This time span was really tough for small manufacturers, because the time of life for a phone form was very short, between six months and a year, because of a new more complicated version. The three biggest companies innovated in a very very quick way contrasted to the small ones, which couldn't organised to follow. The penalties were that those companies disappeared or were bought out by others.
