The 10 Most Important Moments in Mobile Phone History
Our lives are increasingly mobile and our cell phones are not only a way to contact anyone, anytime, anywhere but also our calendars, cameras, photo albums, inboxes, maps, weather reports, dictionaries, and entertainment. Payphones are disappearing as business users edit documents on their Blackberries, kids text each other furiously in class instead of passing notes and celebrities partner with handset manufacturers. We take our cell phones for granted now but it wasn’t that long ago that a cell phone was much like a snow leopard – rare, expensive and exotic. So what happened? What were the technologies that really changed the playing field for mobile? How have our systems of communication changed over the past three decades?
Let us take you on a tour of the most noteworthy mobile moments – from telecomm inventions to handset debuts to appearances in popular culture, we’ve found the top 20 Moments in Mobile Phone History. From must-have handsets to advancements that moved mobile forward, we’re hightlighting watershed occassions, developments and adaptations that made mobile phones an indispensible addition to our lives.
10．1999 – Working Woman magazine and Barbie partner to release the Working Woman Barbie.
Complete with file organizer, large purse, laptop and coffee mug Barbie’s notable accessory here is her included mobile phone. Also comes with a CDROM that allows girls to make business cards, stationary and calendars, WWBarbie says slogans such as “Going to work is fun!” Working Woman Barbie helped to broker the deal between toys and technology, and made the cell phone an in-demand must-have by a whole new generation of young girls. Current children’s toys include a bevy of play cell phones, but Barbie broke the barrier.
9．2002 – Danger Hiptop/TMobile Sidekick is released.
The Hiptop/Sidekick appears with full HTML support and online connectivity, a 240 X 160 LCD screen, USB, POP3, a camera connector and a slick 180 flip screen that revealed a full QWERTY keyboard. Although it wasn’t exactly super-slim, it was the only mobile of its time to factory integrate an IM client making it very popular with deaf users. In 2003, the Sidekick was the first mobile that could place unassisted TTY and Relay Operator calls via the web browser. It was, as they say, hip with the kids. Even Veronica Mars had one, and if it’s good enough for a fictional teen sleuth then it’s definitely good enough for the cool kids on the bus.
8．1996 – Motorola StarTAC appears.
A flip handset remarked upon for its small size (enter obligatory chuckle here), the StarTAC could receive SMS text messages, used a lithium-ion battery and had the first vibrating alert feature on a phone. This was to telephony what color was to television. Initially set at a $1,000 price point, the StarTAC was so popular it was revived in 2004 for a South Korean market and redesigned for a V.I.P. 10th Anniversary Edition. Split handsets into two categories: flip and candybar, appeared in the movie 8mm with Nicholas Cage and paved the way for the Razr.
7．1987- Wall Street/ Gordon Gekko
Michael Douglas’ Gordon Gekko flaunts his wealth with his super-hip FY8850 mobile (on a beach, with his shirt unbuttoned, naturally) in Wall Street. A character that epitomizes greed, wealth and power, his casual use of elite technology in an era marked by brand name status makes a clear statement about the divide between the technology have’s and have-nots. In the past 20+ years, mobiles in movies have evolved from product placement, to thwarting victims in horror movies with poor reception to inevitably becoming part of the plot. In 2004, both the Chinese film Cell Phone and the William H. Macy dud Cellular were released; 2008 gave us One Missed Call.
6．1991 – Radiolinja, the first GSM network opens in Finland.
Radiolinja brings Finland up to speed, with the first U.S. upgrade coming in 1994. Now we’re talking. The benefits of the 2G digital upgrade gave users digitally encrypted phone conversations as well as mobile data services. Ah, digital. We’re talking faster, leaner, cleaner, uses less battery power, gives enhanced user privacy. It also brought the term “dropped call” into popular lexicon while putting an end to cloned cell numbers. It was a short stop from 2G to 2.5G (bundling brings WAP, MMS, email and web access) then a hop, skip and a jump to 2.75G/EDGE (allowing backward compatible technology, hence, faster data transmission rates). Users begin to expect 2G (at least) in their handsets.
5．2003 – Mobile business users get treated to the Palm Treo 600.
Remarked upon for being the most integrated PDA/mobile phone combo of its time, this feature rich handset had a 640 X 480 VGA camera, 32MB of internal memory (and expansion slot), Wi-Fi adapter, USB, SMS, MMS, email, P-Tunes MP3 player, Kinoma video player, resistive touchscreen, and Palm’s own OS and HTML browser (Blazer) and a backlit keyboard. Users could check their calendar while on the phone and dial direct from the contacts list. The five-way navigation button was heralded as being a sizeable innovation as it enabled users to operate the Treo using only one hand, easily solidifying Palm’s place in business users hearts.
4．2001 – NTT DoCoMo launches the first commercial 3G network
Another first for NTT DoCoMo – using WCDMA technology, branded FOMA, DoCoMo’s 3G allowed mobile users simultaneous use of speech and data services and higher data rates. 3G also offered increased security by allowing the handset to authenticate networks it was attaching to, addressing concerns about vulnerabilities while mobile browsing. Verizon and Monet Mobile Networks helped bring the first commercial 3G to the US in 2003. By 2007 there were 190 3G networks operating in 40 countries, with 154 HSDPA networks in 71 countries, cutting the path for mobile TV, video conferencing and location-based services.
3．2009 – Palm Pre brings Palm back.
Much like the Razr did for Motorola, the Pre helped boost Palm back into the modern mobile word. After getting left in the dust, Palm picked itself up and shimmied right into a smooth pebble-type design. Featuring background notification, 3.1 inch multitouch screen, 320 X 480 display, integrated IM, SMS, MMS, Wi-Fi, built-in GPS, a 3mp camera with LED flash, USB, 80g of memory and a freshly redesigned UI in webOS, the Pre also remembered its customer base and offered a customizable inbox and calendar/contact integration. The first mobile to use a TI OMAP 3430 processor, and the first to have a wireless charging base, the Touchstone.
2．2008 – HTC releases the Dream – first Android-based handset.
The first Android phone finally appears in the form of the HTC Dream. With 256MB, 3.2inch LCD flat touchscreen (320 X 480 res), integrated GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3.2mp camera, expansion slot and background processing, the Dream was built as a Linux-based, open-source iPhone challenger. Also called the TMobile G1, the handset included a full array of Google candy: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Maps, Google Talk, YouTube and a limited Google Docs. Often touted with the Pre as the next contender in a long line of “iPhone Killers”, the Dream pulled itself up by its handy notification bar and went to bat for a new non-Apple future. The latest incantation, Droid, is gaining Android plenty of ground.
1．2002 – American Idol premieres.
By allowing its fans to choose their pop sensation winner by calling the singers assigned phone number to vote, AI was a front-runner in integrating mobile with entertainment. AI currently has involvement with both AT&T and Samsung for services running from unlimited messaging plans (for easier voting) and Idol text chat session to ringtones, SMS trivia, even a text reminder of contestant codes. AI, understanding both its fan base and the potential of mobile, was able to explode into a media giant surpassing even the democratic process: in 2007 74 million people voted for rocker David Cook as the “next American Idol,” in 2004 64 million people voted for George W. Bush
