Cheap Mobile Phones: the Story of Human Solidarity

If you will take a trip down the memory lane you will encounter a world without mobile phones. But yes , you will not miss out those messy telephone cables that though meant for land line phones often peeped out of the earth at the most unexpected and inconvenient places. And then in the picture you will notice the slow and steady onset of the digital technology. By the time you will reach the eventful decade of the 90s you will be surprised how the digital magic has already begun to penetrate the world in myriad ways.

You will agree that the present day mobile phone, a progeny of the digital techno- mantra has undergone a sea change from the time when it was first introduced. The earlier models of mobile phones were considered great items of luxury. Not only this, but also they were also perceived as significant markers of social status and prestige. However, these earlier generations of mobile phones lacked a number of user-friendly functionalities. These models of mobile phones came in large dimensions that made them difficult to carry around. They weighed more and offered less efficient communication services.

When the marvel of digital technology overtook the world, it made revolutionary contribution in the area of communication. The wonderful integration of digital technology with the mobile phone's cellular network has metamorphosed today's mobile phone into a highly user-friendly mobile widget.

A number of mobile phone manufacturing giant companies are actively choosing to cut down the prices of these handset devices. A major concern behind this move is to remain true to their commitment. The commitment to provide world class user-friendly communication services to their customers all over the world. The realisation to connect people together across the world is another of their pressing concerns. This realisation on the part of these companies - to marginalise their profits in order to make room for the economically lesser privileged class, that may include the middle and the low income groups – is laudatory and magnanimous indeed. These companies have launched cheap mobile phones so as to enable “Everyman” an access to the joyous moments of seamless mobile phone communication.

Some of the world renowned companies who have launched these cheap mobile phones include the Sony Ericsson and the Motorola. Their collection of extremely affordable and cheep mobile widgets include the Sony Ericsson W830i , Sony Ericsson W910i Soft Red, Motorola V8 512 MB with S705, and Motorola Moto Q8.
