There are millions of people who are known amongst their peers for the rough handling of their phones, such as dropping them on the floor or even water. Such acts can spell disaster for Smartphones, with the damage to the touch-sensitive screen being the biggest concern for all users. Now, Motorola has launched a Smartphone, Defy, which can battle the elements – namely water, impact and dust – to considerable extent with utmost easy. Certainly, Motorola Defy will have a huge following the times to come.

Motorola Defy

Motorola Defy sports a 3.7” capacitive touchscreen that is graced with four feather-touch keys placed on the bottom. The phone is extremely tough and covered completely so that no dust or water can enter the body, thereby providing the basis for water-resistant and dust-proof. The claim of impact-proof is not official, but tests have shown that it can withstand general falls better as compared to other Smartphones. And, Corning’s Gorilla Glass Display provides it the tough screen that is scratchproof, thereby making it ideal for those who are prominent rough users of phones. This phone is secured by screws from the sides, and the micro-USB and 3.5mm headphone jack are covered by rubber flaps to disallow entry of water. The rubbery-plastic used on the back does not allow the water to stick to the body, thereby providing extra water-resistance, and the back-flap is, obviously, tightly closed.

Now, coming to the specifications, this phone runs on Android 2.1 OS, with a 2.2 update scheduled for Q2 2011. This ergonomically designed phone can be availed in white or black color at a price of Rs. 17,000 across India. The 5MP camera with autofocus and flash is not the best feature of the phone, just like the absence of a front camera. But, the responsive screen, fast 800MhZ processor, EDGE, GPRS, 3G, Bluetooth v2.1, Wi-Fi and 1540mAh Li-Po battery do justice to the price tag.

The bottom line is that though there are various other phones available with similar or better features, there will be none as sturdy and reliable as this one, especially with an Android Froyo OS.

GSM Mobile Phone

GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communications. It is the most popular standard for digital cellular phones in the world. It has a very strong presence in Europe.

Over the last decade, GSM has been the backbone of the phenomenal success in mobile telecoms which continues to evolve to meet new demands. Its great strength is its international roaming capability which gives consumers a wonderful service in about 160 countries.

It is sold as “the latest technology” in many countries; this technology is older than CDMA. The two major advantages from this technology are fraud prevention and roaming readiness.

Know about History of GSM Technology

Analog cellular telephone systems were experiencing growth in Europe during the early 1980s, but also in France and Germany. Every country had developed its own system, which was incompatible with everyone else’s in operation and equipment.

In 1982, European Posts and Telegraphs (CEPT) formed a study group called as the Group Special Mobile (GSM) to study and to develop a pan-European public land mobile system. The system had certain criteria:

• Low terminal and service cost
• Good subjective speech quality
• Support for international roaming
• Support for range of new services and facilities
• Ability to support handheld terminals
• ISDN compatibility
• Spectral efficiency

GSM specification’s Phase I were published in 1990. In mid-1991, Commercial service was started and there were 36 GSM networks in 22 countries by 1993. Over 200 GSM networks are operational in 110 countries around the world. In 1994, there were 1.3 million subscribers worldwide, which had grown to more than 55 million by October 1997.

Various Services provided by GSM

• Telecommunication services can be divided into teleservices, bearer services and supplementary services using the ITU-T definitions.
• Telephony is the most basic teleservices supported by GSM.
• There is an emergency service, where the nearest emergency-service provider is notified by dialing three digits (similar to 911).
• A variety of data services is offered. Its users can send and receive data, at rates up to 9600 bps, to users on ISDN, Plain Old Telephone Service, Circuit Switched Public Data Networks and Packet Switched Public Data Networks using a variety of methods and protocols like X.25 or X.32.
• Data services include Group 3 facsimile, in ITU-T recommendation T.30, supported by use of an appropriate fax adaptor.
• A unique feature of GSM is the Short Message Service (SMS) for short alphanumeric (up to 160 bytes) messages. Messages can also be stored in the SIM card for later retrieval.

So, this is all about GSM technology. But we will also discuss later that GSM is good or CDMA?
