During '90s, Malaysia top brand for mobile phone is Nokia since it was the cheapest advance gadget that time (other then military like mobile phone or syrup bottle which you can take to school). Monochrome screen and monophonics sound were the best. "Snake" from Nokia was the attention. The only fun mobile game to kill your waiting time.
But, since Y2K, Motorola start to enter the competition with their product. Sony, Ericsson, Alcatel, Samsung, Siemens and others were introduce. New technology to introduce colour screen and polyphonics sound replace the old technology. By 2002, Motorola emerge with "i moto" theme. User start to look for good quality and multifunctional gadget. Mp3, Radio, Camera and more start to attention. Not long after that, 3G was introduce to the country.
Nowadays, mobile phone is not just for talk or SMS. MMS, Video Call, TV, Internet and more can be done. Everything just on your finger tip.
Telephone + Computer + TV + Video Games + Radio = 2008 mobile technology...
Nokia was no longer a prefer technology since Sony has merge with Ericsson (the best technology for graphic and sound system for mobile products). Even thought, Nokia is the cheapest brand for up-to-date technology, but still consumer prefer others.
Rank for todays favourite brands for mobile phone:
1. Sony Ericsson
2. Samsung
3. Motorola
4. Nokia
(Siemens already out of the market)
What can we expect for future???? This rank is only for mobile phone, not consider PDAs yet where the competition is quite interesting.
