Cell Phones have been evolving since the time they have been planted on humans. Today it has become an inseparable part of our lives. Say you wake up with the alarm buzzing, then for workout seek an app which plans your workout routines, then you schedule the to-do tasks for the day, listen to music on your way to work/call up people to talk with, search for restaurants or order yourself a good meal ..... ufffffff really its like phones have now become the "caretaker" for us. And just when you realize you gone bored you can find millions of things to do in it - socially, mentally and physically(dating apps, special mention), SO NO MORE BORE.
But taking back all the things all those smart inventory our present day phones have, the phones in the 1990's and 2000's were really worth using. Back then SMS was the Whatsapp and ringtones, the MP3s, ITS NOSTALGIC!!!!! Here are some phones which are the proud ancestors of today's smartphones -
Nokia 1100

Making the list first is - NOKIA 1100. That
first cell phone I was just telling you about? It was this little
guy.First
released in 2003, the Nokia 1100 wasn't the sexiest of
devices — all it really did was make calls, send incredibly short
texts, and run games like Snake
—but
it got the job done.
Motorola Razr

This one was one crazy phone every kid back then desired. The
Motorola Razr
was,
hands down, the coolest-looking phone I have ever owned. Not only was
it a flip phone — quite the desirable feature back in the day —
but it was also slick and futuristic. First released in 2004, the
Razr line had a long and happy life, with its colorful screen,
excellent ring tone selection, and camera giving us all sorts of toys
to play with that our previous black-and-white clunkers had lacked.
All good things come to an end, though, and by the time the
smartphone revolution had begun, the Razr had fallen out of favor. It
did resurface a few years later, though; in 2011,the
first Android-capable Razr—
the
Droid Razr — was released.
Sony Ericsson Walkman Phone

Although
most of us probably associate the word “Walkman” with the
portable
cassette players we
used in the days before not only MP3 players, but even (gasp!) CDs,
there have actually been a few attempts over the years to revive the
brand and spin it into something more modern. In 2005, for example,
Sony
Ericsson released a line of phones capable
of music playback branded with the Walkman name.
Not
going to lie: They looked kind of like bricks (and for the curious,
this one here is a W800 model). The fact that such a brick-like phone
was released in the mid-2000s is unusual, given that the trend has
always been for each successive generation of devices to be thinner
and more lightweight than the ones that came before. I still they're
kind of cute in a weird sort of way…. but maybe that's just me.
The
last Walkman phone was released in 2011. Sorry, Walkman. Some things
just aren't meant to be.
Nokia N Series

| Nokia N Series |
N
series, which ran on Symbian, with its many
features, was probably the most popular and made Nokia the most
desirable mobile phone brand at the time (2007). Of course, the
iPhone soon came along and, with Samsung adopting Android, an
operating system far superior to Symbian, Nokia went into a tailspin
from which Microsoft, which bought the firm’s phone operation, was
unable to engineer an exit. Its was one "king of the ring" back then.
Though its been such long time with the cell phones embedded in our lives, they are still and most probably remain for a long time now. Damn keypads and sliders I MISS YOU!!
