Paving The Way For Unlocked Cell Phones by Paul Wise
Unlocked Cell Phones are a growing trend and a popular concept in the cell phone industry. Google has just released their first phone, made by HTC, and they are going the Unlocked Cellular Phones route to sell it. That's right, the Nexus One will be sold separately from the service providers allowing you, the user, to decide where you want to get your phone service from.

See, essentially unlocked cell phones means that the phones are sold with no strings attached. There are no contracts, no penalties for cancelling your service, there's nothing. You buy the phone, you own the phone, you decide what kind of service you want for the phone. Unlocked cellular phones are the truest form of liberation for consumers, when speaking in terms of technology, namely, cell phones. Prior to this if you wanted the phone of your dreams you'd had better hope it was with your current provider or you could wave that thing goodbye.

But Google has done something we, the consumers, have been waiting for and that is to make a unlocked cell phones that anyone can get their hands. And this isn't just some basic phone. It is the latest and may be best smartphone on the market. While they appear like iPhones, these unlocked phone have a great feel in one's hands as they are rounded and thin. It offers a large 3.7 inch touch screen and it has fine resolution (480 x 800 pixels, to be exact).

It of course features Wi-fi and Bluetooth capabilities as well as a camera with an LED Flash. The camera also has autofocus and a variety of picture settings. It features on screen typing, as there is no physical keyboard. With this there is a function that as you're typing a word, it has possibilities of that word pop-up on screen for you to choose. That way it doesn't choose the wrong word for you nor does it make you spell it out entirely, a very slick feature. There is also a turn-by-turn GPS as well as alarm clock/weather/music station for the morning (and when you own the dock.)

These are obviously great phones but even better because they come as unlocked cell phones. Unlocked Cellular Phones may be the wave of the future just as smartphones are becoming the norm. Either way, this is the newest and it looks to be paving the way for more devices becoming unlocked.
