Smartphones

There is a view that the power Communicator is the CPC with phone functions, and smart phones are phones with features CPC. This explanation is Primitive, but partly true. Appearance stop is not very different from the phones.

The first "smart phone" (smartphone-intellectual, intelligent phone) has become a model Ericsson R380s. Unlike bulky CPC, it was acceptable size (130 x 50 x 26 mm). Weight was also relatively small (169 grams). In appearance apparatus was similar to other models with Ericsson flipami (R320s). It is the main feature flipom concealed R380s touch-screen.

Manufacturers specially emphasized smart devices. Like the Nokia 9000 Communicator, Ericsson R380s called Smartphone.

Although modern standard apparatus could not be considered a complete smartphone. He was not allowed to install third-party applications, OS was closed.

Much closer smartphone concept was to model Nokia 7650. Many consider it the first "smart phone" on the market. The office worked on the Symbian OS, allows third-party applications to install. There were downsides. For example, a small amount of memory (4 MB), the lack of slots for memory cards.

Interestingly, the company has not allocated Nokia advanced devices. Stressing purely hardware features. This form factor (one of the first sliders), a camera, a large screen, support for MMS.

Subsequent smartphones Nokia make not as smart phones. Emphasis has been placed on other functions - design, turning a screen play opportunities to put anything. Nokia smart phones have quickly become popular. As revealed another contrast "smart phones" from the Communicators. Smartphones not progressed as intelligent devices. They are sold alongside conventional phones.

Another way the company has gone Sony Ericsson. Her model R800, R900 and others were too specific to conventional phones. These devices were among communicators and smartphones.

Besides Nokia and Sony Ericsson, Symbian- solutions were from other producers. Siemens, Sendo, Samsung.

You may recall Linux smartphones. For example, Motorola machines for the Chinese market, Haier N60 model.

On the way Windows Mobile Smartphone for the first Windows smartphones. A trial balloon was having in 2000 Avenger. While it is the first boy with the attendant consequences. In 2001 came Sendo Z100, in the next year-HTC Canary. In 2003, there were more than one stop on Windows Mobile. This HTC Tanager and Voyager, Red-E SC110, Samsung SCH-i600, Mio 8380, Motorola MPx200. Neubivaemy "motor" was the first officially supplied to the Russian market Mobile- Windows smartphone. Where and justified his nickname. Largely because of a solid body. Masters even raised its Windows Mobile 5.0.

Since 2004, development has become a nightmare WM- avalanche. As of Communicators, the leader was a company HTC. Her platform HTC Typhoon, Hurricane, Tornado and others distributed under numerous brand names.

Home, smart phones no longer perceived as just lots phones. Increased functionality put them on a par with Communicators. Many have claimed smartphones and communicators to the same type of devices.

This view was reinforced after the so-called line of multimedia computers N-series from Nokia. And also with the development of corporate QWERTY- stop (HTC S620, S650, Motorola Q, Samsung i320, i600, Nokia E61/E61i). These devices were heirs BlackBerry from the Canadian company RIM.

But not explicitly equate smartphones and communicators. This is different devices. They have a similar, and features.
