EDGE Technology on Nokia Phones and Devices

Connect With Speed
Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) enables data connections three times faster than GPRS within the same multislot class. Like GPRS, you're billed for the data you transfer, not for the time you spend connected.

The Benefits of EDGE
EDGE on Nokia opens up a lot of possibilities for connecting to data networks on your Nokia mobile phone, making it far less frustrating to stream video and download larger files.

What You Can Do With EDGE

Connect to your office or personal email account - you can even set your phone to check for email automatically using data sync
Browse the Internet on your phone
Synchronize your phone and office calendar while you're out of town
Download ringing tones, graphics, and games
Play online games (one example of this is the N-Gage Arena)
Send and receive MMS messages
Use your phone as a modem, connecting your laptop to the Internet
Subscribe to mobile services that bring you personalized information like sports updates, breaking news, horoscopes, share prices, the daily trip-hop-country single...
Use Java applications that require a network connection
Chat using instant messaging on your phone
Update your friends' Presence status

EDGE (based on GPRS) is better than a GSM connection for data that's transferred in larger "chunks." And unlike voice calls and dial-up Internet connections, you pay for how much you transfer, not for how long you're connected. You can have an active connection all the time if you like, which is nice if you need to synchronize periodically with a network or if you're expecting an important email. If you need to make or answer a phone call, your EDGE connection is automatically disconnected for the duration of the call.

How EDGE Works
To use EDGE, you need a phone that supports it, a subscription from your network operator that supports EDGE, and the proper settings.
EDGE is based on General Packet Radio Service, which sends "packets" of data over a radio wave (on the GSM network). Packet switching works like a jigsaw puzzle: your data is split into many pieces, then sent over the network and reassembled at the other end. GPRS is just one of the ways to transport these jigsaw puzzles.
When you talk on a mobile phone, a continuous connection to a channel is reserved for you on the GSM network, which means nobody else can use that channel. With EDGE, you can still have a continuous connection, but you only use the channel when you're sending data.
So, you might be connected to a channel all the time, but you only actually use it when you're sending data. One channel can be shared by many people. This is why you're billed for data transferred, not for time.

EDGE is significantly faster than than CSD (Circuit Switched Data, sometimes just called GSM Data). However, you may find transfers slower than maximum speed during peak hours in busy cell networks, because voice connections usually take precedence. As with GPRS, the data transfer rate also depends on your multislot class (see the GPRS section for details).

Pulses and Bits
EDGE uses a slightly different technology than GPRS called 8PSK, or 8-Phase Shift Keying. Here's a very simplified explanation: data is sent over GPRS and EDGE in pulses. With GPRS, a pulse can carry 1 bit of data, but with EDGE, one pulse carries 3 bits. So it's not that the data actually moves faster, it's that more can be moved at any given time.

What if EDGE Isn't Covered?
In areas where an EDGE network is not available, connections will fall back on GPRS as a default.

Nokia GPRS Technology

Browsing, File Transfers, and More
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a technology that allows your phone to transfer data at moderate speeds.

The Benefits of GPRS
GPRS lets you send data faster than over a GSM data network, and it's also a lot more efficient. But "data" sounds pretty vague, right?

What You Can Do With GPRS

Connect to your office or personal email account to get email as it arrives
Browse the Internet on your phone
Synchronize your phone and office calendar while you're out of town
Download ringing tones, graphics, and games
Play online games (one example of this is the N-Gage™ Arena)

Transfer data up to three times faster with an EGPRS (Enhanced GPRS) phone

GPRS is better than a GSM connection for data that's transferred in larger "chunks." And unlike voice calls and dial-up Internet connections, you pay for how much you transfer, not for how long you're connected. You can have an active GPRS connection all the time if you like, which is nice if you need to synchronize periodically with a network or if you're expecting an important email.

