Mobile phone use history between two years of the tiger (1998~222)

in 1998, it was a year of the tiger. One of the most sensational songs in the Spring Festival Evening that year was "Meet 98" sung by Faye Wong and Na Ying. Many years later, Mahua FunAge's "goodbye mr. loser" became a hit, and the protagonist traveled back to 1998, paying tribute to this Spring Festival Gala and this song.

that year, I was in Beijing.

When I go home for the Spring Festival and get together with my classmates, I will talk about the feast and have a good time.

We are about to go to work, no matter ordinary or extraordinary, everyone has a beautiful vision in their hearts.

from a student to a job, this is a major change in life identity.

someone asked, what are your immediate goals?

Several boys thought in unison: Well, work hard to make money and try to buy a computer, a mobile phone and a car.

This rhythm is not quite in line with the Year of the Tiger 24 years later. Graduates in 222 are about to join the work. Presumably, the primary goal will be to provide a suite, right?

this is the difference of the times. In 1998, the income of ordinary workers in first-tier cities was about six or seven hundred yuan. The house price in Beijing's Fourth Ring Road is no more than 3, yuan/flat, while a home laptop is at least 3, to 5, yuan; A mobile phone, let alone four thousand, started; Needless to say, four-wheeled cars, the most popular sedan Jetta, also need more than 1 thousand vehicles. These are the symbols of luxury and status in those days. What is a house?

Now, not to mention the house price of 3, in Beijing's Fourth Ring Road. Even if it's 3 thousand/flat, I don't know where to find it within the eighth ring road

After working, I lived in the basement rented by the group near Beijing TV Station. Every day when I go to the bathroom, I have to go around the main building of the Central University of Finance and Economics. Because the bathroom here is very clean, and there is a partition between squatting positions. After coming out, you can sit quietly in the amphitheatre for a while and pretend that you are also a student here.

I was lucky that year. I just left school and entered a good foreign company with a higher salary. But the salary in January still can't afford a mobile phone with the lowest price. I didn't want to have a business trip to Guangzhou in the middle of the year, so I needed a mobile phone, so the company rented a mobile phone and number for business travelers to use. I remember it was a Motorola 82. At that time, a whole mobile phone card was the size of an ID card and could be completely put into the fuselage. Unlike today, you need to cut the card to put it in, and it is getting smaller and smaller.

hand in your mobile phone when you come back from a business trip. But after I got used to the scenery and convenience of mobile phones, I began to feel that I could not do without them. The company's travel allowance is also high, so when I go back to Beijing for a business trip in January, I can reach a mobile phone after calculating the allowance and adding the salary of that month. I didn't expect to realize my dream of owning a mobile phone so soon, so I went to the mobile phone market for a weekend without hesitation. I chose the first mobile phone in my life.

That's a German brand mobile phone, Siemens S4. It's about the size of a quarter brick, and its antenna can be stretched. If you pull it all out, it can almost be used as a fishing rod. The preferential price of mobile phone is 22 yuan, but it is not only sold, but also must be selected by the merchant to access the network, otherwise it is not the price. The internet access fee was also expensive, 165 yuan. Therefore, the full price of mobile phone+number is 385 yuan. Moreover, the cost of mobile phone in that year was not low. The monthly landline fee was 5 yuan, and the local call was .4 yuan per minute. The most hateful thing was the two-way charge. Compared with the price of less than 3 thousand square meters in the capital, think about it, it's really coquettish.

this S4 mobile phone has been used for two years. In 2, I went to Guangzhou to work, and I was going to change to a smaller and very comfortable mobile phone: Motorola V998. This mobile phone was born in July 1999, which became a magical machine. This was the smallest and most delicate mobile phone at that time, and the price immediately rose to more than 8 yuan. Even after a year, buying domestic licensed products is around 5, which is very painful. However, there are many parallel markets in Guangzhou, selling Hong Kong version machines, which is about one-third cheaper than Bank of China. However, the parallel market is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and many unscrupulous vendors often sell second-hand mobile phones that are flooded with water as brand-new machines, which is difficult to distinguish. I bought a Hong Kong version of V998 at the electrical appliance market in Dashatou for 23 yuan.

