First 3Mp camera phone was the Xcute DV1... it's also the first phone to have VGA video recording @ 30Fps



First Slim phone i guess was the Samsung C100, though it's not as slim as Motorola's RAZR that have started the trends for slim phones

First Phone to have dual front design= T630

Ericsson's HPM-10 MP3 player started having the MultiMedia card (MMC) slot first AFAIK, but HPM-10 is an attachment, not onboard slot.

I disagree, I actually took a lot of memorable and printable photos with my 1.3mp S700i which IMHO is still the best 1.3mp phone to this day

Just curious looking at all of the phone designs these days. AFAIK, Motorola first came out with the swivel design. What about the rest of the styles? I have an idea/impression of which manufacturers started which styles but I open this up for discussion as I may be wrong and it might be interesting

Please feel free to add, edit, correct or confirm the list with specific models