How GPRS Works
To use GPRS, you need a phone that supports it, a subscription from your network operator that supports GPRS, and the proper settings.
General Packet Radio Service does what it says: it sends "packets" of data over a radio wave (on the GSM network). Packet switching works like a jigsaw puzzle: your data is split into many pieces, then sent over the network and reassembled at the other end. GPRS is just one of the ways to transport these jigsaw puzzles.

When you talk on a mobile phone, a continuous connection to a channel is reserved for you on the GSM network, which means nobody else can use that channel. With GPRS, you can still have a continuous connection, but you only use the channel when you're sending data.
So, you might be connected to a channel all the time, but you only actually use it when you're sending data. One channel can be shared by many people. This is why you're billed for data transferred, not for time.

GPRS is significantly faster than CSD (Circuit Switched Data, sometimes just called GSM Data). However, you may find transfers slower than the maximum GPRS data rate during peak hours in busy cell networks, because voice connections usually take precedence. The data transfer rate also depends on your device's multislot class, which brings us to the next section.

What Does "Class 10 (4+2, 5)" Mean?
GPRS classes refer to the slots allocated for uploading and downloading data. The class number, in this case 10, signifies the multislot class. The number 4 in (4+2, 5) refers to the maximum number of slots that can be used for downloading - the more slots used, the faster the data transfer. The second number (2) refers to uploading, and the final number (5, which may or may not be shown), refers to the maximum number of slots that can be used at any one time, both uploading and downloading.
So in this case, we could have 4 downloading and 1 uploading (4+1=5), or 3 downloading and 2 uploading (3+2=5), as a slot can only be used for uploading or downloading at one time. However, you couldn't have 2 downloading and 3 uploading, because that would exceed the maximum number of slots for upload.

Here are some common GPRS classes for Nokia phones - but it's not an exhaustive list:
GPRS Class 2 (2+1, 3)
You guessed it, 2 slots for download and 1 for upload. It's a simple class of GPRS that's found in many phones.

GPRS Class 8 (4+1)
Class 8 reserves 4 slots for downloading and 1 for uploading. This is suitable for Web browsing, and also if you read more email than you send.

GPRS Class 10 (4+1, 3+2)
This profile, which is in the example above, is better for back-and-forth use of GPRS, like instant messaging.

EGPRS (EDGE)
EGPRS (Enhanced GPRS or EDGE) uses a slightly different technology based on what's called 8PSK, or 8-Phase Shift. In practice, it makes GPRS transfers about three times faster, and makes downloading larger files like video less frustrating.

HTML Technology on Nokia

The Internet as You Already Know It
Today many Nokia handsets come with a browser that is not only able to read WAP and XHTML pages, but also standard Web pages written in HTML. You've probably at least heard of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) - it's what traditional web pages are written in.

Of course, there are ups and downs to mobile browsing. The small screen can limit the browsing experience, and mobile data connection speeds aren’t yet comparable to browsing in fixed data networks. The speed of the network really comes in to play when the page you're requesting is large (i.e. it has a lot of images or other files). The upside is the fantastic convenience of mobility: when your phone's equipped with an HTML browser, you can access most Web pages.

Changing the Protocol
With the introduction of XHTML browsers on mobile phones, it was necessary to change the data transfer protocol. "Protocol" simply means a communication language; if two devices use the same protocol, they can send commands to each other. WAP uses a specific protocol called WAP Stack, whereas XHTML and HTML browsers use TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). You may have heard of TCP/IP before: it's the same protocol that your PC uses to access the Internet, and that's one reason why your mobile phone and PC can read the same web pages.

What a Good Mobile Browser Should Do?
The capability is there, so mobile browsers should live up to the possibilities. HTTP, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets, used to define the look and feel of a site), SSL (Secure Sockets Layer, for more secure browsing including shopping), and JavaScript are some of the commonly supported technologies.
In addition, the following may make mobile browsers more useful:
Multiple Content Types: browsers should read current (and sometimes legacy) versions of HTML, XHTML MP, WAP CSS, WML, WMLScript, and ECMAScript MP
Plug-In support: download plug-ins for viewing different content types
HTTP File Upload: upload images from your phone's local file directory to a web server, for example.
Multiple Content Rendering Options: a good browser will render pages nicely for the small screen, using incremental page rendering (so you don't have to wait for the whole page to load before you see anything), and allow the options of narrow or wide layout (so you can choose if you scroll sideways or not).

