It’s going to be difficult to talk about cool cell phones as I believe that choosing the right phone was a matter of taste and budget. However, one cool cell phone is without a doubt the Apple iPhone 3GS. Released back in 2009, this phone has quickly become the must-have of every tech passionate. The dimensions of this cell phone are 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm. I bet you wonder what was all the fuss around the launching date of this phone. This phone is revolutionary as the list of things you could use it for is endless. It’s somewhat a combination between a netbook and a cell phone as you can use it to make and receive calls, text messages, multimedia messages, play games, check the weather, send e-mail, read the online newspaper, translate words from one language to another and a lot of other things.

With 135 g in weight, this is the most portable minicomputer that you could ever buy. The 320 x 480 pixels display is only 3.5 inches in diagonal and it is touch sensitive. It has an accelerometer sensor which auto rotates the image whenever it’s necessary. The surface is scratch resistant but you should buy a special case for the phone anyway. If the display is damaged, the phone becomes useless. It has a proximity sensor for automatic turn-off. It vibrates and it uses MP3 alert tones just like most new cell phones on the market. The phonebook can practically support unlimited entries and fields and you can set up a caller ID picture for every person in your phonebook. The phone’s memory remembers the last 100 received, missed and dialed calls. The phone has a storage capacity of either 16 GB or 32 GB depending on the model that you choose and it also has 256 MB of RAM memory.

Since there is a lot of internal memory, there is practically no need for a card slot or for any type of external memory. The phone has a wireless card so you can connect to wireless connections and hot spots. The photo camera has a 3.15 MP resolution and it can take picture with 2048 x 1536 pixels so you can imagine the quality of the images. The camera also has autofocus so you can take pictures when you are in movement. The iPhone has its very own operating system, based on that of the Mac OS. It uses the Safari internet browser and it even has a 600 MHz ARM Cortez processor.



There is no radio and all the games that you want to play have to be downloaded. You can use cool features like Google Maps, digital compass and even a TV out. In standby, this phone can stay on for about 300 h and you can talk about 5 continuous hours on the 3G model. The iPhone is available in white and black which is pretty surprising since Apple is known for selling its gadgets in all sorts of different colors. And if you want to listen to music, the phone can provide another 30 hours for that activity as well.
