Mobile phones xD

Well,by this time our teacher asked us to write something about the revolution of mobile phones or just something about them.In this case i'd like to write something about the history of these phones and how they evolutioned into the latest ones.

1973
Motorola touts a prototype of the world's first mobile cellular phone, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X. It's more than a foot long, weighs nearly 2 pounds and sells for $4,000. However, it wasn't commercially available until a decade later.

1982
Finish handset maker Nokia introduces its first mobile phone, the Nokia Mobira Senator. The device looks very much like a portable radio and it weighs a whopping 21 pounds.
1993
BellSouth/IBM unveil the world's first mobile phone with PDA features, including phone and pager functionality, calculator and calendar applications, as well as fax and e-mail capability. The BellSouth/IBM Simon Personal Communicator weighs 21 ounces and sells for $900.

1996
Motorola debuts its StarTAC mobile phone, merging fashion and functionality into the cell phone. It weighs 3.1 ounces--light by even today's standards--and it is a clam shell device.

2000
Kyocera introduces its QCP6035 mobile phone, the very first widely available Palm OS-based phone. It costs between $400 and $500 but only included 8MB of memory.

2002
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.

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.

2006
The BlackBerry Pearl 8100 is the first from RIM to include a digital camera and media player and it's also the smallest, thinnest BlackBerry--currently, the company's 8800 series of devices are the thinnest it offers.

2007
Apple releases the iPhone, a beautifully designed device that includes an innovative--and much hyped up-touch screen navigation interface.
Well here you can see de diference between the old DynaTac and the new Iphone.

In my opinion the mobile phone really changed the society. All the world is more communicated and people have less difficulties in finding someone.But this brings some disadvantages too,people lose a lot of verbal communication because of this and reaching some critical level this destroys friendships and other relationships.But I personally think if people had a more mature vision on what they are doing and the harm they are doing to themselves, this problem would never become common.
