Video: The Evolution of Mobile

Watching the way the mobile market has changed in even the last two years has been astonishing. If thinking back to the release of the myTouch 3G gets you feeling nostalgic, how about digging through the cobwebs to recall the Motorola “Brick?” That device has influenced the way we communicate today, and so has the earliest BlackBerrys, the Nokias, and even the HTC Desire with Android.

Vodafone has got together with some very talented artists and some 3D projecting mapping equipment to show that evolution and just how far mobile communication has come. From the Brick to the Desire, from interchangeable face-plates to Google Maps, it’s truly an amazing video. After watching, I’m sure you’ll agree that Vodafone takes the words right out of your mouth: what’s next?

Skipped right over the color screen, flip, sidekick, camera phone, palm, first windows, razr, iPhone and could have ended with an EVO instead. Good video but not great.

This commercial or whatever it is, is missing so many phones detrimental to the success of many popular phones today (and they are quite a few of them). They start off with the Motorola "Brick" but didn't include other cordless telephones that were thinner and weren't bricks. And they missed another milestone in cell phone technology, the Motorola Razr, with the success and craze about the thin-ness of this phone companies have since been competing to make their devices thin as possible. The Desire didn't start the craze over having a touch screen phone, it isn't an HTC device that manufacturers try to top and mimic when they are making phones, it isn't etc.... why would you end the video with that phone? Fail.

Why no flip phones? The Razr in particular? Entertaining, but severely lacking if it skips from bar phones, to blackberries, to sliders.

I was thinking the same thing. Im not sure but seeing this video is made by qualcom, it could be only showing phones with qualcom technology in them. Just an idea
