Tech Magazine’s Cell Showdown!
Model Price Internet VideoMP3 Brokia B95 $ 500 Yes Yes Yes Jamsung 3000$ 350 No Yes Yes Todorola Lite $ 250 No Yes Yes
This year’s cellphones feature a lot of style. However, if you were hoping for big advances in technology, you’ll probably be disappointed.
Borkia B95: this phone will cost you an arm and a leg. However, for all that money, you do get a phone with internet access, a video camera, and an MP3 player. Our recommendation: Buy last year’s model, which had almost as many functions, and save your money.
Jamsung 3000: Trying to tell the difference between this phone and the Jamsung 2000 was challenge Instead of being brightly colored, this one is black. Other than that, this is really just the 2000. Our recommendation: A lot of money for not a lot of phone. Don’t bother.
Todorola Lite: This one doesn’t have Internet or e-mail, either. However, it doesn’t have the high price of the Jamsung, and it’s got a great video camera and an MP3 player. Our
recommendation: As long as your don’t really need to surf the Net on your phone, this is the phone for you.
--- Dear Tech Magazine:
I have a problem with the “Cell Showdown” article in your most recent issue. In particular, the author wrote that there was no new cellphone technology this year.

receiver was put in cellphones this year that affects using the Internet on cellphones. It doesn’t change what you see on the screen, but it makes Internet access faster and more widely
available.
Before your write an article saying there’s no new technology in something, you should get the truth first. I hope that you can write an article about this very interesting cellphone
technology in the near future.

Dear Sirs:
Our company, Fabulous Photo Agency, recently purchased several pieces of business office equipment from you. Our invoice is #3137, and we have paid the bill in full. After your movers set up our office, we noticed a few problems.

doesn’t work right. That item is listed s #19249 on the invoice.
