I ran across an article yesterday that took me for a little trip down smartphone memory lane: From Brick to Tile: We Look Back at a Decade of Smartphone Evolution<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Kyocera<\/a>

Kyocera 6035<\/p><\/div>\n

The article walks through a brief history of smarphones, starting around the year 2000 and moving to recent phones dominated by Android and the iPhone. This little write-up reminded me of my own smartphone past. I’ve not owned anything other than a smartphone starting with my very first cellphone, the Handspring Treo 300 back in 2003, which was not only my first phone, but also my first cell phone service. I remember doing a lot of research before jumping into the cellphone world, and had my eye on several phones at that time. I remember following a couple Kyocera phones before going pulling the trigger on a purchase. The first one I remember looking at was the Kyocera6035<\/a>, which was a black and white Palm PDA in the form of a phone (it was big!), and then shortly after that, the Kyocera 7135<\/a>, which had a much more compact flip phone form (and a color screen!). I can also remember keeping a close eye on the Danger Hiptop<\/a> (later named the Sidekick), which was a pretty cutting edge phone at that time. I ultimately settled on a Handspring Treo 300<\/a> (pdf) as my entry into the smartphone revolution. It was a great little phone, and I loved being connected to the internet wherever I was at.<\/p>\n

It’s been interesting to watch where things have gone since the early smartphone days, and as they become much more common, it will be fun to see what the future holds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
