Mobile Phone History Video

- Matt Faulkner

In light of Sierra's post this past Friday about your first mobile device, I thought this video below might be fitting for today.  A cell phone was probably quite a few people's first mobile device and today mobile isn't mobile without a cell phone (for most of us anyway).  The video below is an interesting snapshot in the evolution of the cell phone.

I see a few I had in there - anybody see an old one that brings back some fond memories?

230 million discarded handsets per year in the US and Europe.

I can't imagine many people actually throw out their old handsets but it's one helluva figure!

I loved my Nokia 7110. For simply calling and texting, that and the 6110 and 6210 were hard to beat! Plus they could take some abuse! I reckon if I dropped my N95 it would explode into a million pieces - not so those old Nokias!
