Quote:Tips on (Real) Cool Uses for Your Cellular Phone
OK, already. We did some obviously overdue research into unlocking your cell phones secret powers, and as it happens most of you who posted comments were right four out of five tips were in fact myths - which found their source in an email that was spammed around some time ago; all except the 122 emergency number, which really does work in some places. So, we are sorry for celling out. We should have done our homework. To make amends, we have compiled a new list of cool things mobile phones really CAN do.
1. Figure Out Where You Are - Almost ANY phone with Bluetooth can be used for GPS. You just have to connect to a Bluetooth GPS receiver, a small box that connects wirelessly to your cell phone. It also comes with software that lets you view maps and get directions on your phone.
2. Surf the Web (for Free!) - Around the world there are thousands of WiFi spots that are open to free browsing. Everyone knows you can access them on your notebook, but did you know you could get to them on some cell phones too? The T-Mobile SDA or T-Mobile MDA can do this with the greatest of ease.
