LBS (location based services) are starting to emerge as applications that can show the location of your friends or family if their cell phone is powered on.
Bluetooth - Bluetooth enabled phones allow you to purchase wireless headsets that go over your ear and allow you to make and receive calls handsfree.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
When wireless devices are used near hearing devices (such as hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
HAC (Hearing Aid Compatibility) devices are marked with “M” or “T” ratings to reflect how the wireless device will work with the hearing aid in microphone mode (“M”) and in the telecoil mode (“T”). Only phones that are tested and meet the minimum rating for HAC, “M3” or “T3”, and higher will be labeled. If you see a “M3”, “M4”, “T3” or “T4”, then the phone has been designated as HAC-compliant. The higher the “M” rating on the phone, the more likely it is you will be able to use the phone with your hearing aid on the microphone setting. The higher the T rating, the more likely you will be able to use the phone with your hearing aid on the telecoil setting.
