In a world where mobile phone industry progresses with an
incredible pace and we are left with no choice but to keep up with the latest
trends in the mobile phone world, some of us have forgotten how this game
changed, we have forgotten what were the main players that changed the mobile
phone industry forever and gave it a new direction. I have listed down the top
5 phones of all time that gave the mobile phone world a new direction and
things were no more the same in the industry.
Motorola Dynatac
This was the time when a portable phone was considered a gimmick
– something to show off. Of course, no one realized at that time that this was
the birth of a whole new industry that will reshape the world we live in.
Motorola Dynatac (Motorola Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage) -
was commercially offered in 1984 for up to $3999.99, its ads are hilarious to
watch now in 2015, it only had 30 minutes of talk time and 8 hours of standby
and it could only save 30 contacts in the list.
This phone is important because it’s the first portable
phone that was offered commercially to public. Although it may look like a
brick but phones these days are direct descendants of this brick looking
portable phone.
HTC HD2
This phone may sound like a weird choice for the list of one
of the best phones ever but this was an important phone for a couple of
reasons. First of all, its screen was
huge for that time, it was 4.3 inch display. Back in 2009, the iPhone had what
was considered as a big display but HTC blew it away in both size and
resolution. It also featured 1 GHz snapdragon processor which made it the most
powerful phone of that time. What makes this phone incredibly special is that
it can run every operating system ever. It runs windows 8, it can run Ubantu
Firefox OS, and it can even run android 4.4 kitkat as well. Now that is something.
With the crazy software support and amazing specs, the HTC HD2 was one hell of
a phone.
Motorola Droid
This phone came out in late 2009. One special thing about
this phone was that this phone was the first phone that had Android 2.0 as its
operating system. This phone became the official image of Android vs. Apple war
that still carries on today. As a matter of fact, this phone was so popular
that people called every android phone a droid. This device was a kind of like
flagship device for all the android devices and you can think of it as a Nexus
before the series even existed. It received official updates for two years and
kept on getting unofficial updates even after that and people installed ROMs in
it to keep up with the device.
Apple iPhone
Before Apple iPhone, cell phones had keypads and did not
support touch display and had antennas on top of them. After Apple iPhone, cell
phones changed, android came along to compete, phones started to support touch
displays and they became smoother to keep up with the new player. When Apple
gets into something, things get competitive.
Nokia 3310
This is easily the greatest phone of all time. Although
there were a lot of Nokia phones that came out around the same time, this phone
had to be the best phones of all time because this is the phone people think of
when people think of classic phones. It was the first phone to ditch the
plastic antennas, it was the first phone to have a screensaver, it had a
battery life for days and days, and it had numerous custom designs. Most importantly,
this phone was and still is indestructible because of how compact it was. You
could scratch the phone, no problem. You could drop the phone, no problem. You
could step on it, no problem. A truck runs over it, no problem. People have
made YT videos about it being hit by a bullet and trust me; it takes a bullet
better than any other phone out there.
