History of Mobile Phones

Alexander Graham Bell invented telephone and 1878

he made the first phone call.

Motorola introduced some of its first cell phones

during the 1980s.

Those phones were completely different from the

devices we have today since from no side they were

cost effective and handy.

The first Smartphone was developed by IBM & BellSouth

which came out to in public in 1993.

These Smartphones are advancing at a very fast pace

and are not restricted to just internet browsing or playing

games.

Now you can do every possible thing with these modern

handheld devices.

The first call was made from a

mobile phone was made 40 years

ago!

Mobile phones have come a long

way from an enormous $3,995

heavy brick to present devices.

40 Years!

1973 – The first cell phone

The first mobile phone

developed by Motorola in 1973.

It was Martin Cooper who

placed the first call at AT&T

Bells Labs from the streets of

New York.

1984 – Nokia Mobira Talkman

The Phone weighed under 5

kgs and is world’s one of the

first transportable phones.

A car and a charger was

needed to charge it.

Once this model was launched,

its sales created a stir in the

market.

1989 – Motorola MicroTac

Motorola Microtac was the smallest

and lightest available phone at that

time.

It was released as the “MicroTac

Pocket Cellular Telephone”.

It was designed keeping in mind to

fit it in a shirt pocket.

1992 – Motorola International 3200

First digital-sized mobile phone from Motorola introduced in 1992.

This was the first handset that gave the world an idea of “Flip

Phones”.

The International 3200 was crafted to enable mobile phones

to use the original analog cell technology.

Like its predecessors, 3200’s shape and size was similar to a

long brick with numeric buttons on the narrow side, along

with the earphone and microphone.

In Germany, it was called knochen, due to the resemblance in

shape between it and a bone.

1994 – Motorola 2900 BagPhone

Motorola introduced a very powerful line of mobile phones

in 1992.

These phones put out 3 watts of power (as opposed to 0.6

watts that today's cell phones output) which made them

popular for truckers, boaters, and people in rural areas.

Because of their durability, many of these phones are still

in working order today.

Time changes, and so does technology

1996 – Motorola StarTac

Before the StarTAC came along, cell phones were bricks.

Motorola wowed the industry with this 3.1 ounce wonder.

The handset is best remembered today as being the first

clamshell phone—a form factor that set the design

precedent for years to come.

The StarTAC handset helped drive

mainstream cell phone adoption, selling

around 60 million units over the course of

its long life.

The phone also gets points for introducing

the vibrating ring.

1996 – Nokia 8110

•Nokia’s first high-end

phone was released

in 1996

•What made it different

was the ‘slider’ form

factor.

•It was made to protect

the keypad when kept

in pocket and could

downslide when in use.

1996 – Nokia 9000 Communicator

The very first product of the

communicator series from Nokia.

A brand name in the series of

business optimized mobile

phones.

On the outside, it appears just like

a normal phone & open in

clamshell to access the QWERTY

keyboard.

1998 – Nokia 5110

EVERYONE had these!

Nokia 5110 was the first phone to feature the game snake.

It had a face plate which allowed users to customize their

mobile phone.

Now mobile phones were not limited to just

communication, they were more about fashion now.

Nokia had jumped on a trend that started in the mobile phone accessories market.

People were buying new covers for old phones.

Though this wasn’t Nokia’s first attempt for a business phone, but this time they decided it was more of fashion.

The Guardian fashion editor loved it and it won the 'Off the Cuff' (Fashion) Accessory of the Year Award 1998.

For once, we all have played this in our life!

Its selling point was based on the customization and design, with

removable X-press on covers.

On the lower side of the phone you can find an infra-red port for

wireless communication.

The phone uses SMS (Short Message Service) with predictive

text input, with support for major European languages.

You can find six different colors in the X-Press on

covers for your mobile.

user can assign name to each key on keypad.

2002 – RIM BlackBerry 5810

There was a time in the not-so-

distant past when BlackBerry's’

weren't actually phones.

Mobile professionals who are

addicted to e-mail access via their

RIM BlackBerry devices can get a

new fix with the company’s 5810.

They were data-only devices, used by professionals, like

lawyers, who needed constant access to their e-mail.

The reputation of the BlackBerry began to change in 2002,

however, when Research In Motion released the BlackBerry

5810.

This was the first BlackBerry to feature a built-in phone.

Alas, the device lacked a speaker and a microphone, so

you had to use a headset to make calls.

2002 – Sanyo SCP - 5300

In 2002 the first flip-phones

were introduced, including the

Sanyo SCP-5300, which featured

a low-quality camera as well.

When Sanyo introduced the

color-screen SCP-5000 a couple

of years ago, consumers got a

glimpse of what cell phones

might be able to do in the

future.

Features which made this phone stand out of

the crowd are :

Vibrant color display

Built-in camera with flash

Compatible with Sprint PCS Business Connection

software

Comes with extended battery; solid call quality.

2002 – T-Mobile SideKick

The Danger Hiptop, also re-

branded as the T-Mobile Sidekick,

Mobiflip and Sharp Jump is a

GPRS/EDGE/UMTS Smartphone

produced by Danger Incorporated.

It featured a 240x160-pixel, 4-bit monochrome display and

was touted as a BlackBerry for the masses.

The handheld provided real-time e-mail and instant

messaging but lacked a speakerphone.

The Hiptop 2, 3, Sidekick iD, Sidekick 2008 and Sidekick LX

(2009) are all manufactured by Sharp Corporation in Japan.

2004 – Motorola Razr V3

One of the thinnest clamshell phones in the world!

Half an inch thin and made of anodized aluminum, the

Motorola flip phone looks and feels absolutely amazing.

There's no dispute: The Razr (pronounced "razor") is

the coolest-looking phone. Period.

Flip it open, and you're confronted by a vast screen that's bright enough!

2007 – Apple iPhone

This phone completely changed

the definition of a Smartphone.

iPhone is a line of smartphones

designed by Apple Inc.

This phone runs on Apple’s iOS

mobile operating system.

Apple created the device during a secretive and unprecedented

collaboration with AT&T, formerly Cingular Wireless.

The development cost of the collaboration was estimated to have

been $150 million over a thirty-month period.

This phone was immediately listed amongst the best inventions of

2007.

As termed by a press release “The Original iPhone” has been

discontinued when its successor iPhone 3G was released.
