Different brands of mobile phones are flooded in the market, but still Samsung has maintained its position very successfully. The handsets provided by this brand are outstanding in terms of functionality and features. Awesome designs and looks have supported its mobile phones to reach to a standard level. All the handsets provided by this manufacturer are unique and different from one another. There are many competitors of this firm, such as Motorola, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, LG etc. Although there is a tough competition between these providers, Samsung has its own handsets competing with each other. For instance , Samsung i7500 and Samsung D980 are two magnificent gadgets, engaged in superiority war against each other.

The Samsung i7500 has the dimensions of 115.9 * 56 * 11.9 mm, and this 3G network
phone weighs only 116.7 grams. On the other hand, the Samsung D980 weighs 117 grams and has the dimensions of 97.5 * 55 * 16.3 mm, which is slightly heavier than the above mentioned device. The battery backup of the i7500 offers standby time upto 450 hours in 2G & 340 hours in 3G, and talktime upto 9 hours 20 minutes in 2G & 6 hours 10 minutes in 3G. In the contrast, the D980 battery supports standby time upto 200 hours and talktime upto 3 hours, which is less than the other model.

On comparing the memory capability of these two handsets, one would find that the Samsung i7500's internal memory is composed of 8 GB with 128 MB RAM that could be extended upto 16 GB with MicroStick card. Whereas, the Samsung D980's internal memory consists of 45 MB, which could be increased upto 2 GB only. In this war between both, we would find something common, and that is the inbuilt camera. Both have 5 mega pixel camera with autofocus and LED flash, which is capable of capturing images of 2592 * 1944 pixels resolution. But i7500 has an additional feature of Geo-tagging, which makes it more advanced than the other.

Both the handsets have fast connectivity and fast paced Internet browsing facilities. But i7500 has certainly more options for data transfer and connectivity. Other applications like messaging, call record, organizer etc. are available in both the handsets. For music lovers, both offer MP3 player and MP4 player, but D980 has something additional, and that is FM radio. These handsets are enabled with touchscreens, and they have different features. I7500 has 3.2 inches AMOLED capacitive screen with accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate, which supports 16 million colors display. On the other hand, D980 has 2.6 inches TFT resistive screen, which supports 256 thousand colors display. So, there is no doubt that the first one is better in terms of display.

Samsung i7500 and Samsung D980, both are competent handsets in their own way. It becomes difficult to assess, which handset is better or superior to the other. All necessary features and applications are provided with these handsets, depending on the user's requirements.

Have you ever had the unfortunate experience of having your mobile phone or handheld device stolen ? Have you ever misplaced or lost your mobile phone ? Are you worried that something like this could happen to you ?

Well, it has happened to me, when I absentmindedly left my mobile phone on the table of the train seat I had been using during a train journey recently. However, I managed to retrieve my phone (see how further down) and breathed a big sigh of relief as it had lots of things on there that I use in my work everyday (i.e. contacts, emails, SMS message etc), and also family photographs and a video of a birthday celebration that I had not had chance to upload to my laptop at that stage.

You can imagine the panic striken feelings I went through when I first realised that my mobile phone had gone missing, and believe me, you do not ever want to find yourself in that same situation. I can vouch for it, it is not a pleasant experience. I believe that I am not alone in keeping so much of my life and work on my mobile phone. It is just so handy and useful to have the information at my fingertips as I go about my daily business. It never really crossed my mind what I would do should the phone go missing.

My Mobile Security Software Rescued Me

Getting my phone back was down to a mixture of two things - information and software technology. Information, in that I had read up on mobile security software products previously, and when I purchased my latest phone decided to invest in some software protection, especially as the relative cost when compared to a new phone was very low. In addition, I couldn't put a price on the contents of my phone. Software technology in that I purchased and installed a copy of Kaspersky's Mobile Security software, which in addition to securing my phone against internet threats like malware and spam, has excellent anti-theft features.

Kaspersky Mobile Security Anti-Theft features

The Anti-Theft feature of Kaspersky Mobile Security is designed to ensure the protection of data stored on a mobile device against unauthorized access to it in case the device was lost or stolen.

The component includes the following functions:

MS-Block - allows blocking of the device at the user's discretion.

SMS-Clean - allows you to erase personal data (all contacts, messages, gallery, calendar, log, network connection settings), and data from the storage card and files from folder C:Data.

SIM-Watch - allows you to send to the specified phone number and/or to an e-mail address, the new phone number and to block the stolen device if the SIM card was replaced or the device was turned on without it.

SMS-Find - allows you to determine the geographical coordinates of the device and to send them to the requesting devices or to a certain e-mail address using an SMS message. This function only works with devices with in-built GPS receiver.

Stealth SMS - allows you to erase personal data from the device, block it and obtain its geographical coordinates using a special SMS message.

Using the SMS-Find feature, I was able to track down and retrieve my mobile phone. How great is that ? You can see how useful this software is, and in my opinion is much better than any mobile phone insurance you could have.

For those of us who have children that use a mobile phone, the Kaspersky Mobile Security software also comes with a Parental Control feature too. This can be used in addition with the SMS-Find feature to keep a caring eye on your young ones. Very useful if they have gone out and are long overdue in returning, and I dare say a multitude of other uses may spring to a parents mind - just great "piece of mind" stuff from Kaspersky.

Don't Leave It Until It Happens To You

When I look back on the incident now, I am forever thankful that I not only took the time to read about mobile security software, but that I purchased it and installed it on my phone. In fact, all the family now have it on their phones too. I can't describe how much "piece of mind" it gives you to know that there are steps you can take to not only secure your phone should something untoward happen, but to also have the facility to locate it's whereabouts and get it back.

My experience is something I wouldn't wish on anyone, and I encourage you to take the same steps I did and get your mobile phone protected sooner rather than later. As the old saying goes "better to be safe than sorry" - in this instance, never was a truer word spoken!

Nowadays, cellular phone is an important part in our lives. It helps us to communicate with the world, wherever and in any time. never the less, in order to protect their own privacy, many people make their phone numbers private or not published. That makes it very difficult to find the owner of a cell you don't recognize.

If you have a cell phone you probably love the magic and all of the other attribute it provides. Being able to call your friends and family members, whenever and in any place you are, is truly stunning.

When you turn on your cellular phone, your cell searches for a signal in order to confirm that there is an available service in your area. If network is available, your cellular transmits certain identification numbers so that the network can verify your specificcustomer information including your cell provider and mobile phone number, etc.

When your cellular phone is on, it "talks" with the antenna that is closest to you at all times, even when you are not chattering, so that it is able to hook up your call at any given time.

If you are making a call to a land phone from you cellular phone, your call travels via a antennathat is close in proximity, and is switched by your network provider to the traditionalwired phonesystem. Your call then becomes like all other standard phone calls and is routed over the traditional telephone network to the person you arecalling.
