First Phone (Alexander Graham Bell)
The creation of the first phone is a matter of debate, but the man who has the strongest claim as "creator" is Alexandre Graham Bell. The function of the original phone was to transmit a bi-directional electronic tranmision. As you can see in the picture, the first phone is kind of odd, nothing as we know right now. -

Push Botton
This was actually the same as the rotary phone, the only difference it had was that they didn't have the rotary device, they had buttons, which you had to push in order to make a call. It consisted of 2 parts, the phone itself which you put in your head, and the base, where the buttons where. -
First Movile Phone
The Motorola DynaTAC 8000X was the first mobile phone that was commercialized, a brick was its form and it had buttons to dial the number. It weighted 1.75 pounds and had a battery that lasted 30 minutes (making calls). However the cost was not so good, it costed arounf four thousand dollars, which made it a little bit difficult for people to buy one. -
Blackberry

Android OS
Thw android company started in the year of 2003, but later Google bought it in 2005, the main porpouse was that they wanted to compete with windows, OSX and blackberry.
