Mobile Standards

The lowly mobile phone is actually a very complex device - there is the low-level radio interface, the software running on the device, the station network the phone communicates with, the network interactions (if you are calling a phone on another network), etc.

Here are several forums that deal with the various aspects of mobile devices.  (I am more familiar with the first three)
    Open Mobile Alliance - the forum that is standardizing the layers above the transport.
    Third Generation Partnership Project - the next generation mobile phone standard group.
    Infrared Data Association - a group standardizing infrared communications.
    Bluetooth - the group that is doing a pico-net wireless connection solution.
    GSM Association - this is the GSM operators association.
    Third Generation Partnership Project 2 - the next generation mobile phone standard group - specializing in CDMA2000.
