What’s the Use of a Mobile Phone?

In his blog Marc Meyer asks the question, “The thing that you grab along with your keys, your purse or your wallet, what is it? It goes wherever you go.” He goes on to give the quick and obvious answer “Your phone.” He makes a valid point here, that today the mobile phone is an indispensable part of everyone’s life.

The mobile phone was and is designed as a peer to peer communication tool. But mostly this communication has been in the form of talking and recently texting. So telecoms have been generating revenues mostly based on customer talk times and texting numbers.

A recent Nokia survey came up with some interesting facts. Nearly half the respondents (44%) use their mobile device as their primary camera, with India being home to the most prolific mobile photographers (68%). Globally, seventy two percent now don’t use a separate alarm clock and 73% use their mobile as their main watch or clock. Further, 67% of the respondents predict the mobile phone will replace their MP3 player. Already a large percentage are listening to their music on a mobile phone. Over a third (36%) of respondents are browsing on their mobile devices at least once a month. Inevitably, Japan leads the way in mobile internet usage with 37% admitting to going online on their mobile on a daily basis. In India, today there are more mobile internet users than computer internet users.

And looking to the future, more than one in two (58%) of those questioned would like to be able to control all their household appliances via their mobile device. This is especially true in India (85%).

So the mobile phone is now evolving into a multi functional multimedia device. As the study points people now use their phones for more than just calling and texting. The multimedia device in their hand is more powerful than that. This also means that the way people communicate should change. With CellSerf a user can share expressions that can be in video, voice, picture, and text, with their friends.

When your mobile phone is capable of doing more, why limit your interactions with friends and family to just phone calls and SMSes. You just bought a new bike, well click a picture of it and share it with your friends in real time using CellSerf. Almost everybody today has a mobile handset. And, afterall, that is all you need to share everyday expressions.

From your Computer Login on the CellSerf Homepage to Check Messages

CellSerf works on any phone that supports J2ME (CLDC 1.0 and MIDP 2.0 or higher). To use the software you need to activate a data service such as GPRS/EDGE on your mobile from your telecom operator.

You must keep the CellSerf application running on your mobile handset (in the background) to stay ‘online’. Whenever you get a message you are intimated by a ‘beep’. If you logout of the application then any messages sent to you appears in the inbox the next time you run CellSerf.
