GSMArena.com turns 15: A video trip down memory lane

15 June 2015
Remember the times when the most exciting feature of your new phone was the number of pre-installed ringtones? Or the times when we measured storage by the number of entries the phonebook would take?

" owning a phone created an emotional attachment - a bond, if you will - that you can hardly get with an everyday object today"

Well it's not quite right :)
There is one device which still creates an emotional attachment: The iPhone :)
I'm sure most iPhone user would agree.
And...
If you don't have an iPhone you don't have an iPhone.

      what is strange, back in 2000 to 2008 i used to change phones frequently. Nowadays i try to stick to one model at least for a year. With a price tag phone=laptop is hard to change them every 3 months ;)

                                  Happy Birthday, GSMArena ! Wish you guys all the best !

                                  Is it too sad that I can name most of the models on the picture (if not all) ? :))))
                                  I think I've been in the mobile phones business for too long (since 1999) :(

                                    HBD to GSMArena!

                                    I have one suggestion. Maybe we should have a page on the website wherein we can discussed what Mobile Phones will offer 25 year in future.

                                    In 2040, we will be discussing about Samsung S6, Iphone 6 and other smarphones.

                                    So let's have a page dedicated to what Mobile Phones will be in 2040.

                                    Cheers!
                                    Niks
