Released in 2003, the Sanyo SCP–5300 was one of the first phones to include a camera. By today’s standards, the SCP–5300’s camera is pathetic. It had a built-in flash with a range of only three feet. Still, this phone broke ground,

The Motorola RAZR represented the culmination of the flip phone. Unable or unwilling to experiment with new designs, mobile phone companies continued their push for smaller and smaller phones. However, the RAZRs popularity rapidly declined in the face of a new generation of touchscreen smartphones.

BlackBerry smartphones were the ultimate business phone. Now that touchscreen smartphones have proved themselves worthy, BlackBerry has fallen rapidly, with many failed attempts at touchscreen smartphones, and is currently struggling to survive.

The iPhone was introduced in 2007.The iPhone quickly showed just how clunky previous smartphones were. The iphone is now the leading phone in the market.
