In this day and age, most everyone you know probably has a mobile phone of some sort. In many countries, even those in the developing world, the average person has at least one mobile phone – and why not? With all the convenience that a mobile phone offers, every person certainly can go about his daily activities with more ease. I still remember 10 years or so ago, when there were only a handful of people who had mobile phones. That was a time when pagers were still the “in” thing. Today, the face of the mobile communication industry has changed so much – one can do more with a mobile phone than simply make voice calls.

Quickly, each year, a new technology is developed in relation to mobile phone applications. When before, making voice calls was the major function of a mobile phone, today we have features such as text messaging, multimedia messaging, phone camera features, Walkman phones, and more. That is why I don’t find it particularly surprising that mobile phone manufacturers are now developing and releasing units which are capable of exploiting what a connection to the Internet can do. VOIP through mobile phones? Not a problem with the new Nokia 6300i phone. I am not a fan of Nokia, to be honest, but based on the review made by Cell Phone News, it seems pretty interesting. Here, read it for yourself:

Nokia has announced its new 6300i mobile phone with an integrated and easy-to-use VoIP client. The 6300i makes up for an ideal complement for connections from the home office. Users can store up to 2,000 VoIP,Home, and mobile numbers which can be listed side-by-side. A dedicated WLAN and VoIP symbols show the connection status and whether a phone call is using GSM network or VoIP. The Nokia 6300i is set for release by the second quarter of 2008 For around $272 you’ll get useful features such as; video 3GPP streaming, 2.0 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom, 30MB internal memory and 512 memory card with room for expansion. The 6300i also features Nokia maps, WidSets and Download, full screen view finder, music player support for mp3, AAC, MP4, AAC+, FM stereo radio, XHTML browsing over TCP/IP , GPRS/EDGE/HSCSD/CSD for browsing and as data modem, EDGE class 10; GPRS class 10 , OMA DRM version 2.0, WLAN, Bluetooth 2.0 , 2.5mm AV connector, High-speed Micro USB interface to PC. 2.0 “ TFT VGA display with 320×240 pixel resolution, the usual MMS/SMS and email messaging capabilities, and more. The Nokia 6300i sports a classic silver-gray look and weighs just 93g. The Nokia 6300i runs on S40 user interface with clear display for easy readability. It has side volume keys for easy adjustment and volume control. It is also packed an integrated handsfree speaker, loudspeaker for IHF, Xpress on audio messaging, voice commands and voice recording and speaker-independent name dialing. But of course what would probably make you buy the Nokia 6300i is its VoIP calling features.

They’re probably right.
