No one has ever imagined that one day technology will make the people dance on its tune. There was a time when farmers used to take the help of animals to irrigate their lands but then technology got in action and provided them an option, tractors, which was more effective and time saving.

Earlier, people had no other option but to either visit the person's house personally or send a letter in order to know the well being of their near and dear ones. This process used to consume a lot of time and money but then once again technology came for the rescue of mankind and gift them mobile phones as an alternate to the above mentioned tiresome process.

People whole heartedly welcomed this new technology and soon mobile phones forced wallets to share the pocket with them. This overwhelming response from the people encouraged a lot of companies to try their luck in the field of telecommunication but only a few of them managed to survive the cut throat competition while others perished.

The best feature of mobile phones, which gives it a certain edge over land line phones, is its mobility and size. One can easily carry this communication device any time anywhere unlike landlines which are connected with the main instrument through cables and this stops the people from carry it with them all the time. Apart from this there are many more properties which worked in favour of this product and played a huge role in the success of mobile phones which is also known as cell phones and handsets in common man's language.

It won't be wrong to say that today cell phones have become a status symbols. Such is the craze of costly cell phones that the more expensive phone you carry, the more financially sound you will be considered. But still there are people who don't want to be a part of this blind race and prefer to use this device for only making and receiving calls. Another reason that the people go for expensive handsets is that these phones have many more features than an ordinary phone.

Such phones are capable of giving you many more services than sending text messages and making voice calls. They allow the people to have the access of GPS navigation, music (MP3), video (MP4), good quality cameras, video calling facility, Infrared, Bluetooth, Wifi connectivity, instant messaging, e-mails and many more. Though it is not mandatory that one gets all these characteristics in a single phone but the chances of getting most of them in the latest mobile phones are quite good.

Like all other countries of the world, Indians too found it hard to keep themselves away from this latest technology communication device and with in a few years of its introduction, mobile phones in India became the most common product that could be seen with everybody no matter the person is from some upper class or lower class. One easily see this instrument in the hand of some businessman to some vegetable seller. But its quite correct that we Indians are very particular about buying new products and that is why prefer to compare mobile phones in the market before booking an order for the same.
