Nokia 3510
MOBIDEV: Mobile Experience Blog
My first ever experience with a mobile device was back in my Grade School years when handheld cellular phones had just hit the markets and were made affordable to the masses, in place of the big, bulky, antennaed radiophones. It was a Nokia 3510, something that would make kids from the new generation wonder or roll their eyes at, though back in my time it was a wonder-machine and to have such a high-end phone at that age was already a privilege. Much like how smart phones are nowadays, but more awe-inspiring because of it's novelty in that age.
The phone is simple -- maybe even insufficient for many -- in today's standards, but its features were already complex then, with animated games and polyphonic ringtones that were unavailable in older models. It is, compared to the mobile phone pioneers and other smart phones, still more lightweight. Another bonus was how users could completely change the look of the phone with casings and lights that could also give them a look at the computer machinery that worked inside, compared to simply providing them with "housings". Its face value also did not depreciate that easily, making it last long in the hands of careful, loving owners. Lastly, a feature of the Nokia 3510 and similar phones that made them taken for granted back then but yearned for by old fans now is their extreme durability -- a hardness so often amazing that it has now been turned into a meme to express such power impossible of defeat.
Sadly, before I could even relish my new phone and say "forget the monochrome graphic, everyone has to deal with it anyway," came the newer, colored LCD displays. They even made one for the 3510, and called the new look, the 3510i. I never got to try it though, since I did not need to change my phone until a few years later, when my fiddling hands slipped and I broke the screen. I could have had it repaired -- it was a meager amount then -- but my father deemed it better to replace it with something new and in vogue. In the end, it was a bittersweet moment, as I had to say goodbye to an object I had treasured for years, but at the same time, I was moving on with something new. I still remember it though, whenever I see random people still with phones from those days. Huhu. *insert tears of sadness here*
To cap this entry off, I think that the mobile technology has gone a long way, and will still continue to evolve -- rapidly, at that -- judging from its current phase of development. In a few decades or centuries time, it would be no longer be as easy to claim as impossible to have phones as windows or portals where people can travel through at any time, because at the moment, in terms of connectivity, we have already started with step one a long time ago.
