According to statistics, as of 2008, there were 304.7 million cell phones bought around the world. If anything, this reveals that people could care less about the economic crisis once these gadgets are involved. Cell phones have become a part of our lives. And since their creation, they have been indispensable trade and leisure tools. They have revolutionized our social processes, shortening dista nces between people, strengthening links and simplifying methods of correspondence. Mobile phones may very well be the symbol of our generation. After all, almost everyone who can afford it owns a cell phone.
Motorola was the first company to issue a portable, non vehicular cell phone prototype and this was named the “radio telephone system”. This later became the impressive wireless system of communication that we are closely familiar with today. As several more years passed, other companies took a hand at developing and manufacturing mobile phones; this time, with more sophisticated designs and features. Innovation sprung forth different cellular phone categories with varying functionalities, from basic phones, to feature phones, camera phones, music phones and smart phones.
Motorola is still in the business and has done well at continuing its legacy. In fact, it remains to contribute beneficial inventions to the constantly growing population of mobile phones, taking almost 9% of the market share for 2008. The RAZR series was among its most notable models, which donned a stylish and sleek flip design. Although its specs fall less in comparison to other cell phone brands, especially concerning battery life and camera quality, the RAZR did receive a warm welcome from the public upon its release and even defeats the next brand in sales.
Sony Ericsson, an commercial competitor, works to upscale the facets Motorola fails to deliver impressively. Though it rates lower in sales as compared to the latter, it did however manage to snag the public’s favor. Taking about 8% of the total market share for 2008, Sony Ericsson is currently one of those who lead the industry with its ground breaking mobile phones. This company, established back in 2001 through the merger of two huge corporation, Sony (which fundamentally is involved in electronics) and Ericsson (a Swedish telecommunications company), successfully dominated the scene with the release of their Cybershot and Walkman series. With these, the company was able to standardize how music and camera phones. Possessing huge storage capacities, kick ass sound systems and vivid imagery, the Cybershot and Walkman series became one of the most sought after phones for a time. The XPERIA collection, Sony Ericsson’s trademark smart phone and latest offering, now incorporates Windows Mobile OS, which gives consumers a unique and complete technological experience.
Now, it may come as a surprise to some, but Samsung actually defeats both Motorola and Sony Ericsson in its market share for last year. This mobile phone brand took 16% of the total, following Nokia’s 38%. Samsung is not purely a telecommunications company but it does compete well with other brands. The same as Motorola, Samsung aims to provide consumers with handy, elegant, advanced but user-friendly phones.
These companies continually compete with each other, further pushing the limits of technology in their creations. This, in turn, grant mobile phone users more choices for their communication tools.
