What can you do with 3G on your mobile phone
3G services are available in Delhi today and it is going to be available this year throughout India
So what does 3G mean to you ? and what can you do with it on your mobile phone to enhance your mobile experience
First lets define 3G
3G Stands for 3rd-generation. 3G is loosely defined, but generally includes high data speeds, always-on data access, and greater voice capacity. The high data speeds are possibly the most prominent feature, and certainly the most hyped. They enable such advanced features as live, streaming video. There are several different 3G technology standards. The most prevalent is UMTS, which is based on WCDMA. (WCDMA and UMTS are often used interchangeably.) UMTS is the 3G technology of choice for most GSM carriers. The other major standard is cdma2000, which is an evolution of CDMA 2G technology. There are several types of cdma2000, each offering different data rates and levels of compatibility with 2G CDMA.
Video Streaming that actually works
Video Streaming is possible even over GPRS or EDGE but its very slow.
You will be able to watch a Cricket match Live on the road with live video and audio
Video Calling
Have you ever wondered why there is an additional camera above the display in some phones ?
The camera is meant to be used for Video Calling .. You can actually see the other person face to face and talk.
Faster Downloads and Browsing
As you can see in the picture above .. When i tested 3G , the speeds i was getting was in the range of 300 -500 kbps .. which is the kind of speed we get on a broadband connection at home 
So you can do hi speed browsing on the go
But one downside to all of this is that battery life is comparetively shorter for most phones on 3G networks.
what else you can think of doing on a hi speed internet connection on your mobile ?

Lost your mobile phone what can you do
Mobile phone theft is very high in India
We often get emails and message from users telling ” I have lost my mobile phone today what can I do ? ”
The sad truth is that you can’t do much after you have lost the phone.
You can block the phone number and phone with your Operator like Airtel or Vodafone by providing your IMEI number which is a unique serial number for each mobile phone.
It must be present in your bill if you purchased the phone from a shop
But thieves swap SIM cards the moment they steal the phone .. So your number wont be active anymore.
You can make use of mobile theft tracker like the bpl tracker
or more advanced applications which are available today .. Continue reading “Lost your mobile phone what can you do”
