7. LG BL40 Chocolate

Probably the most striking of all the phones on display here, the latest LG Chocolate is the world's first full-widescreen 21:9 phone.

The chassis is a combination of metal and glass, with vibrant red plastic at either end, with the top housing the 3.5mm headphone port and the power/lock key.

It's designed from the ground up to be a media phone, and indeed, watching movies is a pleasure, as is navigating large music collections.

14. nitebot - 'The UK didn't have a national or even regional radio mobile phone network.'

I don't know how old 'nitebot' is but we had an automatic Radiophone System 4 network operational in London, in the summer of 1981. The coverage was extended to major population areas by 1983. We had a manual Radiophone System 1 in 1959 in South Lancashire and was later extended to cover London. Later there was System 2 which used 9 channels. System 3 used auto scanning 55 channel mobile but call were still connected by the operator. Automatic Radiophone system 4 ran till 1989 as celluar system took over with its base station handover capabilty. The rest is history as they say...

In America, you had the radio mobile phone before the cellular mobile phone, and handsets were known as 'mobile phones.' The UK didn't have a national or even regional radio mobile phone network.

When cellular mobile phone networks were created in America, it was decided to use the shorthand term 'cell phone' to distinguish handsets from the radio 'mobile phones.' But in the UK, the cell phone network was the first mobile network and so we just started calling handsets mobile phones.

10. @ rsmits.

And by the by, cell phone is short for cellular mobile. Check your Websters.

And how do the 'planes fly in your part of the world, because there is no such thing as "aluminum". And did you read Harry potter and the philosopher's stone, or Harry Potter and the Magic Boulder or whatever words you used to dumb it down.
