , Bluetooth eliminates cables used to connect digital devices . Based on a radio link short range and low cost, this technology can connect multiple types of devices wirelessly , providing greater freedom of movement. And , in the end , is that treating mobility.
