No matter how hard it is to believe but there were iconic mobile phones before the year 2007. Why is 2007 so special in the gadget world? Well that is because Apple launched its first iPhone.

BlackBerry Pearl 8100

The Pearl from BlackBerry is no longer in the market as RIM discontinued the production of this smartphone. But at the time when it was released it created quite a flutter in the smartphone market.

The last Pearl series to be manufactured by RIM was in May 2010 after which they did away with this series.

With the introduction of camera as well as the media player, RIM was trying to expand its customer base from businessmen to the normal person as well.

At one point this phone was the first phone for many people. This phone was sturdy and came with amazing battery life.  This phone looked after itself; even a fall couldn’t break its spirit. This phone is still going strong that many people haven’t stopped using it since the day they purchased it.

Sony Ericsson W810i

I fell hopelessly in love with it because of its stunning features despite its simple design. Take note: no need to buy an extra iPod for your music-on-the-move-with-style necessity. No need of extra camera.
