During a recent basement search session I came across a couple of old newspaper pages I used for wrapping some stuff from December 2003, i.e. from about 10 years ago with advertising on them for mobile phones. I bought my first UMTS phone in December 2004 with hardly any network to use it with where I lived at the time. These advertisement pages predate my UMTS entry by a year and clearly show that UMTS was nowhere in sight then. GSM and GPRS phones being advertised on both pages, MMS and VGA (640×480 pixel) cameras were the highlights of the day. I also wanted to compare prices a bit but based on the information contained in the advertisement it's not really possible. Also no prices whatsoever were given for GPRS. And it was only 10 years ago…
