| Standard Battery Features | |
Standard Battery Type What it means? There are three types of batteries available in the market today: Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) and Lithium Polymer. Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer batteries are known to be superior in quality. Lithium Polymer is even slimmer (thinner) and lighter than the Li-Ion battery. Benefits Lithium batteries are generally preferred over NiMH batteries as they are lighter and have a larger power capacity. The most important feature of Lithium batteries is that they can be recharged as many times as possible without its capacity reducing (due to memory effect, which reduces the capacity of NiMH batteries over a period of time, if you charge the battery without discharging it completely). To reduce memory effect in NiMH batteries, you must charge the battery only when the power is depleted completely. | Lithium-Ion |

This is basically an interface meeting the Bluetooth standard. For e.g. a laptop with a Bluetooth connectivity can communicate with the mobile phone with bluetooth capability within its range. Benefits In Bluetooth one doesn’t have to make a line of contact between the ports of the two devices like infrared as it works on a wireless frequency and works on a frequency which is fixed for bluetooth enabled devices. | |

GPRS is the perfect bearer for many kinds of applications: Multimedia Messaging, Imaging and Internet Browsing. How it works? GPRS facilitates instant connections by utilising packet switching technology where information is transmitted in short bursts of data over an IP-based network. All your information can be sent or received immediately as the need arises at a higher transmission speed. No dial-up modem connection is necessary. This is why GPRS users are sometimes referred to be as being "always connected". Benefits GPRS facilitates several new applications that have not previously been available over GSM networks due to the limitations in speed of Circuit Switched Data (9.6 kbps) and message length of the Short Message Service (160 characters). GPRS will fully enable the Internet applications you are used to on your desktop like web browsing, email, chat, telnet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) over the mobile network. | |

Additionally, in the future moving images, cartoons and interactive video will also be supported by MMS. How it works? MMS messages can be sent either to another MMS-enabled mobile phone or to an e-mail address. Photos, sound and video clips can also be downloaded to your phone from WAP sites, transferred to the phone via an attached accessory, such as a digital camera, or received in an MMS message. Your MMS enabled mobile phone can also store it for later use. Multimedia messaging is dependent on GPRS. The existing GSM networks need an MMS-C (Multimedia Messaging Service Centre) to support multimedia messaging. Benefits MMS will add colourful images, animations and sound clips to your messages. | |
