Mobile phones history

Do you remember when you bought your first mobile phone? Perhaps you were able to stump up the £3000 needed for a cell phone back in 1985. In recent years, values of early mobile phones have nearly outstripped their cost back in the day. The mobile phone is now also a serious investment as well as an important piece of social history. There are many new innovations developed in the mobile phones here are some of the key ones:
 

3G-3G means 3rd generation mobile communications, putting it simply it’s just a fast means of transferring data (fast internet) most new phones are 3G now, and you have a data plan to use any internet, so, no you can’t use the 3G internet totally free of charge.
 

Wi-Fi- Wi-Fi is a popular technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data wirelessly (using radio waves) over a computer network, including high-speed Internet connections. Using your home internet connection is beneficial in many ways. It's usually much faster than connecting over mobile networks. Also, you won’t be using up any data allowance you may have on your mobile contract.
 

Camera phones- No longer do you have to carry a digital camera, now you will have it on your mobile phone. Some mobile phones have a 12 megapixel camera and HD 1080p video recording, which is at the top end of the digital camera market.
