Game-Changing Cell Phones: Photos (1/7)
![]() |
| (1/7) Apple's (AAPL) iPhone might be the latest game-changing cell phone with its touch screen and media-friendly software, but it's by no means the first. Motorola (MOT) had many early breakthroughs, and Palm (PALM) and Research in Motion (RIMM) took it to another level. It all began nearly 25 years ago …. |

around in a full cycle.. Apple practically created the PDA with the Newton later I believe they sold the os to what would become Palm the Palm founder was I think an Apple emnployee , with that Apple basically started the PDA revolution that brought us the smartphones of today and now again Apple with the iPhone raises the bar and everyonw will soon follow with touch screens and improved software.. the next 10 years will be very interesting for phones in general .
I still have my Newton
What a laugh. Not a single Nokia phone?
Outside of North America, very few people would even consider purchasing a Motorola phone.
RAZR might be a good phone but not if it's butchered by Verizon….my RAZR from Verizon sucks…..doesn't seem at all like what a RAZR is supposed to be. Motorola should refuse to sell to Verizon.
Im sure the person taking the picture or doing the marketing is a big Beck for or Apple might have some kind of deal with him? But I'm going with my #1 thought

are you implying motorola hasn't had a "game-changing" phone? please explain how not knowing someone who owns a motorola phone proves that it had no significant impact on cellular phone technology. motorola invented the modern cell phone.
beck is just cool.
Why is Beck always featured in ads for music devices? I like Beck and listen to him about once a year (like most other people I know who also like Beck). But it just baffles me that his face is everywhere. More power to him. Better than having Maroon 5 or some other such nonsense.
In Europe, the list of game-changing cell phones would look very different. For instance, few people know what a BlackBerry is, but I remember some of my friends doing email with Nokia's smart phones since the late 90s. Also, I can't recall anyone I know ever owning a Motorola cell phone, but I could immediately name several people using Sony-Ericsson, Samsung, and Nokia.







There are so many touchscreen phones to choose from now. I think that all cell phones will be touch screen in the near future.
