 I thought I would post this just to let you know that the mobile era of phones didn’t start in the last decade.
In fact, this particular phone was made in 1964, and there were 1.5 mobile phones made then. They were “rugged, shock-proof, vacuum-tubed rigs that used nearby radio waves, built so powerfully that car headlights dimmed when you talked”.
If you ask me, it looks like Maxwell Smart’s shoe. Imagine showing someone from the mid-sixties what our phones can do now!

 The US Patent and Trademark Office approved a patent that Apple filed in 2008 which can prevent users from sending or receiving “objectionable” text messages.
In other words, it is designed to prevent “sexting”. Here is what my Source says that it really does:
In one embodiment, the control application includes a parental control application. The parental control application evaluates whether or not the communication contains approved text based on, for example, objective ratings criteria or a user’s age or grade level, and, if unauthorized, prevents such text from being included in the text-based communication.
If the control contains unauthorized text, the control application may alert the user, the administrator or other designated individuals of the presence of such text. The control application may require the user to replace the unauthorized text or may automatically delete the text or the entire communication.
So is this going to be the end of texting? Perhaps on the iPhone. That, or iPhone users will find a way around it.

 I have often heard of people who put cellular phones or cameras on weather balloons in order to get photos from space. This ain’t the Balloon Boy app.
Luke and Max Geissbuhler attached an iPhone to a weather balloon for a 72 minute voyage for 100,000 feet. In case you are wondering, the iPhone didn’t take this photo, but a HD video camera. The iPhone was used for its GPS capability, and it was returned back safely from its trip through space.

 It may be an older model, but the Nokia 3555 does still bring some worthwhile features along to the table with it. It’s a bit of a surprise to see there’s still some punch in this, especially after seeing some potent ultramodern smart phones, but sometimes strange things come in the fashion you’d least expect.
The Nokia 3555 is a folder-style cell phone that offers a voice recorder, Bluetooth connectivity, microSD card slot, a phone book with sufficient capacity for a thousand entries, fax capability (which is a feature I don’t remember ever seeing before), mobile web, mobile email, support for Java applications, MP3 player, alarm clock, calendar, calculator, microUSB port, wireless download capability, a VGA camera, an included hands-free headset, and a battery that yields three hours of talk time on a single charge.
Now, you can see here that there’s a lot of trouble here, mostly owing to the fact that it’s an older phone. Many critical features are missing that, viewed against the cold light of day, are downright necessary and gravely limits the utility of the Nokia 3555. But then, I’ve never seen a phone with fax capability, and that’s a really unusual feature.
One unusual feature, however, is scarcely enough to make up for the panoply of missing features, and though the download capability is in there, it’s still pretty lightly-featured against bigger models of cell phone.
It may be old, and it may be a bit underpowered, but there’s still plenty to like about the Nokia 3555.
The Good
Unexpected fax feature
Downloadable features for added utility
The Bad
Poor camera
Poor battery life
Decided lack of onboard features
Score 5 / 10
