James Bond, a fictional agent character created by Ian Fleming in 1952, has met with its audience in many films so far. In some of these films, product placements made with the mobile phones used by the character have become a classic. In most movies, the character appears with mobile phones produced by Sony, but in the last movie, we saw that Sony was replaced by Nokia.
While discussing the reasons why Sony, which has slowed down in phone production in recent years, left its place to Nokia, we have compiled all the phone models that we have seen in the movies of the spy James Bond. Let’s see the phone technology that has developed over the years with James Bond movies.
Tomorrow Never Dies
In this 1997 movie, the character used Sony Ericsson’s JB988. This model was produced exclusively for the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies. Judging by the main features of the phone, we are quite lucky that it was produced only for the movie. This model from Sony included a 20,000 volt shocker and a remote control for the character’s car.
Die Another Day
In this movie, which was released in 2002, we encounter two different models of Sony mobile phones, although Bond does not use it. Sony Ericsson T68i and P800 models offered a good resolution display for that year.
Casino Royale
In this movie, there are two models of phones with similar features, the Sony Ericsson K800i and the M600i. In the movie, James Bond used the K800i model and Vespa Lynd used the M600i model. These two phones did not have perfect features, but considering the year 2006 when the movie was released, it had a very valuable camera feature for those times.
Quantum of Solace
In this movie, Bond used the phone for the first time outside of its basic functions such as calling and messaging. The Sony Ericsson C902 Cybershot model phone had a 5 MP camera. Sony, which was only visible as a brand until this time, came to the fore with its features for the first time in 2008 with this movie.
skyfall
By 2012, smartphones were starting to become widespread. The first smartphone Bond used was Sony Xperia T. This phone, which Sony called “Bond”, had the android operating system.
In this movie, the phone of a brand other than Sony appears, but the company must have been disturbed by the fact that the rival company’s phone was in the movie, so the phone brand was hidden. However, Samsung’s GT-S5611 model phone was the first phone outside Sony to appear in the movie, albeit with its logo hidden.
No Time to Die
Nokia 8. 3 5G was the first phone to be advertised outside of Sony in James Bond movies. The phone, which will be featured in Bond’s last movie, No Time To Die, was announced before the movie even came out. This model, which is the brand’s newest device, was announced with the movie. However, for some reasons, the release date of the movie was delayed and the Nokia 8. 3 5G, of which HMD Global was the manufacturer, was out of date until the movie was released.
