| by Shayne Rana
For those familiar with the terms but not their meaning, this should help you to better understand Mobile Phone jargon when you see it.

For the Noob mobile phone user or even those who’ve seen the jargon making the rounds but couldn’t really understand what they meant, here’s a quick guide to the most commonly used abbreviations and terminology used in the mobile phone segment. Donut - Version 1.6 Bluetooth – A wireless method of communion between devices for either data transfer or remote access and control.
CDMA - Code division multiple access is another form of mobile/cellular technology that allows users to use the entire spectrum of frequencies available that are capable of providing better sound and data communication. Some CDMA handsets have built in SIM cards, so specific handset models have been designed for this technology. The range of mobile handsets available with CDMA, are a little more limited as compared to GSM. CDMA is a military technology first used during World War II by English allies to foil German attempts at jamming transmissions.
EDGE - Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution can also be called EGPRS or Enhanced GPRS and means exactly what it states. It’s one step above GPRS and provides for a little faster browsing and data transfer speeds. |
