The Top 10 Most Expensive Cell Phones




Whether you call it a cellular phone, hand phone, mobile phone or smart phone, can you just imagine a world without it? It has become a standard part of our life. And it has actually become more than just a telephone. It is also used for instant text messaging, as a music player, camera, and for browsing through the net. A lot of other gadgets have become obsolete because of it. Because of advances in mobile phone technology, no one uses payphones anymore. MP3 music players are also slowly going out of style, as smart phones have proven more than reliable in serving as replacement.

Even cameras may soon see a decline in usage. This early, creators of point and shoot cameras are announcing the rapid decrease in sales and profits because of the advent of new phones. The mobile phones have the advantage of having the pictures taken with it immediately uploaded to the user’s social media accounts. As a result, camera makers are scrambling to include similar technology in their gadgets. As of now, digital single lens reflex cameras seem to be safe. It won’t come as a surprise, however, if mobile phones eventually replace them as well.

Mobile phones have actually been around since 1946, though the first call from a hand held mobile phone was only made in 1973. The first automated cellular network was launched in Japan in 1979. By 1983, development of the mobile was in full swing with the launching of the DynaTac on a 1G network. Second generation technology was established in 1991, with the third generation being launched ten years later. The introduction of applications, like streaming media, has overwhelmed 3G, however. Fourth generation technology that promises improvement in speed of up to ten times that of 3G have since been introduced.

It is clear that mobile phones are important to us. A lot of us consider them to be an integral part of our lives, so much so that we feel naked and helpless without them.

But how dear and expensive can they get?
