Mobile phones have evolved immensely since 1983, both in design and function.

From the Motorola DynaTAC, that power symbol that Michael Douglas wielded so forcefully in the movie “Wall Street”, to the iPhone 3G, which can take a picture, play a video, or run one of the thousands applications available from the Apple Store.

There are thousands of models of Mobile phones that have hit the streets between 1983 and now.

We’ve picked a few of the more popular and unusual ones to take you through the history of this device that most of us consider a part of our everyday lives.

We have tried, wherever possible, to include the most popular phones and the phones that were “firsts” for a particular feature, but may have missed out on your favorite phones due to the sheer number of models that are out there.

We invite you to post your faves in the comments section if they are not listed here.

Mobile phones are just now beginning to be as vital to North Americans as they have been to Asians. You can always see what is coming to store shelves in the next six months to a year by looking at the models that are currently available in Japan.

North America also had a spotty 3G network that has only really been revamped recently in order to deal with increasing demands for faster loading speeds from mobile customers, whereas Asia and most of Europe have had proper 3G networks in place for some time.

This has led to a revolution in 3G phones from 2007 until now, with more due to come out in 2009.

The list does not include any phones that were not portable handhelds. Car phones and some handhelds that were the size of a small briefcase were in use in the 1970’s and 1980’s, but since this is more about design than function we chose not to include them here.

If you’ve been waiting for a Windows Mobile smartphone which has the Treo-like form factor with full QWERTY keyboard, you’ll be glad to know the HP iPAQ 910 is now available for purchase.

The HP device has everything you could possibly need — including HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, and GPS on board. 128 MB of RAM is there to make sure multi-tasking works as it should, and the Marvell PXA270 CPU running at 416 MHz provides all the processing power needed…

As a Symbian fan I would always go for the Nokia E71, instead. However, I’m also sure there are quite a few Windows Mobile fans out there who may prefer HP’s smartphone.

The HP iPAQ 910 costs $499.99 and you can grab it on HP’s website.
