The World's Most Iconic Cell Phones

Forbes writes about what it takes for a cell phone to become iconic. "Over the years, of the thousands of phones manufactured around the world, only a select few can qualify as iconic: a special blend of functionality and design, marketing and style.

"To qualify as iconic, most of the phones featured breakthrough designs, challenging prior devices with size, shape and style. But utility and mass adoption are just as important--if people don't buy them, it's hard to say they're relevant."
