The telephone is a 100-year-old technology. It's time for a change. Charging for phone calls is something you did last century.
I do like the iPhone. I've been a Blackberry person from, like, literally day one of Blackberry, so it's been a real switch, but it's a great device.
The idea that, you know - when I was growing up - that everybody would carry around a portable communicating device, that was science fiction when I was a kid.
For me personally, the technology that has taken the most unexpected turn in my lifetime is what I refer to as 'the device formerly known as the cell phone.' I still remember many predictions that by 2000 there would only be about a million cell phone users. Boy, were they ever wrong!
Here's what a phone is: It's a computer that has a little app on it that allows me to dial numbers and then talk to someone.
We initially targeted pager networks, which have been suffering for the last decade due to cell phone sales.
As long as I can make a phone call and do a WhatsApp, I'm fine.
It's free of hip dialing. You can have some pretty confidential conversations and not get overheard by the camera man by talking into this flip phone.
The mobile phone is not a toy; it's a device that uses radio waves.
I didn't own a cell phone for a long time. I was late in the game on that.
So actually I only got a mobile phone the day after I left being Prime Minister.
Cellular was the forerunner to true wireless communications.
Given a choice, people will demand the freedom to communicate wherever they are, unfettered by the infamous copper wire.
I'm a big mobile fan, so I love seeing all of the latest technologies with phones.
It was a no-brainer that the cellular route would be a great success in Africa.
We predicted the concept of a telephone that isn't tied to a wall or a desk. We anticipated that everyone would have a cell phone. We joked that when you're born you would be assigned a cell phone and if you didn't answer you had died.
The infrastructure we provide is the same in a remote town in Africa or New York or an archipelago in Sweden: we use the same system, and the chips inside the phone are the same.
5G is not going to replace 4G. 4G and 4.5G are going to coexist with 5G.
I'm always trying whatever the latest telephone is.
I sprung you because I've got a message for you" "doesn't your family own a cell phone company?" "only a little one
Yes, I was the one people credit with inventing the cell phone. Now, whenever anyone gets a dropped call, they blame me.
Our dream was that someday nobody would talk on a wired telephone. Everybody would talk on a wireless phone.
Sure I have a cell-phone, so I don't have to remember everyone's number anymore, but that really wasn't a core part of my brain.
I don't really flaunt any gadget, but I am loving my Nokia Lumia.
People would be surprised to know I had a flip phone until 2015.
