History of Mobile Phones

The concept of the mobile phone was originally inspired by mobile rigs, or two-way radios that were often used in public vehicles such as police cars, taxicabs and ambulances. However, such devices were permanently installed in their vehicles and they were unable to be connected to a telephone network, limiting the versatility of these devices.

In 1973, Motorola announced the first hand-held mobile phone which became an iconic status symbol for the rich considering its $3,995 retail pricetag, but the phone was still limited in versatility considering its large battery size. Following the success of this phone, however, Motorola then released the MicroTAC in 1989 which included the novelty space-saving idea of a flip hinge to reduce the phone's overall size when not in use. The StarTAC, later introduced in 1996, solved the issue of overly-heavy mobile phones by weighing in at 3.1 ounces and using a collapsible "clamshell" design where users could fold the device in half when not in use.

Smartphones made their way into the market in the early to mid-90's, with most incorporating PC-like functionality-- including CPU and RAM memory-- as well as cell phone capabilities; such phones grew in popularity for their innovative abilities to send and receive faxes, text messages and e-mail as well as for their mobile web access. Cellular phones also became more attractive in 1998 with the introduction of the "candy bar" design which effectively removed the look of an external whip or stub antenna. In 2002, Sanyo released the first American mobile phone with an integrated camera; the first Blackberry and Sidekick smartphone models were also introduced with full QWERTY keyboards. 2004 then included the release of the popular Motorola RAZR which was coveted for its slim, sleek design with a full set of features.

The infamous Apple iPhone, presented in 2007, set an unmatched breakthrough in technology: touch screen, computing technology, multimedia-playback and a wealth of other luxury features. This device ultimately set the precursor for other phones to match it as a powerful pocket computer, with one of its most notable competitors being 2010's Google Nexus One. Using an integrated Android operating system, the phone is able to transcribe voice to text, deflect background sounds with noise-canceling microphones and provide vocal GPS directions for drivers. With this, past technologies of mobile rigs in comparison to modern, Droid-like phones are ancient history.

Quotes About Cell Phones and Wireless Technology

"Only five or six years ago, it would really take until the Wednesday after opening to sense what word-of-mouth was, ... Now, with cell phones and instant messaging, they tell each other immediately. In a time of extraordinary noise, when there are so many different messages being sent to you, vying for your attention, nothing is more important than one person you know saying, 'I saw a movie and it's fantastic." --Walter F. Parkes (American film producer, b. 1951)

To be happy in this world, first you need a cell phone and then you need an airplane. Then you're truly wireless. --Ted Turner (American entrepreneur, b. 1938)

I'm not going to make movies for people to watch on their [mobile] phones. To me, I'd rather go back to doing some more deep-ocean expeditions. I don't want that grand, visionary, transporting movie experience made for the big screen to become a thing of the past. --James Cameron (American film director, b. 1954)
