3G - The Third Generation of mobile communication
What is 3rd Generation (3G) ?We can now talk to each other face-to-face on our mobile terminals.
Using the latest 3G technology (available from Three, Orange and Vodafone - rest will follow soon), you can log onto the office network, surf the Internet, order and pay for goods, manage our investments on the stock markets, check the weather or find the nearest Italian restaurant. The list of potential uses for wireless communications in the future is endless. Access to them all will be from wherever you happen to find yourself at the time.
3rd Generation is the generic term used for the new generation of mobile communications systems. 3G systems provide enhanced services to those - such as voice, text and data. This includes Video conferencing and downloading Video clips such as Premiership Goals.
The vision for 3G was based on the previous generations 2G system of the GSM standard, but evolved, extended and enhanced to include an additional radio air interface, better suited for high speed and multimedia data services. This system enables users of current 2nd Generation GSM wireless networks to migrate easily to the new 3rd Generation services, with minimal disruption.

The problem of software with Nokia 3230 has become extremely common. Finally Nokia provided its customers with imaging.The users can create their own set of ringtones and video playback, in a mid-priced ranged Nokia 3230. It is reported that apart from having a slow and useless software the Nokia 3230 also hangs whilst scrolling. The phone restarts while using FM radios and other multimedia functions.
