Function

To protect and contain the battery within the battery compartment of a radiotelephone.

Technical

This is a typical example of an inexpensive mobile phone from the mid-2000s. Like many phones of the period it incorporates a digital camera (640x480 pixels). This is an example of a “bar" (also ‘slab’ or ‘block’ or ‘slate’) phone. It has this name because it looks like a chocolate bar in both size and shape. This form factor was widely used by a variety of manufacturers, such as Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Nokia was the world’s largest vendor of mobile phones from 1998 to 2012. It has, however, suffered a declining market share as a result of the growing use of smartphones from other vendors, such as Apple iPhone and devices running on the Android operating system. (Taken from worksheet. See Supp. Info.)
