History of the smartphone by SecurEnvoy

Considered the top executive toy, the mobile phone follows us everywhere!

It might seem hard to believe but the mobile phone was first introduced in 1985. Just twenty seven years later and the device that we now love is hardly recognisable to those first Motorola handsets.