After another year, the society is changing with each passing day, and the popularity of mobile phones is very fast. Many domestic brands have appeared, and the prices are becoming more and more close to the people. With the popularity of Shenzhouxing and other businesses, the Internet access fee of thousands of yuan has disappeared, and the threshold for owning mobile phones has been greatly reduced. As a status symbol, the mobile phone has fallen. Unfortunately, the V998 I bought in the parallel market was really a second-hand mobile phone that was refurbished after entering the water. While cursing the damn unscrupulous vendors, I was planning to change another mobile phone.

at that time, I thought about how great it would be to have a mobile phone that can hold two cards. Unexpectedly, I soon saw this idea in the market. Of course, I didn't know it was a fake dual-card mobile phone until I bought it.

this is amoi A8198. At that time, the advertising spokesperson was the little swallow who was red and purple. This is the first mobile phone with built-in dual card function. So despite the ugly design of this machine, I bought it for 178 yuan.

why do you say this is a pseudo-dual-card mobile phone? Because it can't stand by at the same time. Just insert two cards and then transfer a number call to another card. So, I think buying this mobile phone is cheated.

when I found that it was superficial, I began to wonder what kind of machine to change.

originally, in the late 199s, Motorola, Nokia and Ericsson were the big names in the mobile phone industry. Then Ericsson fell, and Samsung soon came up. I came to the mobile phone market on Lingyuan Road, which has also become a distribution center for Hong Kong mobile phones. It's very lively. I picked a red clamshell machine, Hong Kong version of Samsung SGH-A48, 32 yuan.

I didn't know that this phone was actually the first mobile phone specially designed for women. Specially added some functions such as physiological period to reflect the female theme. Wonderful ringtones and novel styles make people irresistible.

I bought it for use without knowing it, and I used it happily, even if someone said it was for women only. Later, it was found that there were quite a few men who used this machine.

but this machine has only been used for less than a year. In June, 22, I once put my mobile phone on the bathroom on the 26th floor of Wuhan Plaza. I forgot it when I left. I remembered it about 1 minutes later and hurried back to have a look. After that, it was gone. The phone was turned off and I couldn't get through. I don't know who took it.

I can't help it. Mobile phones are a must these days, so I temporarily added a mobile phone number. I don't have a favorite new machine at the moment. After thinking about it, I might as well buy a V998 to use. This machine has been upgraded to V998+ at that time, a brand-new licensed new machine, as long as 15 yuan.

At that time, among the three giants of mobile phone brands, Nokia had the largest share, but I never used it, because I didn't like mobile phones with built-in antennas at that time, and Nokia's styles were all built-in.

but at the end of 22, another epoch-making new machine appeared. Nokia 765. This is the first mobile phone with a built-in camera that can take pictures. Although the pixels were not high at that time, with this function, this machine can already seal the gods. Since then, the trend of sneak shots has prevailed, which is inseparable from the shooting function of mobile phones. At the beginning of 23, I finally bought this mobile phone at a price of 4,8 yuan. Still far higher than the average monthly salary at that time.

at that time, another concept arose, that is, business mobile phone. Compared with other functional machines, the business mobile phone has a big feature, that is, it is equipped with a touch screen, which can be used for handwriting, and the mobile phone will be equipped with a stylus. I slowly became fascinated with handwritten money.

However, the price of business mobile phones is relatively high, so I subdivided my positioning. Am I addicted to handwritten money? Still obsessed with business models? Finally, I think I should be addicted to handwritten money and have a hand addiction. Then, eyes locked on another machine, NEC N61. And purchased at the end of 24, 32 yuan.

This phone has a stylish appearance. Compared with ordinary touch-screen phones, it has a petite body, and some people put on a mobile phone rope to hang it around their necks, which is also quite fashionable.

however, my sense of use is not beautiful but flashy. The experience of the stylus is very poor.

However, after that, my habit began to tend to touch-screen mobile phones.

in 25, smart phones began to emerge. The price of domestic machines began to rise slowly, led by Lenovo. At that stage, Lenovo changed its trademark LGOG and built a smart phone with 2.8-inch screen and Windows system, Lenovo ET96. IT attracted the attention of people in the IT field at that time. And because of its appearance, it was nicknamed "kitchen knife". Seen from the back, this mobile phone really looks like a kitchen knife.

in June of 25, I spent 65 yuan to own this "kitchen knife". It was also from this mobile phone that the concept of pasting a film on the screen of the mobile phone came into being.

however, the price/performance ratio of this phone is really not so good. Moreover, once it automatically shuts down due to power failure, it will automatically restore the factory settings after a few minutes, and all the data on the mobile phone will be cleared. This BUG is really regrettable. Moreover, after more than a year of use, the battery of the mobile phone has become extremely durable and helpless, and I have to think about changing the mobile phone.

in September 26, a new Nokia machine, the N95, was launched. Its camera pixel is as high as 5 million, and the price at the beginning of listing is as high as 86 yuan. Using double slide cover technology, pushing up is a key, pushing down is a music control, and looking at the back, it is a card machine. However, the official leather case of this machine is very cumbersome. At that time, the price of the new machine fell sharply in a short time. By the beginning of 28, I bought this mobile phone at a price of 4, yuan. The arrival of the new year will also open the history of Nokia's demise, from the eve of functional machines to smart phones, Nokia's last glory.

