Physical Look of Cell Phone Progression

The First Cell Phone
As many people might know the first cell phone was abnormally huge from what would be seen today. The cell phone was so huge that it was not likely to be a mobile device, but instead a car phone. In the article, The first cell phone was made by Motorola.  In the article “The Evolution of Cell Phone Design between 1989-2009,” the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, was made available an resembled a brick.  It was white in color with large dial buttons and an eight inch black antenna on top (Webdesigner depot, 2009).

A Big Leap!
Between 1996-2005 cell phones took a real turn as screen display, menu options, SMS messaging, music downloading, and camera capabilities became available (Webdesigner deopot, 2009). These phones were small and sleek, some flip phones others just small.   Motorola RAZR, BlackBerry, and PalmOne are amongst the cell phones that became available during this time.




Recent Cell Phones and Today!
In 2007 the first iPhone came out along with the LG Voyager (Webdesigner depot, 2009). These phones are equipped with touch-screen panels and dull sides. Today the iPhone is still a hot commodity and the Andriod came out with the Droid.  These phones are completely touch screen phones and easy to fit in pocket.
