Wallpapers, Screensavers, Themes and Ringtones

Mobile Phone Wallpapers

Wallpapers from zedge.netMobile phone wallpapers are those background images on the screen of your mobile phone. Most phones come with a few wallpapers installed which you can choose from and alternate. However, if you want to have something more to your taste or just regularly change the way the screen of you mobile looks, you can visit websites where you can download the latest wallpapers and then install them on your phone.

Wallpapers have replaced mobile phone logos and there are literally hundreds to choose from, of every theme imaginable. You can get wallpapers of your favourite sporting heroes or film stars, cute animal pictures, and amazing graphics. Try this site for a good start at downloading your own free mobile wallpaper: www.zedge.net

Mobile Phone Screensavers

Screensavers are those short animated graphics that kick in after you've been using your phone and before the screen goes black to save power. Again you can download screensavers from websites of your favourite sports team to cool animated images of just about any theme. You'll find a huge choice here: www.screensavers.com

Mobile Phone Themes

Themes for your mobile phone are more of a complete design package than a wallpaper which is just a background image. Mobile phone themes are a skin that is compatible with your particular model or handset, and it becomes part of the interface of the phone system when it's installed. The theme will include colour schemes, menu styles folder styles, etc for everything in your phone. You can change the theme, just like you can the wallpaper or screensaver, which will change the look and feel of you mobile phone but not any of it's usability, functions and features. Great free phone themes are available here: http://gallery.mobile9.com

Mobile Phone Ringtones

OK, your phone does come with a selection of ring tones, and sometimes they're quite good, but it's great to customise your ringtone only if it's to recognise when your own phone is ringing among the din of all the others. There are hundreds of free ringtone downloads, check out our page specifically on mobile phone ringtones .

Note: Many of these wallpapers and screensavers are available online for free, but do check that you are not going to be charged for downloading anything beforehand.


Camera Mobile Phones

It used to be a novelty to have a camera built-in to your cell phone, but now most of the modern mobile phones come with cameras. However, if you want to ensure that your new phone does come with a camera you can search on some websites for just that: Camera mobile phones.

It's possible to buy a very inexpensive mobile phone with a 2 megapixel camera, such as the Nokia 6300 for example, and some cell phones come with cameras of 8 megapixels, which compete with the best digital cameras, but these are a bit more pricey.

Check out Mobile Rainbow's section for camera mobile phones .


How to buy a mobile (cell) phone

There really is no shortage of cellphone or mobile phone sites. (And I carefully picked the sites above, too!). Sometimes, I think you just have to learn about what you're buying and that's why I wrote a modest Mobile Phone Buying Guide to help people understand what's what!

And even if you know what's what, how is it possible to stay up to date with the latest phones. I recommend a visit to somewhere like this Review Site or even Amazon mobile phones (check out the buyer reviews!). Good luck!
