wi-fi (wireless fidelity) is a wireless communications standard- usually for cordless communication between computers in an office or home environment.It operates at 2.4 GHz and typically at a speed of either 54 or 108 mb per second.In a phone it is intended to replace the need for a cable link.
UMTS and 3G are both different names for the new third generation of mobile networks which offer higher data rates than GPRS and make things like streaming video or downloading large files much easier |

Amax is right. A few years back Symbian developed several reference designs for UI's before deciding to leave this upto third parties. One of these was Quartz which was for tablet style communicators - I think there was also one called Crystal which was for Nokia Communicator styled devices. I can't fully remember the third and final one although I believe it may have been Perl (or something). UIQ is still a Symbian subsiduary hence the 'Q' standing for Quartz (or so I assume!). |

For more information on UIQ refer to www.uiq.com (the official UIQ website).
UIQ was originally quartz. |

UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Standard) is the name that has been given commercially to the protocol that follows GSM (Global Standard for Mobiles).
Why it is called 3G?
Well, the first generation of mobile phones (1G) was analog. Then, with GSM (digital), came the second generation. GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) was an evolution of GSM and provided users with higher data speed and the chance to be "always on", without paying the time of connection, but rather the amount of data transferred.
GPRS has been nicknamed 2.5G because it represented an intermediate step between GSM and UMTS.
UMTS, which is taking more and more market share, is a tecnology based on the WCDMA (Wideband Code Divison Multiple Access) protocol.
Frequencies are as follows:
GSM in Europe worked at the beginning using a 900Mhz Frequency. In order to increase call quality and data rates a new frequency has been added 1800 Mhz (Dual Band phones were born to be able to operate on both frequencies).
In the USA the frequency used by GSM operators is 1900 Mhz (hence the need for a TriBand GSM phone to be able to make calls in the USA).

Abit off topic, but for anyone who's interested in their history, here's a few articles referencing the UI's I mentioned earlier. Should give a bit further insight into things UIQ / Symbian;
http://ncsp.forum.nokia.com/download/?asset_id=77 (This pdf has a 'What is 'Quartz', 'Pearl', 'Crystal' section)
http://www.theregister.co.uk/[....]10/psions_series_9_odin_found/ (Oh, and of course Psion were going to be producing smartphones using Quartz too !)
