Motorola RAZR V3
The Motorola RAZR V3 was a resounding success for an entire generation, dominating the 2000s as the best-selling cell phone until the arrival of the first iPhone. Its innovative and extremely thin design, when compared to the “bricks” of the time, made it an icon of cell phones in flip format. Furthermore, it was one of the first to introduce an integrated camera (0.3 MP). Launched in July 2004, the device maintained its popularity until 2010, when it was overtaken by 3G, Wi-Fi and touchscreen technologies, which came to dominate the market. The RAZR line was recently revived by Motorola, maintaining the design and flip format, however, now with a foldable touchscreen.
Samsung Corby

Launched in July 2008, the LG Messenger GT360 with retractable QWERTY keyboard became a hit, especially among young people who loved exchanging SMS and MSN messages.

The Nokia 3310, launched in September 2000, is one of the most iconic cell phones in the history of mobile telephony. Known for its robustness and long battery life, this device has won the hearts of millions of users around the world. With its rugged design, intuitive keypad and legendary “Snake” game, the Nokia 3310 has become synonymous with durability and reliability. Even following two decades, the device is still remembered with fondness and nostalgia, being considered a true classic of the cell phone industry. With GSM technology and an 84 x 48 pixel screen, the device allowed you to view a screen saver and wallpaper. There were two batteries, one removable, nickel metal hydride, 900 mAh and another internal lithium-ion, 1,000 mAh.

The Nokia C3 was a hit during the QWERTY keyboard craze. Offering an affordable option with this type of keyboard, the device had a good-sized screen, modern yet understated design, and Wi-Fi connectivity. Plus, it had social media apps and a 2.4-megapixel camera, making it a great value choice when it launched in 2010.

Launched in March 2007, the Nokia N95 was one of the most iconic smartphones of its time. With a 5 megapixel camera, integrated GPS and 3G connectivity, the device stood out for its versatility and advanced features. Furthermore, the N95 was one of the first devices to offer the “smartphone” concept, with access to the internet and a variety of applications.
BlackBerry Curve 8520
BlackBerry Curve 8520
Released in early 2009, the BlackBerry Curve 8520 was more professionally styled and neutral yet offered all the functionality its predecessors had. The BlackBerry brand targeted its devices at a more adult, work-oriented audience. The Curve 8520 already had support for Word and PowerPoint files, for example. While BlackBerry devices were expensive, as was the iPhone, the Curve was a more popular and affordable option that enjoyed great success until it transitioned from the QWERTY keyboard to the touchscreen.
iPhone 3G
iPhone 3G
Apple’s first generation of smartphones was a global success that continues to this day. In 2007, the first iPhone was released, but it was in 2008 that the 3G version arrived in Brazil, conquering the world with its more modern design and a touchscreen with a pleasant and advanced interface compared to competitors. Apple firmly established itself in the mobile handset market and began to set trends. However, the price of the iPhone 3G was scary, available only in two memory options and prices: R$ 1,200 (8 GB) / R$ 1,500 (16 GB), considering that the value of the real at that time was different, these values would be equivalent to double today. The iPhone 3G has become a benchmark for elite and business-oriented handsets, completely surpassing the BlackBerry. I invite you to meet every iPhone ever releasedwe have material that shows all of them.