Many other features may be added to mobile browsers to make them more like standard Internet interfaces: bookmarks, download progress indicators, URL auto complete... the list goes on. As 3G technologies make data transfer faster, as an increasing number of websites write their pages in XHTML and take mobile Internet access into account, and as mobile screens get more sophisticated, maybe you won't be surprised to find yourself one day using your phone to access the Internet, and not thinking twice about it.

Instant Messaging Technology on Nokia

Mobile Instant Messaging
You may already use an instant messaging service on your PC. Now you can take advantage of instant messaging on your Nokia phone.

What You Get with Mobile Instant Messaging

Chat in real time with your contacts, whether they're online at a PC or also using instant messenger on a phone - it works mobile-to-mobile, mobile-to-PC, and PC-to-mobile
If you have to dash from your PC but want to keep a conversation going, just switch on instant messaging in your mobile while you're still logged on
See instantly if your contacts are online and available
Invite several people to one conversation - very helpful when you're making movie plans or scheduling meetings

With some phones, instant messaging works closely with Presence - you can see where your friends are, what they're doing, and send them a message they can respond to right away

How it Works
To use instant messaging, you'll need a username and password from an online IM service, and the rest depends on your phone and operator. Some operators support specific software. Some phones have an application built-in, and with others you can download an independent Java™ application.
You may use IM by connecting to the Internet (over WAP, GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA or other network connection), or you may also send and receive messages by SMS.

Getting Instant Messaging
Many network operators have special support for instant messaging services. They can provide you with applications and instructions on how to use them. If you’re already familiar with popular instant messaging programs for PC, you’ll find the interface very similar.

Some Nokia phones come with instant messaging applications pre-installed. In this case, developers can tweak these applications so that they work seamlessly with the phone’s interface and technological capabilities. If your Nokia phone doesn’t have pre-installed software, you can try downloading a Java™ application – several are easily available, each with different features. A single application can be compatible with several major IM clients. Your operator's charges depend on which method you're using, and how they set their own tariffs.

Using Instant Messaging
You should be able to see your list of contacts or “buddy list” as soon as you’re connected. You’ll also see their status – whether they’re online or not. They might also have some variations on their status like “Away” or “At Lunch,” so you know there’s a reason if they don’t answer right away.

Simply connect to your network, choose a contact, type a message, and your message is sent to your friend instantly. Because you’re already connected to the Internet (through GPRS or other connection), there’s virtually no lag between sending and receiving.
SMS: A Solution for Simpler Phones
Some phones may not be compatible with IM software, so some operators have a neat solution: an instant message sent to your username will be forwarded to your phone as an SMS message. Simply reply to the SMS message and it’s sent to their instant messaging program. It’s not quite as “instant” as the more advanced version, but it’s still an innovative way to keep in touch.

Java™ Technology on Nokia

Turn Your Phone Into a More Powerful Tool
Java is both a programming language and a software platform, and it's used to create and run applications for Nokia phones.

What You Can Do With Java
With Java applications, your phone can do more of the things you'd like it to do. Downloading and installing applications is a relatively simple process (as is uninstalling them), and there is a wide range of applications available.

How Does It Work?
Java was originally developed by Sun Microsystems. Enhancements and standardization of the Java platform are conducted by the Java Community Process (JCP), in which Nokia takes an active role together with Sun and other members.
There are two parts to Java technology: a programming language, and an environment in which those commands can be executed. You wouldn't expect much response if you started speaking Polish in Rio de Janiero, right? You need an environment where the language means something, so Java brings its own environment along.
Java-enabled Nokia phones - most Nokia models on the market now - contain a Java Virtual Machine, which is ready to run applications written in Java. This makes using new applications easy, because you usually don't have to configure, load, or install anything else.