Of course, the N95 couldn't restrain my love for touch-screen handwriting, so a year later, I switched to a smart phone with a touch screen.

at that time, a brand in Taiwan Province, China, rose in the mainland, and it was called "dopod". And its name in Taiwan Province is "HTC".

The company's smart phones were very popular at that time, but the company's obscene operations were also endless. HTC is much cheaper than dopod for the same model with different brand names. Although HTC was not sold in China at that time, it could not stop the surging parallel market. And not long after, HTC officially took the card in the mainland and killed its own brother dopod.

after the 28 Beijing Olympic games, I went to the parallel market for Dopod P86' s twin brother: Hong Kong version of HTC Cruis, equipped with Windows Mobile6. system. The promotion slogan of this machine was: it is recommended that business people with a certain economic foundation start. However, the Hong Kong version of the machine not only has Wi-Fi that the licensed machine does not have, but the price is much cheaper, selling for 3,8 yuan.

this machine has only been used for one year, and the power-on button is not very smart. At this stage, HTC has a lot of new machines, such as diamond cutting, which makes people itch. So when there was something wrong with the power button, I convinced myself to trade in the old one and bought an HTC Touch HD in the port market.

this machine is amazing, with a 3.8-inch large display screen, which is extremely huge. According to the publicity, the resolution has reached a shocking 48,8 pixels. This pixel, if it is launched by a mobile phone today, will surely have a very shocking effect, haha.

Now, facing the 6-inch, 7-inch and 8-inch folding screens, I can't imagine that 3.8-inch can be called a panoramic view, and it can actually bring a shocking feeling. How did the giant screen of 3.8 bring a shocking feeling? I recalled it with my heart, but I can't understand it any more.

by the end of 21, I was looking forward to the realization of the real dual card dual standby. HTC and China Telecom jointly launched a customized version of the HTC dual-engine 9199 mobile phone, with a price of 5,8 yuan. However, since this is a special fund for telecommunications, you can only use the telecom card to open the 3G function to access the Internet, while the mobile card only has the 2G function, so you can make a phone call and send a text message or something.

HTC dual-engine 9199 is still equipped with Windows Mobile system. This year, it is almost the era when Android and Mac are popular. Although I enjoy myself with 9199, people around me have installed WeChat on their mobile phones, and when they shake it, they can search for nearby heterosexual communication. When they start playing Angry Birds, I can only watch it because the W system can't download these apps.

In 212, most of my friends around me did not use QQ, but switched to WeChat, and my mobile phone didn't have WeChat function, which was out of date. I had to give up 9199 and spend 47 yuan for HTC one S of Android system, which is also a customized model of telecom.

From then on, I officially used Android and WeChat. However, angry birds seem to be less popular. . . . .

HTC one S was used in 214. Due to the deep cooperation between the company and LG Group in these two years, all the Korean personnel I met used LG mobile phones. I borrowed it and played with it. I thought it was good I think it's time to change my mobile phone again, so let's change it to LG. Just do it, so I bought a LG G3 with my internal relationship, 3 yuan, which is several hundred yuan cheaper than the market price. The power button of this phone is on the back. When the front screen is black, you only need to tap the screen twice to open the interface. Many people don't know. So I am very proud to introduce this feature to many people. At the same time, this will be the last mobile phone with detachable battery I will use.

in 216, the domestic brand Huawei mobile phone has become very famous. The P9 mobile phone released by Huawei in London this year has opened the popularization time of multi-cameras. This new structure always appeals to me, so I did not hesitate to buy a P9 Plus for 3688 yuan.

after that, even if we became attached to Huawei, we never changed other brands. Although we were distressed that the price of Huawei's mobile phones was getting higher and higher, after all, mobile phones were not a luxury, but an increasingly popular necessity.

In 217, Huawei Mate9 Pro was changed, with a price of 5,488 yuan;

In 218, Huawei's Mate1 Pro was changed, with a price of 5,688 yuan;

In 219, Huawei's Mate3 Pro was replaced, with RMB 6,299;

in 22, the era of folding screen came, and Huawei Mate XS appeared, which suddenly surprised the whole world. Of course, the price is also a considerable price of 16,999 yuan. Official website can't get it yet. In August, I happened to visit a shopping mall and saw a Huawei store. The clerk warmly received me at the door, so I casually asked, and there was actually a spot that didn't increase the price, so I immediately bought it, just like how cheap it was.

However, the screen of XS is folded outward, and the folded side with a camera has a very small screen. If you take a selfie or need to learn traffic regulations videos online after driving license points are deducted, it will be very inconvenient to capture the learning videos at any time.

in 221, Huawei Mate
