Mobile communications is such a vast term which opens a whole new world of technologies and interfaces and makes them portable. The convergence of technologies into a portable, wireless device has made mobile communications reach new heights. Placing a call or messaging is not the only way to communicate with people. The emergence of technologies like 3G has integrated technologies, products and services into aiming at making the user communication easier, thus opening up more and more options for communications.

With the world becoming a smaller place and businesses becoming integrated and interconnected, the mobile phones of today have started supporting various e-mailing interfaces to keep the user connected to his business. The e-mailing options have been made completely mobile by also allowing the user to attach files and documents he has worked upon in his Office and business applications, which are also installed onto his mobile. Technologies like GPRS, EDGE, and Bluetooth etc. have made wireless communication all the more easier and comfortable for the user. As if all these were not enough, the zeal to make the device more user-friendly introduced Wi-Fi enabled phones which can connect to the internet over the selected Wi-Fi hot spots. Even in India, Wi-Fi spots are being built in colleges, campuses, coffee shops and business parks. Thus the Wi-Fi enabled phones are the next in target for the users seeking to go with time.

India has the second largest mobile phone customer base in the world after China. Here the numbers of mobile phone users far outnumber fixed line phone users. Mobile communications in India has leapfrogged in the past 5-7 years with many operators vying for space in the market, each devising unique and ingenious ways to woo the consumer. Mobile phones are a rage in India. With free trade treaties with different countries, many smaller brands from obscure markets now fight for consumer space against the usual suspects like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Samsung. This fierce competition has brought down the prices of mobile phones drastically in the Indian market and thus making everyone mobile literate.

With the emergence of free SMS concept, the usage of mobile phones has taken a new meaning. Now more and more people are logging into web sites that offers free SMS services and optimizing their mobile spending strategies. These web sites provide the best SMS services to consumers, who are looking for a one stop shop for their communication needs. These SMS services can be used anywhere in the world and is also a wonderful worldwide SMS service integrated in a user friendly interface.

Entertainment too has been made wireless. Media communication is an ever growing sector. This growing media needs users to connect with them in the easiest possible manner for they are dependent on the users and vice-versa. Thus we have phones in India which have dedicated applications of downloading and listening to online music. Even gamers can now connect to a gaming portal and play with different users through their mobiles. Live TV has been introduced into the phones, to bring the latest news, happenings and your favorite programs right into a customer’s hands, at the click of a button and all this being on the go.

Recently Nokia N97 hits the market and there are different views about Nokia N97. Handling the N97 for the first time I was impressed with the build quality. The phone felt very rugged/sturdy and although quite a tall device it sat nicely in the hand. The menu, camera and volume buttons are made of metal and are all raised from the plastic casing making using them a pleasure. The send and end keys are both touch sensitive and very responsive. As the screen can be locked this sensitivity is not an issue. What is an issue however is the lock/unlock button. It is a sliding plastic button on the left side of the device and using it is extremely awkward. When using the phone one handed I cannot find a way to unlock the screen that feels natural.
The Nokia N97 is a nicely designed phone. The design is agreeable to look at, and the build quality is good, except maybe for the battery cover which has a plastic feel - but it needs to be flexible because it's *removable*. The display is a mixed bag: it has a resolution of 640x360 but the colors seem a little faded and the clarity seems inferior to other touch phones. I suspect that one of the display layers has something to do with this. Two people that I've shown the phone to immediately made the same remark as well.
Anyway the main thing that I check is how good the sound quality is, and how easy it is to dial a number or a contact. The good news is that the sound quality is good, although the volume is not very loud. It would be nice to have a more powerful sound output.
Dialing a number is quick and relatively efficient. There's no need to use the physical keyboard as the virtual numeric pad works great and there was no typo whatsoever while dialing numbers and the good thing is that it supports almost all the apps which I loved the most especially Vopium
Vopium is a FREE VoIP software program installed on your mobile phone.