What is Java Technology?
The Java application development platform consists of two parts: a programming language, and an execution environment. It is primarily used to create downloadable applications.

The current version of Java is Java 2, and this is divided into 3 editions: Java 2 Enterprise Edition (found on high-end business machines), Java 2 Standard Edition (found on desktop computers), and Java 2 Micro Edition or J2ME, which works with smaller handheld devices such as mobile phones and PDAs. The reasoning behind all the different editions is to avoid the problems of developing and running apps using a one-size-fits-all configuration -- obviously a small mobile phone can’t crunch the same amount of information as a larger computer.

Looking Closer at J2ME
The J2ME platform is not a single specification for a piece of software. Instead it is a collection of technologies and specifications designed for different parts of the small device market. First, there is a configuration, and on top of that there is a profile that defines the functionality of specific devices.
The core of the J2ME platform is formed by two different configurations, Connected Device Configuration (CDC) and Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC). A configuration defines central Java technology libraries and virtual machine capabilities. CLDC is targeted at portable devices such as mainstream mobile phones, whereas CDC is targeted at more advanced mobile devices, such as Nokia Communicators.

Creating Apps with Your Phone in Mind
On top of the configurations are the profiles that define the key functionality and application programming interfaces (APIs) in a specific device category. The Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), which is found on many Nokia models, is a profile for devices using CLDC. It allows developers to make use of parts of the Nokia user interface and hardware such as lights, sound, and vibration.

MMS Technology on Nokia

A Picture and a Thousand Words
MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service, a technology that allows you to create, send, and receive text messages that also include an image, audio, and/or video clip. MMS messages are sent from one mobile phone to another, or to an email address.

What's in It for Me?

Multimedia messaging enriches your mobile messages in much the same way as inserting photos or changing fonts and colors does in email - it's both useful and expressive.
MMS messages are sometimes considered equivalent to so-called "picture messaging," popularized by the recent imaging phones boom, but other uses of the technology do exist.

How Does It Work?
You don't need to have an imaging phone to send and receive MMS messages, just an MMS-enabled mobile phone, an operator agreement that supports the service, and the correct settings on your handset. Of course, an imaging phone gives you the option of creating and passing on your original images.
An MMS message is a multimedia presentation in a single entry, unlike an email with attachments, making it easier to create and simpler to deliver than an email with attachments. MMS is a scalable technology, which means it's suitable for most types of mobile phones. And MMS is compatible with fixed email addresses, so it is possible to criss-cross back and forth over the mobile-PC border.

Mobile Browsing Technology on Nokia

Get Online with WAP, XHTML, or HTML
A mobile browser is simply any program that lets you access and read content on a network from a mobile device - usually the Internet or some other mobile network service. As more phones on the market boast high network connection speeds and color screens, mobile browsing is becoming more common (and a lot better-looking!)

What You Can Do with Mobile Browsers
Many new Nokia models come with an integrated XHTML or even HTML mobile browser, giving you the chance to surf without being chained to a desktop computer. Today's mobile browsers give you richer colors and faster browsing than the original mobile browsers, and most importantly, a way to access the Web at your fingertips. Considering the no-frills WAP sites that started off mobile browsing, the technology has come a long way.
How It Works
In order to browse with a mobile phone, you need to have a phone with a browser (either one that's built in or downloaded), a subscription from your network operator to a data service (GSM data, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, etc), and the correct settings on your phone. Then it's up to other companies and individuals to build the sites and services you can browse.

How It Works
Depending on the phone model, there are several different ways to access email with your mobile phone.

Symbian and Series 40
All Nokia devices running on Symbian OS and many Series 40 devices have an email program (called a "client") that can be used to download, read, and send email on your mobile phone. The email client lets you log in to your private or business email account supporting POP3, IMAP4, or SMTP protocols - the most widely used PC-email protocols.
SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and is typically used in programs that send email via the Internet. POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) and IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol Version 4) are used to receive email messages, storing your mail on the server until you download it.

