In the past, public phone are often filled with people, and sometimes has to line up to make a call. Now, no more, with the mobile phone held by almost everyone, making communication with other people, regardless of distance very easily, and at a lower cost than ever before.
If looking at the history of mobile devices, it goes back further than 1938, which at that time, through radio communications are used, and more to be a device such as a walkie-talkie, and at that point, given the very beginning, then a simple device-issued over is quite heavy, and not as it is now.
However, if seen from the evolution and history of the mobile phone, it started around 1973, with the Motorola earlier, present a working prototype called the DynaTAC.
Before Motorola present with their first mobile device, the Motorola were already known for their radio devices, and have expertise in mobile. What is interesting is where they developed the first prototype in six weeks, and they present with a variety of designs, before they choose the final design DynaTAC.
In 1992, the line began to be implemented in the 2G mobile telephone, where a device is present at the time, one of which is the Nokia 1011. Nokia 1011 is the first handset that brings the new GSM system support, allow communications

Nokia 9000 Communicator equally bring a full QWERTY keyboard which is the first mobile telephone , while also equipped with an LCD screen on it .
The function uses more or less the same , the design plays a key role in the mobile phone while the Nokia 5110 which comes with a rather interesting design , and the ability to change the outer frame as their favorite color . The Nokia 5110 also includes popular games on the same handset , the " Snake " , and become a popular handset in 1998 .
In addition to the Nokia 5110, Nokia was also present with the Nokia 8810 in 1998, which includes an internal antenna for a call, and bring you some interesting designs, including keyboard cover slide.

The year 2000 was also one of the golden age of Nokia, the most popular device, which is still referred to today, the Nokia 3310. It was introduced in the fourth quarter of 2000, which became a substitute for the Nokia 3210.

WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-HP or smartphone app available for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android and Nokia. This allows us to send and receive messages in the form of text, audio, video and voice services to family and friends without having to pay for SMS and MMS.
From this scenario, I assume that the evolution affect the ways we communicate. From my observations, many of user especially who was addicted with the new gadget, prefer using the WhatsApp
rather than make a call. Maybe the WhatsApp more user friendly and awesome features. The most important thing is ---> IT'S FREE (^_^)
