From the telephone, to cell phone and further by Lucia Mitrova

In started with Alexander Graham Bell and hid idea. Idea that one person could be talking to another without being at the same place at the same time. And that's how the telephone was born. To be exact it was build in 1876 in Boston Massachusetts. After that it started evolving, better microphone, rotary dial but it was still the telephone. But after people got the experience talking to anyone, even if that anyone is not near them, they wanted more. Because the telephone you have to at home when somebody calls. And this is, of course, not possible. That is how the idea of a cell phone (or a mobile phone if you want) was born. The patent for mobile phone belongs to Nathan b. Stubblefield of Murray, Kentucky and it was issued on 1908(!). But it was still along way to go for modern cell phone we know. The first modern cellular technology was launches in Finland, in 1991. And in nowdays it is Finland's Nokia, who's the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones. Nokia is followed by American Motorola, German Siemens, Japanese and Swedish Sony Ericsson, South Korean's LG, French Sagem, American Verizon, South Korea's Samsung and many others. Actually the TOP five consists of Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and LG. Of course the evolution did not stop there. Google is about to bring their Google phone, Apple got their iPhone and even a Napster are bringing their one into the competition. It's called Napster phone and it came out as a result of Samsung and Napster cooperation. And apparently it is ready for this holiday season.