Connecting
Email is usually delivered to and from your mobile phone over a mobile network connection. The connection method you choose depends on which technologies your mobile phone supports. Nokia mobile phones may support different kinds of data connections: a GSM data connection (CSD), a GSM high-speed data connection (HSCSD), a general packet data (GPRS) connection, enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE), wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) or wireless local area network (WLAN).

Typically, an access point for the data connection must be configured to connect to a data service -- and the same is true for email. The necessary access point parameters can be sent over- the- air to your device by a commercial Internet service provider (ISP), service provider, or network operator.

You also have to define your email settings including your email address, your outgoing and incoming mail servers, your mailbox type, and other preferences. Your mailbox type defines the protocol for receiving emails, which can be POP3 or IMAP4. Most service providers can send all the required settings directly to your device. Check with your service provider to see which protocol they recommend.
You can also choose just to get the email headers (sender and subject line) first, and then decide which messages you'll download, saving you both time and connection charges.

Sending Mail
Depending on the phone model, there are several different ways to access email with your mobile phone.
After you have defined settings for a new mailbox, the name given to that mailbox will appear in the main view of the phone. The only time you need to connect is when you are sending a message or collecting new messages you have received. You can compose and read your messages offline.

Other Email Options
Email Using a Mobile Browser
Many new Nokia devices have an advanced HTML browser that you can use to access your Web-based email account.
IMAP4 Idle
The Nokia 6630 smartphone is the first Nokia device to support the idle functionality in the Internet standard IMAP4 technology. This technology enables the email service to directly send new email to your phone without any need for connecting manually.
RIM Blackberry™
Several Nokia phones support the Blackberry™ email system that enables users to receive new email automatically to their device, rather than through logging in to a server to manually fetch it. Blackberry™ is an operator-dependent feature, and requires a subscription for the service.

Mobile Music Technology on Nokia Phone

Your Music on the Move
Many Nokia phones have integrated technologies to play music, either from a digital music player or an FM stereo radio.

What's in it for Me?

Stereo FM radio
No need to carry a separate MP3 player - walk, talk, and rock with just one compact device
Download digital music tracks in AAC format
Tune in to Visual Radio and you'll see what you hear on the screen of your mobile device

How It Works
You can play music through the loudspeaker on your Nokia phone, but to really experience mobile music you'll need a headset. In the case of the FM radio, the antenna is in the headset, so it's a necessary item. Headsets are either included in your sales package or available as enhancements. Plug in the headset (unless it's wireless, of course), select the music option from the main menu, and you're on your way.
All-in-One
A key advantage of mobile music is having your phone and music player in the same small device. You carry your phone with you anyway, so why carry an MP3 player or portable radio too? Travelling light is never overrated - plus the music pauses automatically when you get a call.

Digital Music Players

Many Nokia phones with integrated digital music players come with a MultiMediaCard (MMC) to store your music.
MMC cards are removable
64 and 128 MB memory cards are available separately as enhancements

Visual Radio
Visual Radio lets you tune in to a Visual Radio-enabled radio station to enjoy completely new kinds of services.

Valuable business news or urgent news alerts can be shown at any time on your screen without interrupting the sound
Participate in competitions
Vote on your favorite songs
Keep enjoying all the features of your standard FM radio

Mobile Video Technology on Nokia

Mobile Video is Reality Today
Mobile video means both creating your own video clips and watching content created by others. There are two types of mobile video content services: downloadable and streaming. You can download, store, and play back videos on your mobile device. Or, you can stream video content, which is a better option for viewing longer clips because data isn't stored on your phone. You can also tune in to live video feeds using streaming.

