A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone, and a hand phone) is a device that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the short range of a single, private base station.
In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones also support a wide variety of other services such as text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming and photography. Mobile phones that offer these and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.

Phone News this Week
- iPhone 5C: Faring badly with Chinese consumers
- Microsoft aquires Nokia (well, most of it)
- A worthy competitor to the Galaxy Note?
- HTC's failing fortunes cost around 30 jobs
- Android 4.4 named after Nestle chocolate bar
- Google fails and leaks Nexus 5 by accident
So this is basically a thread to discuss phones.
A couple questions to get started.
What do you think of the iPhone 5C and 5S?
Do you think BlackBerry will be able to turn its failing fortunes around?
Can Android fragmentation be fixed?
I personally dislike the new iPhones as being dull and unoriginal, think BlackBerry is doomed to fail and Android fragmentation is a problem where the cost outweighs the advantages.
So some new questions:
What do you think of Microsoft's new CEO?
How long do you think it'll take before BlackBerry goes poof?
Rhubarbs or strawberries?
