The last 20 years had been marked with technologies people would not have imagined to be created. This is a list created by Iain Thomson and Shaun Michaels of San Francisco. It is surprising that looking at this recap, we would find and see that mobile phone technology has gone through a long way. (This is part 2 of 3)

6. 3G

Mobile Internet at its finest. 3G has changed the landscape on how to browse using a mobile phone. While some argue that 3G is not exactly what most people toute it to be, as the battery life is usually very short when 3G is on.

5. SMS

Clearly, the UK is one of the biggest SMS users in the world. Trailing only after Asian countries such as the Philippines, Britons understand how SMS is easily one of the bestest inventions within the last 20 years.

SMS has perhaps set the landscape for communication, making it easier for people to communicate. The appeal of SMS is simple and direct to the point.

4. Symbian

Symbian is one of the most common mobile phone operating systems. It came about as a common decision by Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and Psion so that they would not have to compete on the creation of software. It can be said that Symbian is the original Android of the mobile phone industry.
