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?

            Since 2003, I was checking your website at least twice daily.
            You are the best phone site ever.
            Thank you very much for what you offered to me. You were so professional and neutral and reliable.

            I miss Nokia so much. I tried to hold my tears when I saw their lost glory, but I could not help.

            Please god, let the legend Nokia come back. We truly miss Nokia!

              Hey,

              I could take the battery of an Xperia X1, put it in the X10, put in the in Xperia Play.

              The most recent one was 2011.

              So it's not THAT long ago, that you could reuse batteries between models from the same manufacturer! :-)

                Nokia and Motorola were at the top of food chain for a long long time. Just remember that slick Nokia 8210 and 8850 made od magnesium and aluminium. Than 8800, plus tons of other. Motorola had amazing StarTac and later groundbreaking V50 and V3 Razr. And rotating V70 was expensive as hell and status symbol. But, new day came along with first iPhone. I remember when I first got my hands on it back in 2007. I was stunned. Pinch to zoom, multitouch, all so clear and simple yet elegant. New dawn came and Nokia was so secure it it too big to fall, that actually fell down. Motorola lost thwir edge in desing and they were never too good in software department. Samsung was average back then, but it grew and it is no1 today, alongside Apple. Alos, LG is strong today, and it wasn't back then. Ericsson which was very good in latw 1990's and first part of '00 just vanished. My prediction is that Samsung will go down a bit and Chinese will became very strong. Also, I bet that Nokia will return with a bang. Motorola is a big name, but they need identity. Motorola is not a mainstream brand, it should be innovative and avantgarde plus expensive like it was....
