History and evolution of mobile phone
2010
Here I would like to share the evolution in mobile phone how the different mobile phone company came in mobile market and generate such huge market place and communication system.

1973
- Motorola has invented prototype of the world’s first mobile cellular phone, it name was Motorola DynaTAC 8000X. It’s length was more than a foot, weighs almost 2 pounds and prices for $4,000. However, it wasn’t commercially offered until a decade later.
1982
- Nokia introduces its first mobile phone Finnish handset maker, the Nokia Mobira Senator. The system looks very much similar to a portable radio and it weighs a whopping 21 pounds. Yikes. It was very popular due to its special physical features.
1993
- IBM or BellSouth reveal the global’s first mobile phone with PDA features, including pager and phone functionality, calendar and calculator applications, as well as e-mail and fax capability. The IBM Simon Personal talker weighs 21 ounces and person could buy it in for $900.
1996
- Motorola presents its StarTAC cell phone, merger fashion functionality into the cell phone. It weighs 3.1 ounces–light by even today’s standards–and it is a clam shell devices.
2000
- Kyocera launches its QCP6035 mobile phone, the very first usually available Palm OS-based mobile phone. It costs was between $400 and $500 and included 8MB of memories.
2001
- Before Palm acquired Handspring, the company released its flip Treo 180 Mobile phone, which came in two versions. The Treo 180 was available with a QWERTY keyboard as well as in a split version with content input technique called Graffiti.
2002
- The Danger Hiptop, which later became known as the T-Mobile Sidekick, hits the mobile space. It is one of the first mobile devices to include a quality Web browser, reliable e-mail access and instant messaging, as well a unique swiveling form factor. (PCWorld.com later went on to name the device its 2003 product of the year.)
- Sanyo and Sprint make the Sprint SCP-5300 PCS available, and both companies claim it’s the first mobile phone in the United States to include a digital camera. Image quality is, however, less than impressive.
- The BlackBerry 5810 hits the market in 2002, and though it’s not the first BlackBerry, it’s the first such device from Research In Motion (RIM) to include voice functionality–though a headset is required because it doesn’t have an external microphone or speaker.
2004
- Motorola announces its RAZR v3 cell phone and starts a trend toward ultra-thin, stylish phones that’s still influencing mobile device manufacturers today. The RAZR v3 is a “cool” device that everyone, from high schoolers to businessmen, wants. It’s still one of the most popular mobile phones, and its one of the few handsets offered by the majority of major cellular carriers.
2006
- RIM, known for its high-end business phones and trustworthy “push” e-mail technology, makes its first venture into the consumer space with the BlackBerry Pearl 8100. The device is the first from RIM to include a media player and digital camera and it’s also the nominal, thinnest BlackBerry–currently, the company’s 8800 series of devices are the thinnest it offer.
2007
Apple presents the iPhone, a brilliantly designed device that includes an innovative–and much hyped up–touch screen steering edge, which doesn’t require the need of a stylus. The device is available wholly through AT&T in the United States, and it comes in a 4GB version for $499 and an 8GB version for $599.
