Stephen Fry on the Phone: Episode 4 - Shrinking the Handset

Stephen Fry meets the brains behind the mobile phone. In this fourth episode, he traces the evolution of the mobile phone, from hefty executive bricks that required a separate briefcase to carry the battery, to the smartphones available today. In the early nineties, Nokia, then famous for loo paper and wellies, was on the brink of collapse; until the new CEO made a bold decision to focus solely on mobile phones. Nokia's iconic ringtone is a motif from a 19th symphony for classical guitar. Produced by Anna Buckley.
