If you Lose your mobile often Micro Mobile Controller might be your saviour

If you have been at the receiving end of a scheming, lowly mobile phone thief or snatcher, you are probably upset more at the loss of crucial data. For all of us know, we can replace a handset, but how the heck do we replace our precious store house of information, phone numbers etc?

The Micro Mobile Controller System will help you to remotely manage your lost mobile handset. The solution creates a backup of all contact details even after the loss of a mobile handset.

Worlds Most Expensive Mobile Phones

So we sat down to catch up a little and ordered a Tazo Chai Tea Latte. After a while playing with the sexy slider we started to talk on what the most expensive or the costliest phones would be like. So I took out my N95 8GB and searched along sipping my Chai to find out the answer. Well for now we know what they look like and how much they are but the stats are a bit old and if you guys know what the latest is please put in the missing pieces. Till then you can take a look below at the worlds most costliest mobile devices.
