Much like the Internet, mobile phones changed the world. And they continue to do so.

As a distributor of electronic components, with a lot of them being used to manufacture mobile phones, Abacus Technologies pays tribute to these nifty little gadgets. For this blog, the company takes a nostalgic look back at some of the most beloved mobile phones in history.

Apple iPhone 3G: While the first iPhone ushered in a new age of mobile phones, its effect on the industry was dwarfed by the arrival of its 3G version. Still revered today as ‘the’ iPhone, the iPhone 3G was incredibly user-friendly (much more so than the first one), and opened up the App Store for all to behold. And as everyone knows, apps are what changed the mobile and smartphone industry forever.

Nokia 3310
: No other mobile phone in the rich history of mobile phones is as remembered and as beloved as the Nokia 3310. The 3310 was truly the little phone that could. People recall the strength and indestructibility of this classic among classics. Owners could drop it, and it would still operate like nothing ever happened. It’s ridiculously easy to use and has a battery life that lasts for days. It is so beloved that it was even brought back a few years ago.

Motorola RAZR V8: The RAZR V8 has a special place in the hearts and minds of Motorola users. The phone is Motorola’s answer to the 3310. A pioneer and trailblazer of slim phones, the RAZR V8 is exceptionally convenient to bring along because of its size. Its popularity led Motorola to use its design for years, Abacus Technologies adds.

Headquartered in Naples, Florida, Abacus Technologies is a 50-plus franchised distributor of semiconductors, passives, integrated circuits, LEDs, and other components. For more information about the company’s products and services, visit its official website.
