Well, since the first time cellphones introduced back then in the early 1990s, there are undeniably several phones that changed the face of the world, err, may be not the world, but quite by far and wide changed how we communicate and work.. So here they are, six phones that changed the way we live.
Nokia 7650. Released in 2002. The first Nokia that brought Symbian OS. Elegant by design, and strong in features, camera, java, symbian, but lacks external memory. Still, this device started the Symbian evolution, followed by Nokia 3650, 3660, 6600 and up until Nokia phones with latest Symbian we see today. A truly classic and beautiful phone!
Sony Ericsson P800. 
Released in 2002. The predecessor of P900, P910, and P990i as we knew. In huge competition with Nokia 7650, this phone was among the first who featured Symbian UIQ system. It also brought touch screen ability, the first time in cellphone industry with handwriting recognition and huge screen. Also packed with external memory slot, and camera. It was quite stylish and techie at its day.

Ericsson T10s. Released in 1998. This phone defined the meaning of compact size. Before T10s, cellphones were always bulky. But T10s started the thin competition! Loved by teenagers because of its compact size and bright colors, T10s were very iconic at its time. Though interface is a bit too simplistic and lacking flexibility compared to Nokia 5110, but still T10s got quite huge fan.
Sony Ericsson T610i. Released in 2002. The phone that defined the meaning of the word "style" in cellphone industry, and created a huge following. VGA camera, bluetooth, infrared (yes that day infrared was important), and wrapped in stylish duo tone colours made people go crazy after this phone. This phone may be one of the best selling model made by Sony Ericsson.
Nokia Communicator 9110. Released in 1998. This is the phone that pioneered the modern Communicator E90 as we see today. Actually 9110 is not the first communicator released by Nokia. Before that, Nokia launched Communicator 8880 and Communicator 9000, but these models were not very successful. Nokia Communicator 9110 already supported fax and document viewing, a very novel feature for 1990s phone. Actually, the Communicator form factor is very genious if we think about it. You can use it as regular phone, and by opening it, also as mini laptop.
Nokia 5110. Released on 1997. This is it. The phone that is simply, legendary. The simple and easy interface, the generous number of text lines (at that time compared to its competitor), the snake game.. the exchangeable cover, all made this phone the idol for the crowd. Nokia 5110 cellphone is the one that brought GSM communication to the masses. May be the only downside of this phone is its ugly external antenna. Other than that, everything is fine. The sms capacity (for inbox and sent items) is 30 messages, which is quite okay for those times.
