The first iPhone was presented to the public in 2007, and which models were used to make calls before that? I present to you a selection of iconic phones that were released before 2007.
1.
Nokia N90 
This device was one of the founders of the N-Series line. Its size was amazing - it was a brick, which when folded had a thickness of 24 mm, and its weight was 173 g. But the smartphone was popular, despite its size compared to its competitors, since it had a 2 megapixel camera with optics from a famous manufacturer Carl Zeiss and flash.
2.
Sony Ericsson k750 
A phone that became an icon of its time. It used a massive lid that covered the camera's peephole. The K line from Sony Ericsson united the so-called “camera phones” - phones with an emphasis on shooting quality. The device gained fame thanks to its good photo quality, as well as its fast shell, which, of course, was proprietary.
The success of the phone was determined by high photo quality, excellent battery life, and ergonomics.
3.
Nokia 6300 
And this phone can still be found among some users. Its success lay in its consistent appearance, as well as its membership in the 6xxx line, under the auspices of which the Finnish manufacturer produced devices intended for business users. Stainless steel in the case, small thickness (only 11.7 mm) and compact size ensured the phone long-term fame and indestructibility.
4.
Nokia 8910i 
This phone was of interest to buyers for its unusual opening mechanism and titanium body. In order to gain access to the keyboard, which was very inconvenient, it was necessary to press the buttons on the ends of the device near the screen, after which the phone came out with a characteristic click.
5.
Motorola RAZR V3 
Another representative, this time from Motorola, which was distinguished by its design. The phone had a very thin profile, was made in the popular clamshell form factor, and the keyboard was made of a metal plate, under which there was an electroluminescent backlight of the keys.
6.
Motorola E398 
One of the most famous models of the company, which received popular love for its loud, high-quality stereo speakers, affordable price and neat appearance. A special feature of the device was the ability to turn on vibration to the beat of the music being played. The weak point of the device could only be called the battery - it was enough for only two days of more or less active use.
7.
Siemens SX1 
It was very different from other devices, first of all, in the location of the keys - a number block was placed on both sides of the screen. Not all users liked this arrangement, which negatively affected sales of the model. However, this smartphone has gathered a large and friendly community around it precisely because of its difference from others. In addition, its price was falling rapidly, which made it popular among young people.
8.
Samsung D500 
A slider from Samsung, which received very good ratings from reviewers and also gained popularity among users. Its distinctive feature could be called the presence of an additional accessory that served as a small speaker.
9.
Sony Ericsson P910 
The device from Sony Ericsson had many features typical of a PDA: it had a huge, by the standards of phones and smartphones of that time, display - 2.9 inches with a resolution of 208 x 320 pixels, a hinged lid under which a full-size keyboard was hidden, and also the ability to handwriting recognition
10.
And finally, the most famous and simply indestructible - Nokia 3310 
A phone that probably all mobile phone users know. Even those who have not seen push-button phones have at least heard about this indestructible device. They could crack a nut with it.
===This device, I think, will be used as an example for other phones for many years to come...

First mobile phone 
Nowadays, a generation has grown up that considers having a smartphone something natural and commonplace. But it was not always so. For a long time, simple telephones that could only make calls were either a decent box (for example, car phones), or something more compact, but always connected to the telephone network. But everything changed in 1973, when the world's first mobile phone, the Motorola DynaTAC, was introduced.
13. 
On April 3, 1973, American Motorola engineer and physicist Martin Cooper made the first call on a mobile phone. The world's first mobile phone, the DynaTAC model, weighed 1.15 kg, had 2 thousand parts, and the battery charge was enough for 20 minutes of conversation.
