The Nokia Communicator model is remarkable also having been the most expensive phone model sold by a major brand for almost the full lifespan of the model series, easily 20% and sometimes 40% more expensive than the next most expensive Smartphone by any major manufacturer.

Face book ranked second among Android Smartphone owners and Google Maps ranked second or third on all other platforms, making the two mobile applications the most used across all platforms. Despite the dominance of Face book and Google Maps, gaming was far and away the most popular mobile app category with 65 percent of smart phone owners having downloaded a game.

The first phone to use the Android OS was the HTC Dream, branded for distribution by T-Mobile. The phone features a full, capacitive touch screen, a flip out keyboard, and a track ball for navigating web pages.

In July 2008 Apple introduced its App Store with both free and paid applications.

The open source culture has penetrated the smart phone market in a way. There have been attempts to open source both hardware and software of a smart phone. Most notable project from open hardware development is most likely the Neo Free Runner smart phone developed by Openmoko. Lately, the Google Android OS is a popular open source mobile operating system. Nokia has an initiative around Symbian too, which has open-sourced all Symbian smart phone code in February 2010.
