When it comes to mobile phones, the ones that people are going for nowadays are smartphones. A smartphone has the basic functions of a mobile phone like making and receiving calls, sending and receiving text messages, voicemail capability, among other things but with added functions. Some of the added functions that make smartphones famous are playing and recording high definition videos, playing music, and connecting to the Internet either via cellular network or 3G network or local Wi-Fi access. Another great thing about smartphones is that you can personalize the phone just the way you like it by installing applications.
