Handheld wireless devices
Cellphones are portable telephones that connect wirelessly through a network of transmission towers.
The name comes from the geographic "cells" these towers create.
Also called mobile phones or simply phones, they have evolved from voice-only devices into pocket computers with cameras, internet access, and countless applications.
