Nokia looks back on its history, admires what it sees


Turn your portable telephony nostalgia up to 11 and join us on a journey down Nokia memory lane. Nokia Conversations have filmed a collection of 100 phones charting the progression through the last 20 years of the Finnish manufacturer's history. Sadly, this Nokia retrospective doesn't stretch so far back as to include galoshes and bike tires, but you can still spend an inordinate amount of time trying to identify handsets just from their profile. We advise caution: this video features some seriously happy people, and our diligent research has failed to determine a cause for this dysfunction. Faux warnings out of the way, read on for the full video.

Wireless picturephone prototypes headed to history museum

History buffs and cellphone aficionados, take note: a couple of wireless picturephone prototypes (circa 1993) have recently been acquired by the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History and should soon be available for all to gawk at. Reportedly, the institution joined with Daniel A. Henderson to get ahold of the two devices and related documentation, which were built to take advantage of a picture / video receiving technology known as Intellect. Notably, this ain't Mr. Henderson's first time donating wares with varying levels of historical significance, as he's also responsible for the Casio Z7000 and Atari Portfolio that are on display. Interested in checkin' the duo out for yourself? Go on and circle summer 2008 on your calender.
