Third and fourth generation mobile phones continue to advance technologically. Mobile phones now boast a wide variety of features outside of simply placing phone calls. These features all depend on the type of phone you own, and the service contract you enter into. Modern day mobile phones can send text messages, surf the Internet, download music, movies, documents, files, and more. Some phones allow you to play video games, while others have built-in GPS devices, allowing you to locate nearby restaurants, attractions, hotels and other points of interest. Mobile phones can also record live video and take photos. In short, the mobile phone has transformed from a simple calling device into a full-blown entertainment and information system.
