History of Cell Phone Sector:

T he worlds first mobile phone call was made on April 3, 1973,


when Martin Cooper, a senior engineer at Motorola, called a
rival telecommunications company and informed them he
was speaking via a mobile phone. The phone Cooper used, if you
could call it that, weighed a staggering 1.1kg and measured in at
228.6x127x44.4mm. With this prototype device, you got 30 minutes
of talk-time and it took around 10 hours to charge.

In 1983, Motorola released its first commercial mobile phone, known


as the Motorola Dyna TAC 8000X. The handset offered 30 minutes of
talk-time, six hours standby, and could store 30 phone numbers. It also
cost 2639 ($3995).

In the very early days of the mobile space handsets werent designed with
consumers in mind. Youd need a couple of thousand pounds to get hold of one,
and even then performance wasnt great. Back then, mobile phones were
designed with the likes of Gordon Gecko in mind, businessmen-types that drove
big Jags and flew Concord. Not your average Joe. Even at the start of the 1990s
this was still the case despite Nokia and NEC entering the fray. Nokias first
'handheld' mobile phone, the Mobira City man 900, launched in 1989 and
weighed just 800g a huge improvement over 1982s 9.8kg Mobira Senator
model.

1990 to 1995 represented an upward swerve in design and portability, with


mobile devices gradually starting to appear in the hands of average consumers for
the first time. By the late-1990s, mobile devices were fast becoming the norm
thanks to the following handsets

Currency converter

1997 Motorola StarTAC:

Inspired by the communicator from Star Trek, this bad boy was the worlds
first clamshell handset. Another first for Motorola.

convinces our customers to switch to our brand. Besides this there will be
difficulty in attracting new customers.

5.2Price:

The phones that Q-Mobiles produce are usually sold at low prices(new phones can be expected to enter
the market at around Rs 30000+).Q-mobiles prices are usually competitor based, in such a way as, they
try to keep their prices a bit lower than those of the closest competitors, but not as low as the "smallest"
competition as consumers do not mind paying the extra money for the "extra quality"
They will receive with a well-known brand, such as Nokia
