Remember those big ‘ole brick cell phones? The ones that Gordon Gekko made look so darn cool in the movie Wall Street? We do too. Cell phones have had quite the transformation throughout their existence and they are currently still evolving. Check out our pics of some of the most influential and popular cell phones throughout history. From the pioneer, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000, to Apple’s iPhone and Google’s first Android phone, the HTC Dream.

Ian Bell at 9:37am 11th November 2009 I had the Nokia 5110. I Think it was either free with plan or super cheap. My first major phone was the Sony Ericsson T68i (I think thats the model) which had Bluetooth. I remember thinking that Bluetooth was sweet, but I had nothing to connect it too! haha

Ian Bell at 9:30am 11th November 2009 I remember when the Handspring Visor came out. I thought it was badass. Didn't like using the Palm graffiti to type on it though.
