THUMB CELLULAR, LLC
Updated: January 11, 2012
I. Explanation of Handset Level of Functionality
A. Determination of a handset’s level of functionality was based on the cost of the unit, the
features offered, and the operating capabilities of the unit. Thumb Cellular has identified the
following three (3) levels of handset functionality:
1. Basic – includes handsets with a retail value of $129 or less that offer basic calling ability, may or may not offer a camera and Bluetooth technology, and may only
have limited data functions.
2. Advanced – includes handsets with a retail value of $159 up to $299 that offer all basic functionality, and also have a camera, bluetooth technology, an expansion memory
slot, and music player capabilities. These models offer a full range of data functions on
the high-speed, EV-DO, data network. In addition, some of these models offer touch-screen technology.
3. Smart Devices – includes handsets with a retail value of $349 or higher, offer all the
functions of the previous categories and also have the functionality of a PDA. Included in
this category are BlackBerry, HTC, and other Android devices.
