Current mobile telephones use traditional switched telephone networks, which don't offer the maximum efficiency needed for advanced telecommunications. For example web browsing is painfully slow with current GSM phones. Even though mobile phone vendors have introduced new high speed techniques, the speed of data transfer isn't even the same scale fixed connections offer.
However, with 3rd generation mobile networks such as (UMTS & WCDMA= Universal Mobile Telephone Service & Wideband Code Division, Multiple Access) the data transfer rate will at least double. This new data transferring capability will enable new kind of services also for mobile devices. For example there could be a camera installed on your cellular phone allowing people to see each other during the call. One wouldn't have to necessarily ask every time where his friend is since she would see it.
With other wireless technologies, such as Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and Bluetooth, one could have up to 11 Mbit/s data rates on mobile devices. Traditional cellular phone will also change into a personal mobile computer allowing more or less the same services that desktop computer nowadays.
