Bluetooth
Wireless personal area network (PAN) standard that enables data connections between electronic devices such as
desktop computers, wireless phones, electronic organizers and printers in the 2.4 GHz range at 720kbps within a 30-
foot range. Bluetooth depends on mobile devices equipped with a chip for sending and receiving information.
Clone/Cloning
A wireless phone programmed with stolen or duplicated electronic serial and mobile identification numbers. The
Wireless Telephone Protection Act of 1998 outlawed cloning. The Act prohibits knowingly using, producing, trafficking
in, having control or custody of, or possessing hardware or software knowing that it has been configured to insert or
modify telecommunication identifying information associated with or contained in a telecommunications instrument so
that such instrument may be used to obtain telecommunications service without authorization.
FireWire
Originally developed by Apple, this is an increasingly popular and very fast external bus for transferring data between
devices; also known as IEEE 1394 for the name of the standard it engendered.
The Flex
The flex is the files and branding of the phone. It contains all the carrier specific menus and images, like T-Zones for T-
Mobile, or whichever graphic branding and text links your carrier puts in the phone.
The Flash
The flash is the part we change most often. By now we have several types, but basically, the flash is the software of
the phone. When you change the flash, it adjusts features, menus, and more. Also, things like the way your phone
handles reception or menu speed are handled by flashes. Flashing your phone will not erase any of your media or
settings.
Flash Memory
A component used for memory that can retain information without power.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
A GSM data transmission technique that does not set up a continuous channel from a portable terminal for the
transmission and reception of data, but transmits and receives data in packets. GPRS is used to boost wireless data
transmission over GSM networks. GPRS can achieve 171.2 kilobits per second (kbps), which is about three times as
fast as the data transmission speeds possible over today's fixed telecommunications networks and ten times as fast as
current GSM networks. Unlike existing digital wireless Net connections, no dial-up modem is necessary.
GSM 1800
Also known as DCS 1800 or PCN, GSM 1800 is a digital network working on a frequency of 1800 MHz. It is used in
Europe, Asia-Pacific and Australia.
GSM 1900
Also known as PCS 1900, GSM 1900 is a digital network working on a frequency of 1900 MHz. It is used in the US
and Canada and is scheduled for parts of Latin America and Africa.
GSM 900
The world's most widely used digital network and now operating in over 100 countries around the world, particularly in
Europe and Asia Pacific.