What You Can Do With Mobile Video

Use a phone equipped with a camera to record your own clips, then send them (by email, MMS, or over a wireless connection using Bluetooth technology or infrared)
Watch streamed news, sports, music videos, or movie trailers
Watch live camera views such as road conditions, concerts, parties, etc.
Subscribe to MMS videos or download short video content such as daily news, weather, or cartoons
Store your favorite videos on a MultiMediaCard (MMC) card - longer clips can fit on an MMC card as long as it has enough capacity

How It Works
Unless the video you want to watch is already stored on an MMC card, your phone must be able to connect to the Internet in order to access video files. This means you need a phone with a GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA or other network connection, and the correct settings. If you're interested in streaming video, look for a phone that supports EDGE or WCDMA.

* Please note that these services are also dependent on your subscription and the network capabilities. Check with your operator for more details.

Download Video
Optimized for shorter videos such as music clips, sports highlights, fashion tips or movie trailers
Be online only for as long as it takes to download the clip, which is then stored in your phone so you can watch it whenever you want
Note: Check that you are allowed to download music files from the Internet on to your phone or MMC card - make sure you are not infringing any copyright laws.

Streaming Video
With streaming the data isn't stored in your phone's memory, so you don't have to worry about needing a lot of free space on your phone
Streaming minimizes the time between choosing what you want to see and actually seeing it, because you don't have to wait for the entire file to download
Just like on the Internet, streaming video is viewed while you're online, only this time it's over your GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA or other network connection
Stream the latest news, hottest sports, movie previews, plus stream music and check webcams

Make Your Own Movies
Video recording and sharing capabilities are becoming more and more popular. Nokia imaging phones are capable of recording video - from short clips to longer videos - up to an hour, depending on the model. You can even edit clips on your compatible phone with software like Nokia Video Editor, or add a little fun to your videos, creating cross-fades and effects with Movie Director.

If you record your own movies, they're stored as a 3GPP file, with the extension .3gp. You can view these clips on a PC with Nokia Multimedia Player, and you can also play .3gp files with other compatible media players.

Video via MMS
Take a short video clip and send it via MMS to an MMS-enabled phone or to an email address
Subscribe to a daily weather, news headlines, or sports highlights service that delivers short video content via MMS
Build your own library of video clips - several online services offer MMS storage
Receive an MMS containing a trailer for a new movie opening this weekend. Then entice your friends to come along by forwarding the trailer to them.

NFC Technology on Nokia Phone

Just touch and go
Imagine your credit cards, loyalty cards, and travel card all in one place: inside your mobile phone. With near field communication (NFC) technology, your mobile phone is a multi-purpose smartcard, making shopping and traveling easy.
You can also access your favorite websites, get travel timetables, make phone calls, send text messages, and share information with your friends just by tapping your mobile phone to service shortcut tags you can carry with you.
What you can do with NFC

Make fast, convenient, and secure purchases by touching your mobile phone to NFC credit card readers
NFC technology lets you use your mobile phone as a travel ticket – just touch and ride.
Visit your favorite websites, make phone calls, or send text messages just by tapping your mobile phone to service shortcut tags available from, for example, your service provider
Explore mobile services like news, weather, and travel timetables by touching your mobile phone to posters embedded with service shortcut tags
Share information and notes with your friends and colleagues just by touching your NFC mobile phones together

How it works
NFC has a short operating range of typically a few centimeters, and works in combination with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and contactless smart card infrastructure.
Using NFC, your phone can read small amounts of data from RFID service shortcut tags, as well as communicate with other devices. Therefore, when you touch your phone to a RFID tag, the service shortcut contained inside the tag is launched.

RFID tags can be stored in your purse or pocket, or can even be embedded inside posters. You can also create your own personalized service shortcuts by putting data onto an empty RFID tag using your NFC phone. NFC also enables you to share your personalized service shortcuts with other NFC enabled devices.

What’s more, you can make transactions just by touching your phone to a NFC credit card reader or ticket gate. Your payment information, such as credit cards, loyalty cards, or your travel ticket are securely stored in the integrated smart card chip inside your phone.

