Mobile phone and the Internet

History
The first mobile phone with internet connectivity was the Nokia 9000, launched in Finland in 1996 . The viability of Internet services access on mobile phones was limited until prices came down from that model and network provides started to develop systems and services conveniently accessible on phones. NTT DoCoMo in Japan launched the first mobile Internet service, i-mode, in 1999 and this is considered the birth of the mobile phone Internet services. In 2001 the mobile phone email system by Research in Motion for their BlackBerry product was launched in America . To make efficient use of the small screen and tiny keypad and one-handed operation typical of mobile phone, a special document and networking model was created for mobile devices, the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP).
