The n900 has a bunch of radios. Some transmit (Tx) and some receive (RX). There is a GPS Rx, WiFI Tx/Rx, FM Tx/Rx, bluetooth Tx/Rx, and telephone voice/data Tx/Rx. I don't know if the latter is all in one or spread over more than one radio. The phone parts are cellular radios because they pass from tower to tower as the phone moves around. The area serviced by a tower is a cell.
