It is truly a rare occurrence to find someone who does not use a Mobile phone in this millennium. Irrespective of a person’s social milieus, age, or otherwise gender, Mobile Phones have in fact become an integral part in all of our lives. However, were you aware of the fact that Mobile Phones have reached the present stage of development by going through a certain evolutionary Process? So, from today’s blog, Let’s explore some of the notable milestones marked in the timeline of this wonderful tech gadget!

The history of Mobile Phones dates back to the year 1908, and this was when the US first issued a patent for a wireless telephone. However, this incident had not been formally acknowledged as the advent of a Mobile Phone. In fact, after years of continuous Research and Development, the DynaTAC 8000x was introduced in 1983, as the first-ever portable cell phone available for consumers on the market. Even though this device was sold at an incredible price point of $3,995, the phone was a success. Especially, this Mobile Phone had a talk time of 30 minutes including six hours of standby time apart from the feature of storing 30 Phone numbers.

Later, in the year 1992, Motorola’s International 3200 was introduced as the world’s first digital Mobile Phone. Basically, this device was working solely in the GSM 900 MHz band whilst its flexible "rubber duck" antenna was two-thirds as long as the phone's case. However, resembling the other mobile phones introduced in precedence, this Phone also took the shape of an elongated brick. In fact, owing to its shape, this device was known as knochen in German, which means the bone, when translated to English!

In the meantime, the Nokia 8810 was released to the market as the most luxurious phone of all time. Encompassing special features such as a slider, internal antenna, five-line monochrome graphic display as well as Chrome Plating in the exterior, it was designed by Nokia to be the Company’s flagship device at that time.

However, Nokia Company did not stop there. They also took measures to introduce the Nokia 6110 as the first mobile phone which was integrated with an ARM Processor. Nevertheless, this model has been just one in the long lines of Nokia six thousand series, which had been deployed in the market. Withal, the Nokia 3310, that had been manufactured by the same finish company also managed to set a world record by being the best seller mobile phone in the era. Being Sold in more than 126 million units worldwide, this device surprisingly maintains a huge customer base even at Present!

Moreover, BlackBerry introduced its Model 5810 in 2003, encompassing features of email as well as a QWERTY Keyboard. However, appearing as one of its major drawbacks, this phone did not have a built-in speaker, whilst requiring users to plug headphones whenever they wanted to make phone calls. As a result of this, Blackberry Company took immediate measures to redress this issue by introducing models such as its Blackberry 6210, which in turn had a built-in microphone apart from the speaker.

The climax of the evolution of Mobile Phones was finally reached in the year 2008, when HTC Dream aka T-Mobile G1, was introduced as the first, commercially available smartphone with an Android Operating System. As per the announcements made by T-Mobile In April 2009, the company had been able to sell over a million units in the United States, whereby accounting for two-thirds of the devices on its 3G network. Also, as per the Ad Mob estimates in March 2009, this device had been able to reach a market share of 6%, specifically in the US.

In fact, ever since reaching this remarkable milestone, Mobile Phone Companies are Pacing rapidly towards introducing Smart Phones incorporated with the most luxurious features such as sapphire crystal displays, titanium exteriors, etc. in addition to the high tech in built- Software, 8K Video Cameras, advanced biometric systems, to name a few.

However, the technology integrated into these devices may further evolve, by making those gadgets we see in contemporary fiction a reality. Someday, we might even end up with a touch

free technology, which would probably work in response to our thoughts, thereby being the tech-counterparts in our lives.
