Timeline Of Phones From The Past 30years by Nobody: 8:12pm On Dec 08, 2014
It's been 30 years since the first
commercially available handheld mobile
phone was released. A lot has changed
since then!
1983
THE MOTOROLA DynaTAC 8000x
Mobile pioneers Motorola released the
now-famously named 'brick' handheld
mobile in the US in 1983, costing nearly
$4000.
1987
NOKIA MABIRA CITYMAN 900
Europe's answer to the 'brick,' with its
huge battery this phone weighed 800g
and cost nearly 4,600 Euros.
1989
MOTOROLA MicroTAC 9800x
The smallest phone of its time, this was one
of the first mobiles to be able to actually fit
in your pocket.
1992
NOKIA 1011
Nokia made history with the first mass
produced 'candy bar' type GSM phone.
1993
IBM SIMON PERSONAL COMMUNICATOR
The first touchscreen PDA and phone
combination. Only produced for 6 months.
1996
MOTOROLA StarTAC
The first clamshell phone from Motorola
was also the world's lightest at the time.
1996
NOKIA 8810
Its near-indestructibility, ease of use and
long lasting charge made this mobile
incredibly popular.
2002
ERICSSON T39
This very small mobile phone was the first
to utilise Bluetooth.
2002
NOKIA 3510i
One of the first mass-market phones to
feature a colour screen and GPRS internet.
2003
NOKIA N-GAGE
This attempt to take down the Gameboy
resulted in something that wasn't that
great at being a phone or a console.
2004
MOTOROLA RAZR V3
This sleek and stylish looking flip-phone
was amazingly this for its time.
2006
LG CHOCOLATE KG800
LG continued the trend of stylish looking
affordable mobiles with the attractive
Chocolate.
2007
APPLE iPHONE
The original smartphone was an instant
classic, completely rethinking te way
mobiles were used.
2008
BLACKBERRY STORM
Blackberry's 'iPhone Killer' was the
company's first mobile to ditch the QWERTY
keyboard.
2010
APPLE iPHONE 4
The fourth generation of Apple
smartphones incorporated a range of
updates, including a new design and faster
processor.
2011
SAMSUNG GALAXY S2
This award winning mobile knocker Apple
off the top spot as the greatest
smartphone manufacturers of all time.
2012
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2
Samsung continues to improve upon their
larger 'phablets' with the creatively
powerful Galaxy Note 2.
2013
HTC ONE
The recently released 4G-ready HTC One
has received rave reviews, and is billed to
'completely reshape the smartphone
experience.'
2013
SAMSUNG GALAXY S4
Due to be released later this year, early
reports have pegged this super-smart
phone as the next evolutionary step for
Samsung.

Re: Timeline Of Phones From The Past 30years by DAVE5(m): 1:27am On Dec 09, 2014
pictures wld make dis topic a lot more interesting, abi my people wetin una think nah

but I don't understand what HTC one, note 2 and the s4 are doing on this list, or is dis am attempt to mention phones for dia popularity?
a note 1 shld take d place of d note 2 since it was probably d first phablet to break grounds,
also d s4 should be replaced by a galaxy note edge,
while d HTC should be scrapped off d list cos itz irrelevant in so many ways
