　　These days if you still think the cellphone is just for talking you’ll get laughed at．Yes it’s true voice-only handsets have become out of date．Today’s do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer．The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minute to use them．Some of the things a cellphone can do for you will be available this year：

　　Surf at speed

　　Cellphones that let you use the Web have been around for years．So what’s new?Well faster third-generation(3G)networks that let you surf at anywhere．This then allows a carrier to send video music and games to your phone．Possible choices are from LG Electronics VX 8000 and Motorola V1150．

　　Listen as you go

　　The problem with most Cellphone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs．But that’s about to change．Sony Ericsson’s new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory．And Samsung’s SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1 . 5 GB hard drive．Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players especially for teens．

　　Say cheese

　　Camera cellphones are not new either．But most of them have limitations： around 1–megapixel(百万像素)．But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon．Some 2-megapixel models like Sony Ericsson’s K7501 offer limited zoom and focus controls．Others like LG’s recent A7110 can even capture 30 minutes of full motion video．

　　Portable TV

　　You say you like“watching TV”?That’s what Samsung MM-A700 wants to give you．The new model lets users watch popular TV programmes-for a fee．Other choices are Nokia’s 6620 Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N940．The NEC model lets you watch public TV －no fee．

　　The above are just a handful of what you’ll see in the coming months．Further down the road your mobile phone may play a host of other roles such as mobile credit card position locator．

　　So what is there that a cellphone can’t do?
