$120 to go back in time

Here's a really funny article about a phone called John's Anti Smart Phone:

Ok, it's not actually time travel, but it's an IT equivalent.
The article features two pictures of it. It's fairly good-looking. So let's look at the top features:
- Quad band
- A ringtone and three volume levels
- A one-line b/w display
- 10 speed-dials
- Hardcopy notebook with accompanying pen stored neatly behind a transparent door
- Excellent battery life with three weeks stand-by time


This phone is not for techies like me, but it would put anyone at the center of attention anywhere. Let's take a look at the features and try to remember when they became commonplace.

- Quad band, in 2001

- A ringtone and three volume levels, in 1989

- A one-line b/w display, in 1989

- 10 speed-dials, in 1992

The one below are distinguishing features, hardly anywhere to be found, at least the first one:

- Hardcopy notebook with accompanying pen stored neatly behind a transparent door

- Excellent battery life with three weeks stand-by time
