Wow, we sure have come a long way. I remember getting excited when I got my first cell phone with a retractable antenna! That was the shit!
The Motorola Dyan TAC 8000X was the first "modern" cell phone to have fools lined up around the block of your local Best Buy or electronics store. Released in 1984, it was known as "The Brick." It weighed 2 pounds, only got a half hour of talk out of a recharge and cost nearly $4,000.
Interesting. Things that make you go hmmm...
