European and American countries to do mobile phones in the year is very early, but well-known brands are not many, because many European and American countries pride themselves on being developed countries, so they have long abandoned the so-called low-end manufacturing industry, even if well-known brands have chosen OEM early, in addition, most of the European countries have a small market capacity, and they do not need too many brands (or can not survive too many brands), so the brands that enter our vision are not too many.
1, BLACKBERRY BlackBerry, originally a niche elite toy, mail sender, its earliest positioning is not even a mobile phone, but the 911 period of World War I fame, super signal, and the name of safety label, coupled with the European and American leaders personally brought goods, the market has also been a sensation. The earliest is the so-called 14-day machine, punching machine these electronic garbage was packaged as a novelty for people to taste, and then the right eight classics of parallel goods came in, and then later, BlackBerry even and the three major operators formally cooperated, but the mobile phone is expensive, a broken mailbox function is also expensive to die, it is not what most people can accept, so, finally... BlackBerry is famous for the qwerty keyboard, a grain of keys as beautiful as a BlackBerry, the feel of the keys is also a unique sense of feedback, so many people are obsessed with it, even if the mobile phone is really unable to meet daily needs. Of course, the biggest problem of BlackBerry is not a good solution to the compromise between the keyboard and the big screen, the system is actually not a big problem, today's Hongmeng compatible With Android ideas, BlackBerry in its own system transformation has been proposed, it seems that it is also the earliest to propose compatibility with Android...

2, PALM Benmai mobile phone, is also a QWERTY keyboard known for the mobile phone manufacturers, but also through a number of systems of smart phones, that era, this shape of the mobile phone is a symbol of high technology, this big screen in that era is absolutely amazing level of existence, to be honest, although more bulky, but I think it feels better than BlackBerry, and seems to be a better signal?
Palm Treo series mobile phones
3, HP HP mobile phone, in principle, its initial product positioning is PDA, and then there is a PPC concept, it also smoothly cut into the mobile phone market, wm system era is destined to be a high-level business elite niche toy, Android era has also tried, if I remember correctly, it seems to have briefly acquired the bankrupt palm, it seems that there is still ambition, but after all, the mobile phone is not a computer, success needs a lot of factors. It once launched a wp system and An Android mobile phone in China, but then there was no news...
HP IPAQ
4, i-mate Emmett, is also said to have been founded in Dubai, traders for European and American companies, the company has its own network service business, mobile phones are more like incidental, the main wm system, HTC OEM, with low prices, good quality control known in the parallel goods market at that time, JAQ3 I also once owned one, at that time the country is still a lot of engaged in Sinicization of the gods, it is still a very good experience to use.

5, Motorola Motorola, I am talking about V3 and milestone period of Motorola, not the MOTO of Lenovo now, after all, style, research and development, concept are not the same company.

8, SIEMENS Siemens, if other brands lack consumer electronics manufacturing genes, Siemens is not lacking ah, once very popular, to sell BenQ, and finally quietly, but also let people sigh. But if you look at this look, can you understand a little bit? It is also a typical point of error technology tree and not timely, the quality is good, the shape is difficult to say, plus the refrigerator incident caused a word of mouth collapse at that time, and German manufacturing is not so reliable.

9, ALCATEL Alcatel, a French brand, entered the Chinese market very early, but the exit is also very early, the main business is still the same as Ericsson focus on network services, the current mobile phone trademark use rights in the hands of TCL, in the U.S. market to live well. It is also a trump card for TCL to attack the international market, and TCL has also obtained the operation right of BlackBerry, but...
