These days, our mobile phones are really important to us that its hard to imagine life without them. However, they are a pretty new invention. this article traces the history of the mobile phone and questions what the future holds for it.

The mobile phone began life as the two way radio, which was also called mobile rigs. these were put in vehicles including taxis, police cars & ambulances, although were not strictly mobile phones because they weren’t normally connected to the telephone network. whereas the earliest mobile phones were permanently installed in vehicles, later versions including the transportables, also called bag phones, could also be carried, & can be used as portable or mobile two way radios.

The very earliest mobile phones were called first generation phones, also known as 1g. The 1g reign lasted from the late 1970s through to the 1980s. these devices were the very first real mobile phones, although they were then known as cellular mobile radio telephones, & were based on analogue signalling. the use of an analogue signal was the difference between these first generation mobile phones & their second generation cousins, which was released a few years later.

The very earliest second generation mobile telephones were commercially launched in finland in 1991. While 2g networks were fully digital, the earlier 1g networks were analog. one of the main benefits that 2g networks had over their 1-g predecessors was that phone conversations were digitally encrypted. This was big because third parties could to eavesdrop on calls on analog networks. as well as this, 2g systems were significantly more efficient, which allowed far more mobile telephones to be used. Finally, 2g introduced data services for mobile, including sms text messages.

After the launch of 2-g mobile phones, the previous mobile phone systems were dubbed 1-g. while radio signals on 1-g networks are analog, & on 2g networks they are digital, both the 1g and 2g systems use digital signaling to connect the radio towers & the rest of the phone system.

The earliest pre commercial 3g mobile telephone network was launched in japan in may of 2001. 3-g was later commercially released in Japan on october, 1 2001.

3g is the third generation of mobile phone standards and technology, which succeeded 2g mobile phone technology. the arrival of 3g technologies enabled network operators such as orange to offer their users a larger range of high-tech services. This includes broadband internet, in addition to high tech video calls.

Despite the success of 3g, there’s also been a number of complaints about it. These include criticism over the expense of 3g phones, a lack of network coverage because it’s still a relatively new service and the amount of power that 3g phones use.

Following 3g, we can get excited about the arrival of 4-g technology, which promises to be the best and most advanced mobile phone technology to date.

Thanks for browsing our article about the invention of the mobile phone. as you have probably realised, the mobile phone has come a long way since it was first launched and chances are, it will be developed further still.

2008 promises to be another blockbuster year for mobile phones, and for mobile broadband, with technological evolution taking to brave new worlds, making them boldly go where no phone has gone before!

But what can we expect in 2008? What developments and technologies can we look forward to in the world of mobile phones and mobile broadband, this year?

Foretelling the Future!

Well, first of all, they’re going to be much more advanced than anything we can dream of now! You think 5 megapixel camera phones are good, you wait till you see mobile phones with 8, or even 10 megapixels in! And as for music phones, you can actually see them evolving, and growing ever more advanced. Even now, just 2 months into the year, if you look around, you’ll see more and more technologies being crammed into mobile phones, things like GPS, and proper internet access. And while we’re on the subject of the internet, let’s not forget the really big thing this year: mobile broadband.

Features What We Love!

The big success story of the last two years has been mobile phones with cameras built in, which is pretty cool, because when they first started being released, way back when, no-one knew they’d take off as much as they did. But they, and now we have a world full of mobile phones with 2, 3 and 5 megapixel cameras. In the future, we’ll see at least 8 megapixels, and it wouldn’t surprise if mobile phones crack the 10 megapixel mark! Music phones are going down much the same route, with more memory built in, newer and spanglier music players, and sheer quality oozing out their ears. Something that’s only really taking off as we speak, in the world of mobile phones, is built-in GPS, as more phones are starting to emerge with this ace feature built in. The same can be said of top-end smartphones with proper, fully featured web browsers, something that’s going to be massive in 2008.

Mobile Broadband

It’s fairly obvious that mobile phones aren’t going to drop out of favour any time soon. But there’s another technology that’s shaking up the mobile world, at least as much as the first mobile phone did back in olden times (well, the 80′s…), and that, dear reader, is mobile broadband. As the name suggests it’s broadband. And it’s, erm, mobile. Obviously. What it is, is a whole new way of getting online. Think of the super speed of your internet connection on broadband. Then imagine that you could get that internet speed on your laptop, without needing to hunt down a WiFi hotspot. And with an installation time of seconds, it’s so easy, as well! There’s no question, mobile broadband is the future!
