I think the best phone ever made in its time will have to be Nokia 1100.

It was a revolution in its own right.

It had none of these frills found in modern phones, but it had what was actually useful - light weight, great durability, alarm clock with a highly useful feature called SNOOZE, a FLASHLIGHT which is hardly found on phones anymore, and, most importantly, a long battery life.

IMHO the very look at any mobile changed from Nokia 6600,"HISTORIC MOBILE"

I would even call "pre-6600 era" and "post-6600 era"





I love my Nokia 6600,it was a gr8 phone during 2003-04 (I remember purchasing 6600 for 27K on 29Nov'03 with 2 years warranty and 1 yr free Insurance cover)

Good old days!!!!

Three Phones that changed our world:-

1. Nokia 1100, 3310, 3315:- Revolutionized the low end phone market in India.

2. Nokia 6600:- Revolutionized the perception of people towards mobiles..Mobile market would not have been the same if this model wasn't there..The most successful phone model in India till date..

3. Motorola Razr, L6,L7:- Revolutionized the thickness of the phone..Slim is in coutersy these..

Three Phones that Didn't:-

1. Nokia N91:- The first high end N SERIES device which failed to make the desired impact due to its weight, physical HDD, and Sound Qulaity to some extent.

2. Moto Razr 2:- Didn't enjoyed a quarter of the success of its predecessor

3. Sony Ericsson K850:- One of the first 5 MP phone launched in India and that too at an affordable price..Still couldn't make the impact and SE has to shelve it earlier than expected..


My World Changed by Motorola E398 which I bought 4 years back and it still Rocksssssss.

And now my world revolves around my vkewl (Huawei C5330) from Virgin which gives free unlimited wap browsing on my handset along with the other usual stuff..Even the download on mobile is free..What more u can ask for?

[gdatuk]

Nokia's flagship Camera phone 7520 made the camera available at the aam aadmi's mobile.. and yes i do agree iPhone and N95 changed the modern mobile industry. The less famous Nokia 6510 started to make people love compact mobile.. way before RAZr was introduced... P900 series UIQ phone brought a revolution in the Mobile PDA devices

[dreamcatcher]

No one beats the T68i when it comes to mobile revolution.It was the first phone ever to have a color screen and sport bluetooth.Imagine a phone without these.

SE k700i, first phone with a 1.3 mp camera

SE P800i, first PDA to sport a touchscreen and a qwerty keyboard.

You mean S700 right? Cause the K700 had VGA camera.

[dreamcatcher]

Oh yea, sorry. Thanx. also the first phone to sport a CCD lens. S700.

No I don't think so. Sharp was making phones with CCD cameras before S700. Don't remember the model numbers though.

[dreamcatcher]

I am talking about commercial models.Technically, if you speak, there are models in Japan and other parts which had incorporated mobile camera and color screens long before it was available to the european and the asian market.

[krazzy]

Sharp did make commercial models. They were sold in Europe and Asia. It's just that later on they lost some steam, not that they were going very strong to begin with. India never got a taste of Sharp's handsets but they were pretty popular in Europe. Some people have still clung on to their Sharps.
