Resolution of the display for the system

The display technology. Flat screen technologies like Liquid Cristal Display (LCD) and Thin Film Transistor (TFT) active matrix technology are the trend. In TV technologies one can notice FST (Flat Screen Tube) technology, and ARASC (Anti Reflexion, Anti Static Coating) or AGARAS (Anti-Glare ARASC) or simply AGC (anti-glare coating). The old tv and screen technology CRT means Cathodic Ray Tube. MLA = Micro Lens Array. p-Si=Polycrystalline Silicon. a-Si=Amorphous Silicon.

Processor is the central unit in a computer containing the logic circuitry that performs the instructions of a computer's programs.

The amount of memory measured in megabytes installed in the system's hardware

MegaPixels: The number (in millions) of light-sensitive picture elements, or pixels, actually used by the camera's image sensor (CCD) to record light, and which are reflected to the final number of recorded pixels stored on the memory card.

Amount of data measured in pixels that the product captures to form the image

Interface ports to connect pieces of equipment. USB (Universal Serial Bus) has become the most popular wired interface to connect peripherals. USB 2.0 supports speeds up to 480 Mbit/s (USB 1: 12 Mbit/s). The interface FireWire is also known as the IEEE 1394 standard. Enhanced IDE (EIDE)is sometimes referred to as Fast ATA, Fast IDE or ATA-2.

The rate at which an electrical current alternates, usually measured in Hertz (Hz). Also the way to note a general location on the radio frequency spectrum such as 800 MHz, 900 MHz or 1900 MHz.

Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a new standard that is being defined for use in advanced wireless terminals. The service allows for non-real-time transmission of various kinds of multimedia contents like images, audio, video clips, etc.

Frequency-modulated (FM) radio gives the clearest reception of any radio band. When used with a headset, it delivers stereo-like sound.

Polyphonic ringing tones are played through a speaker rather than an ordinary buzzer, which means that you get vastly improved sound quality for melodious ringing tones, message alerts, and gaming sounds.

Weight of the product without packaging (nett weight). If possible, the nett weight is given including standard accessories and supplies. Please, note that sometimes the manufacturer is giving a too commercial interpretation of product weight, by leaving out the weight of accessories and/or supplies.

The total time a battery can power a phone for calls. As the phone drains the battery during a call, the talktime left in the battery is diminished until the phone is turned off or the battery recharged. The longer the talktime the less frequently you will need to recharge. Talktime, expressed in hours and minutes, is much shorter than standby time because transmission requires more power.

A data port that uses infra-red data association (irDA) as the standard for wireless communications between computer and mobile phone devices. For example, to update the phone list on your irDA-enabled PC, you would line up the infra-red ports on each device and then transfer the phone information to your PC. This is a wireless transfer, so you don't need a cable or extra software.

Bluetooth is a low-power radio technology developed to replace the cables and wires currently used to link or connect electronic devices such as personal computers, printers, and a wide variety of handheld devices including mobile phones. Because it uses radio-wave connectivity, a Bluetooth-enabled device has a constant, established connection to whatever browser it uses. This saves the user the trouble of logging on to check for emails or news updates, for example.

General Packet Radio Service is a wireless data transmission service based on packet transmission. For example, if an email is sent by GPRS it will be reduced into .packets. of information. Each individual packet travels to its destination by the quickest possible route. This means the different packets from the same mail can travel separately through foreign networks around the globe in order to avoid obstructions. At the pre-set destination they are rebuilt and presented to the recipient as a whole. GPRS offers instant access, and permanent connection between the mobile device and the network. With GPRS you only pay for information sent or received, rather than for connection time.
