Camera Phones are slowly replacing the tranditional Digital Camera. Grainy low-quality images from phones are a thing of the past. Its now easier than ever to take good quality photos and make a telephone call from a single device.

Most of the latest mobiles come packed with features to ensure you get the best possible picture including Zenon flash allowing photos to be taken in a low light such as Nightclubs or Pubs. However because of the size of mobile phones they are never going to be able to squash all the technology that is available in a traditional Digital Camera. For the occasional picture they are the ideal solution.

Take a look through our selection of 5 Mega Pixel and 8 Mega Pixel camera phones which are all worth reviewing before making a choice! Selected contracts also come with incentives such as Cash Backs, Console Games, GPS and others.

GPRS

Stands for General Packet Radio System. This basically allows you to browse internet websites using your phone. GPRS is mainly used for text based information - getting football results, checking train timetables, reading the news etc. GPRS is not bad at downloading pictures, however it is slower than 3G.  You can use GPRS to received and send Multimedia messages such as a text with a picture.

It is advisable to choose a 3G handset for decent download speeds of videos and pictures rather than GPRS, however GPRS is pretty good for text based information and pictures with lower definition.

GPS navigation system

Sofware that interacts with the Global Positioning Satellite system for pin-point route-finding anywhere in over 100 countries.

Internet

You can browse the Internet using your phone. The speed of browsing is dependent on the handset in question for example if the phone is 3G then your browsing speed will be significantly higher than a GPRS phone.

Memory expandable via MicroSD card

MP3 Player

Works in a similar fashion to normal MP3 players in that you can upload Music onto the phone's memory or onto an external memory stick (size of memory slot dependent on phone).
