Background and Identification

As technology advances, devices utilizing these technologies become smaller and smaller. Today's cell phones have more computing power than past computers that took up an entire room of space. Modern mobile devices allow users to hold the world -- or at least all of its information, maps, and games -- in their hands. Identifying your particular mobile device can be a task in itself. Many different manufacturers make many different products. Usually the manufacturer's name will appear somewhere on the outside of the device, and the exact model number will typically also appear on the back or underneath the battery (if the battery is removable). Should your device still turn on you can also typically find the model number or IMEI in your settings. There is no surefire mechanism to identify every device, though, so some research might be necessary on your part.
