The Mobile Phone Turns 40 Years Old This Month
The first mobile phone call was made on April 4th, 1973, which basically means mobile phones turn 40 years old this month. Motorola was the first company to make a call, followed by a string of others, most notably Nokia. Back then, the idea of a phone not tethered to a landline, regardless of its s ...
Upcycled Vintage Shoes Become Retro Walkie-Talkies That Really Work
I wrote an article last week about the importance of recycling our old smartphones. Now that there are more smartphones on the planet than people, if we don't recycle them properly, they could become the cockroaches of technology. It's always refreshing to see people come up with creative ways to re ...
The Nokia Twist: The Flexible Mobile Phone
If you have followed the technology industry updates the last few weeks, you have seen that some companies, or Samsung rather, is going to introduce a flexible cell phone in the coming future. I have always wondered why a flexible cell phone would be beneficial in the first place. However, now that ...
12 Past Present & Future Corporate Logo Designs
Following the evolution of logos is fascinating. I'm not a designer, but I think one of the keys to a successful logo change is keeping the essence of the original, but making it different, if that makes sense. It's similar to watching someone with a lot of followers on Twitter change their avatar, ...
Nokia Is Alive & Kickin: Achievements In Mobile Technology
When I read last week that Nokia had settled its lawsuit with Apple, I was shocked at the amount of money Nokia would receive. Depending on the source, the amount is somewhere between $600 and $900 million, and that's just in the second quarter. Nokia will also receive future royalties. In my mind, ...
Nokia Timeline: This Is Pure Porn For Nokia Lovers
The day had to come when I had to incorporate "porn" into one of my articles. I have been able to elude the word for 1,401 articles, but this one had it written all over it. I have seen some extensive infographics and timelines in my days, but this one just blows my mind. The number of Nokia models ...

The History Of Mobile Operating Systems [Infographic]
I remember back in 1996 when nobody even knew what a mobile operating system was. I had just graduated from University and moved to Atlanta that year to work at the Olympics. I specifically remember all the bulky heavy computers we had to set up just to access the Internet and make everything run ...
Scope: The Slide Cell Phone Is Back In Action
Ever since I saw The Matrix for the first time, and I saw those guys use Nokia slide phones to get their teleportation going, I have been kind of ditching that whole concept. It wasn't because of the phone itself. After all, back then it was considered cool to have one of those slightly curved Nok ...
Steampunk Makeover: Nokia 2330 Never Looked So Geeky!
Now when pretty much everything has been airbrushed, modded and steampunked by the world, we thought there were nothing else that could be added to the list. But once again, we were wrong. Maybe it's just time to realize that there will always be something cooler around the corner. It's just how ...
This Is How A Cell Phone Keyboard Should Be Done!
The one most argued feature of the cell phone is probably the keyboard. There are really two camps that battle for their way of setting it up. The two are of course the touch screen keyboard which saves valuable space on the phone giving it more screen, and the physical keyboard that works way fas ...
Point and Find | The new real life search engine!
Microsoft and Google are at war with each other when it comes to who presents and owns the best search engine in history. Even though Microsoft is just a baby in the world of search they are still a valid competitor to Google and with the latest features rolled out in Bing, it's not hard to see they ...
Nokia’s Awesome view on The Future | Nanotech Concept Phone
I am in a future technology frenzy right now and I can't believe the things people think up for our convenience. The scale things are heading for is just amazing and honestly I can't wait for the future to arrive. Rather sooner than later. I just saw a presentation of how Nokia imagines the future w ...
The Symbian Opera
These days browsers are big talk for those who use the web like some kind of drug deprived addict. People build up a passionate loyalty to their browser of choice, whatever it may be.
As the web becomes more and more mobile and phones are designed to handle the internet in competitive and intera ...
WiTricity | Wireless Electricity The New Standard
So, we are finally there! And I can't tell you how happy this clip made me from the second I saw the title of it. It's environmentally safe, it's non hazardous as it's not radio waves but magnetic fields that power up your gadgets. And the best thing of it all is that it's cordless. YES! I bet almos ...
Nokia E63 – Poor mans iPhone alternative
I would love an iPhone, most people know this, but unfortunately practicalities stand firmly in my way, too much cost for not enough usage.  As it was time to renew my contract or ditch it I decided to look into the upgrades I could get, with I must say an air of reluctance.
I was paying aro ...
