  Mobile phone - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
A mobile phone, also known as a cellphone, mobile, or handphone, is an electronic telecommunications device with the same basic capability as a conventional fixed line telephone, but which is also entirely portable and is not required to be connected with a wire to the telephone network.
Mobile phones are also distinct from cordless telephones, which generally operate only within a limited range of a specific base station.
Professional mobile radio systems are very similar to cellphone systems and attempts have even been made to use TETRA, the international digital PMR standard, to implement public mobile networks, but normally PMR systems are sufficiently separate from the phone network to not really be considered phones but rather radios.

While most people think of their mobile telephone handsets as just convenient telephony devices and others use the handset for simple e-mail access, the platform may be the next major battleground for computing.
For cellular operators, mobile Linux is a potential avenue for converging the number of mobile platforms they must support, by reducing the total number of mobile OS platforms in their product portfolio as well as by having more models based on the same OS.

 VisionMobile Forum :: Operators: service-pipes or bit-pipes ?
My thesis is that operators should re-evaluate their strategies, not in the context of the one-sided market, but in the context of a two-sided market, where value flows both from the left and right of the chain.
One of the most memorable milestones in mobile operator history was around 2002 when most tier-1 MNOs got jealous of Orange’s success and thought they should have national colours and buy lots of paint buckets to dress up their portals, handsets and everything else.
Operators should offer these platform constituents to all service providers (big and small), all advertisers and all consumers, and let the killer app, brand, supermarket, segmentation, branded handset, content and service be figured out by someone else.

Operators attempt to know what is best for their consumers rather then allowing the consumers the freedom of choice to make their own purchse decisions.