Nokia Bluetooth Technology

What is bluetooth
Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication between devices. It's based on a low-cost short-range radio link.

Is Bluetooth Good for You?
Every decorator knows that cables and wires are unsightly and confusing. Bluetooth connections allow wireless communication between devices within a range of about 30 feet (10 meters). Unlike infrared, you don't have to point devices directly at each other, or even have both devices in the same room. Bluetooth can initiate connections automatically with paired devices, so you don't even have to think about it. And no, you don't have to pay for a Bluetooth connection, no matter how much data you transfer.

Bluetooth advantage
Nokia bluetooth advantages were in Surf and Sync, Entertainment, Audio, Car, and Imaging.

Surf and Sync with bluetooth

Need to check your email or a web page on your laptop? Start a GPRS connection to the Internet with your phone, then connect your phone and PC using Bluetooth. Your laptop is now online
Synchronize your calendar and contacts wirelessly

Entertainment with bluetooth

Wireless multiplayer gaming (check out the N-Gage™ game deck)
With a Bluetooth-enabled headset, you can listen to MP3s or FM radio on your phone without wires getting in the way - and the music stops automatically if you get an incoming call

Audio with bluetooth

Use a headset supporting Bluetooth and lose the wires
Nokia wireless headsets also allow you to handle calls from the earpiece (answer/reject and end calls, adjust volume, last number redial, and so on)

Car with bluetooth

Less clutter in your car
Get in your car and your phone and Blutooth enabled Nokia car kit automatically initiate a network using Bluetooth technology

Imaging with bluetooth

Send pictures to another phone or PC
Print images directly from your phone

Since Bluetooth chips are tiny and consume very little power, we're now seeing the widespread deployment of Bluetooth throughout mobile phones and other digital devices. The popularity of Bluetooth technology then encourages developers and manufacturers to produce new products supporting Bluetooth, so who knows what you'll be using it for in the future!

How bluetooth works
When two devices share information, there are a few things that have to be worked out: firstly, how they will physically connect - through how many wires? Or none at all? - and then, what are the agreed commands that will make sense to both devices (the protocol)? Bluetooth is an industry standard that solves both of these issues cheaply, and using very little battery power.

Bluetooth in Nokia Phone
A Nokia phone supporting Bluetooth contains a tiny, inexpensive radio chip, which is designed to send data over a specific radio frequency to another Bluetooth chip. The receiver chip, whether it's in a PC, phone, or other device, then transmits the data to the receiving device. The chips are easy to make and the entire process is very low on power consumption, so it's no surprise that Bluetooth has become a wireless industry standard.
Bluetooth communicates over radio waves on a frequency of about 2.45 gigahertz. This is the same band used by many industrial and medical devices as well as some household ones, such as garage door openers and baby monitors.

Electronic Conversations
When two devices running Bluetooth come into range of each other, a little electronic conversation happens. They decide whether or not the devices need to share data and if they do, they form a little network - usually you don't have to do anything. This is what happens when you use a Bluetooth-enabled Nokia headset or car kit.
When you send data from one phone to another, however, it's a bit different. The person on the receiving end has to accept the transfer, and there may be a password involved. These measures are for privacy and security reasons.
Voice, Data, and Audio
It's not just little packets of data that can be sent between two Bluetooth devices. Bluetooth also supports voice and audio connections (it is a radio wave, after all).

Avoiding Interference
So in one room of your house you have a stereo system that uses Bluetooth technology instead of cables, a new cordless phone model, a baby monitor, your phone, and a PC. Why don't they interfere with each other?

This is one of the neater things about the Bluetooth design. When we said it operates over a frequency of 2.45 GHz, we actually meant from about 2.40 to 2.48 gigahertz. In this range there are 79 radio frequency channels, and a Bluetooth device skips randomly between these 79 channels 1600 times per second! When two or more devices are connected, they jump around in sync. If two different "conversations" land on the same RF channel at the same time, the interference time is so short that it doesn't cause any problems.
