Are You Abiding by Mobile Phone Etiquette?
From the Blog ProPakistani: Are You Abiding by Mobile Phone Etiquette? - Are You Abiding by Mobile Phone Etiquette? is a post from: ProPakistani Many of us consider mobile phones as life savers, but rude mobile phone users are the thorns in our sides. Private conversations, arguments, details about how a meeting went, or intimate knowledge of what's in a stranger's refrigerator at home are all things that all eavesdroppers can do. What is needed to be done is that we should follow some etiquette when using a mobile phone, after all, most people who are annoying don't realize that they're annoying everyone around. Some people have got so fed up with rude mobile phone users that they turned to illegal mobile phone jammers. These devices knock mobile phone users off their lines and prevent a reconnection with the mobile tower until the user wanders out of range. The rate at which jammers are selling speaks to the lack of manners among the mobile phone users. What are Mobile Phone Manners, After all? Mobile phone etiquette involves following some simple guidelines of common courtesy when using a mobile phone in public, designed to make public places more enjoyable for all. Its just a matter of being considerate of others, which pays off for everyone! Do not forget to abide by the following when using a mobile phone: 1. Keep a 10-feet (3 meter) distance between you and anyone else whenever you talk to someone on your mobile phone. No exceptions. 2. Don't Talk too loudly : Generally you don't have to shout in the microphone to be heard on the other end. 3. Don't Multi-task: Don't make calls while driving, shopping, in banks, waiting in line, or doing pretty much anything that involves interacting with other human beings. 4. Don't Talk in Any Enclosed Spaces : Even if you're more than 10 feet away from anyone. Others can still hear you talking on your mobile phone (because it's an enclosed space) and usually, they're forced to just sit there and listen. Especially, do not make or attend calls when you are in bathrooms, elevators, waiting rooms, auditoriums and public transports. 5. Places Where to Turn-Off Mobile Ring-tone: Don't even let your mobile phone ring in any of the following settings; Job interviews, Meetings, Libraries, Museums, Worship places, School, During Lectures, Courtrooms, During live performances, Funerals, Weddings, in Cinema halls, and at Work Place etc. 6. Don't Use Mobile During Meals: : Don't use your mobile phone when having a meal with someone. Ideally, you should turn it off entirely. If you're anticipating an important call, let the person you're with, know beforehand that you're expecting a call that you'll need to take. No matter what, don't hold a conversation at the table; step away, follow Step 1, and don't stay away any longer than you would for a bathroom break. Never, ever text at the table, even if the conversation died down. 7. No Mobile Phone When at Movies: Turn off your mobile phone at the movie theater. Even if your mobile phone is on vibrate mode, people can hear it during quiet parts of the movie. And even if they can't, the light from your mobile phone's screen is very distracting. Don't check the time, don't check your text messages; just turn it off until the movie is over. Mobile Phones should be turned off in movie theaters, playhouses, observatories or any other public place that creates an atmosphere to transport the imagination of the audience. People pay good money to be entertained and a ringer breaks the illusion. 8. Practice Texting : When you're in an enclosed space, or you can't put yourself 10 feet out of everyone's way, it's inappropriate to talk but it's acceptable to receive and send text messages. In such cases, keep the following rules of texting etiquette in mind; Use the vibrate feature instead of an audible text alert. Only text when you're standing still or sitting out of anyone's way. Don't text while you walk or drive. Don't text while doing anything that requires you to be attentive. A good example would be while waiting at an intersection for the pedestrian signal. Don't text in a meeting or conference when you should be attentive to the guest speaker.

SE XPERIA TM X10, X10 Mini and X10 Mini pro will stick to Android v2.1 a.k.a Éclair, however, they'll be getting software enhancements via future upgrades. SE claims that current Android version combined with their proprietary software updates is the best available option for these devices and they've plans for implanting new features through software upgrade e.g. introducing Multi-touch support to X10 and other members of XPERIA TM family in Q1-2010. It merits mentioning that with the introduction of XPERIA TM X10 SE got back on the track which they might've otherwise lost. XPERIA TM X10 proved to be the success for SE itself. They were already late in releasing Éclair Upgrade for the device and now they've abandoned next OS upgrade at least for older members of the XPERIA TM family. XPERIA TM X10 users can still upgrade to Froyo and even Gingerbread (Android v2.3) using unofficial custom ROMs but at their own risk. Meanwhile, SE has also introduced a new flagship device named XPERIA TM X12 a.k.a XPERIA TM Arc which promises to bring along following set of features: 4.2 Inches Capacitive Touch Screen of Type LED-backlit LCD (Reality Display) Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine for improved Multimedia experience Display Resolution of size FWVGA (854×480) Android OS 2.3 (Gingerbread) Slim & light-weight (8.7mm at its thinnest part & 117g) 8.1MP camera with 720p@30fps HD Video recording Sony Exmor R TM Mobile Sensor with f/2.4 lens aperture for better low light performance 1GHz Snapdragon Processor & 512MB RAM 512 MB Phone memory & up to 32GB external memory support.
