The cell phone is one gadget that more and more people are putting in  their pockets. Though unheard of in the earlier parts of the past  decade, the capability and marketability of a cell phone is making it a  must have item for many.
Cell phones used to be just analog phones, with the sole purpose of  providing the consumer with the capability of making and receiving voice  calls while on the road. An innovation in the form of text messaging  followed. Many people saw the convenience in a cheaper means of sending a  short message without making a call. As messages got more and more  creative in design, there were more and more additions being made to the  capabilities of a cell phone. Text messages soon had the ability to  make their way into email. Graphics were integrated into text messages.
It was roughly during these points when cell phones were being  recognized not as status symbols, but as practical alternatives to  communication. The costs of a text message were far lower than making a  phone call, either through a cell phone or a regular phone. Many people  resorted to sending text messages instead of literally spending a few  seconds on the phone to relay a 10-second message.

Suddenly there were  many cell phones out in the market with colored display, making them  more attractive to the public.
