	Telephone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because of the power required to transmit to the handset, the base station is powered with an electronic power supply.
		When a handset gets too far from a cell site, a computer system commands the handset and a closer cell site to take up the communications on a different channel without interrupting the call.
		The modern handset came into existence when a Swedish lineman tied a microphone and earphone to a stick so he could keep a hand free.

	TheFeature :: It's All About The Mobile Internet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Issues about handset locking pop up from time to time, generally from consumer groups looking to have the practice outlawed.
		It's not a clearly cut issue; operators argue that handset locks are necessary to protect the subsidies they pay out to reduce the prices consumers pay for handsets -- but this day and age of 1- or 2-year contracts with sky-high early termination fees, the practice seems redundant.
		Handset locking is an attempt to reduce churn by forcing customers to stay with a carrier to keep their device -- but in a market without such artificial loyalty mechanisms, wouldn't operators be forced to operate on much more valuable metrics, like, say, customer service and pricing?

		To set up the 2400 handset, we followed the quick reference guide to insert the batteries, plug in the charger, and register the handset with the base system.
		In addition, the handset design includes headset jacks for hands-free use; however, the handset's light weight and slim profile make it more comfortable to hold than any cordless phone we've tested.
		The sound quality was static- and interference-free until about 130 feet from the base, where the signal began to break; the signal broke up significantly at 420 feet, and the handset became unusable at 530 feet.

	Portable Wi-Fi Handset features 80 hr standby time., UTStarcom
		UTStarcom's F1000 Wi-Fi handset untethers consumers from their traditional phone lines, allowing them to make calls from anywhere there is a Wi-Fi hot spot -- at home, at work, around the town; in airports, coffee shops, and hotels; and even internationally.
		The F1000 handset, which has received U.S. regulatory approval, provides all the features and functionality of a VoIP terminal adapter together with a standard cordless telephone, but has the advantage of letting the user talk from any available Wi-Fi access point instead of just the base that they have at home.
		UTStarcom expects that the major markets for the F1000 Wi-Fi portable handset will be North and South America, where many consumers already have Wi-Fi capability bundled into their home computers and can use the handset without having to purchase more equipment.

	\| ARCchart \| Blueprint : Rise of the handset ODMs
		While this approach still suits Nokia, which controls 38 percent of the global handset market and still seems able to extract decent margins, the economics of the vertical model no longer makes sense for the other vendors with a smaller share of the market.
		Commoditisation of the cellular handset has brought with it an influx of new competitors, most of them emanating from the East.
		About 8 percent of handsets shipped in 2002 where made by ODMs and, according to Northstream, the ODM share of the total handset market is estimated to grow to beyond 40 percent by 2005.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Full length films - coming to a handset near you
		Mobile phone owners are being targeted by a company that has developed technology allowing them to watch full-length films and TV shows on their handsets.
		The technology makes use of the card slot that mobile phone manufacturers have recently begun adding to their handsets as a means of storing music and photos.
		Because the content is stored on the card and not transmitted over the phone network, customers can watch the shows as many times as they like and are not thwarted by the lack of a phone signal.

	CSD Magazine - July, 1998 - GSM Handset Vulnerabilities, Part I: RF Performance
		However, preparation of the handset for type approval is essential for the successful introduction of a handset to the marketplace.
		A majority of operational areas of the handset can be tested, yet problems still tend to remain undetected in the area of RF performance and Layer 1 operation (which is primarily responsible for managing the radio interface).
		While the handset is in a call, burst timing for each transmission is difficult to measure since economical in-house testing cannot mimic the FTA system test.
