World's First Mobile Phone (1922)

[kelvin6251]

ohhh ohh the are calling' o.o!!

[susankar19]

fake



[sdgsdgsdgsd3]

@susankar19 not fake, wireless phones have been invented after WW1

[johneymute]

hey i gonne replace my iphone for this richtnow!!!!!

[slicydicer]

I can tell this is fake I know this because I have seen a lot of photoshops in my time

[DundrHed]

Fire hydrant looks right...can't tell anything anachronistic about the background. A proper restoration could give lots of detail. Who knows with the kids these days and their goddurned gadgets!

[Phentora]

i didn't know they could film in HD then...

[TheRisingDead87]

Is this even real or just a hoax?

[AndrewCHartwell]

@MsIndent They had cars in 1922.

[MumblingMickey]

why do I get the feeling the roaming charges were extortionate and it didn't run android?

[R193L1]

@MsIndent what?

[nimonalka]

thanx to god for not bringing me world that time.. love my sms thumps

[650chendogg]

i wonder what her templerun highscore was...

[Gorashoaib]

probably a satellite phone

[anonymoose84]

Damn, those ladies be hot.

On a side note, I haven't had a phone for over 2 years now and I rarely miss it, Housephone works just fine and i get much less hassle.

[BeanieandCecil]

@anonymoose84 I agree, those women are very attractive. Different from the usual old footage. Still don't own a cell phone. Don't miss having one.

[joshgura]

screw phones. try meeting and talking to someone IRL. help other people.

[MiyuHercules]

My Istone still works 'mkaay

[al3699]

it comes with 200 mins of air time, bluetooth and a free hypno-brolly

[SplendidSAHILx117]

lol people used to not even mind if they even didn't have a mobile.

Now people fight over which phone is the best and what new smartphone will come out and fanboys everywhere calling Iphone shit and that shit.

Mobiles are suppose to be for just calling...And now technology has ruined us.

Phones are not only for the purpose of calling now........

Sad.......

[ambiguousrocket]

@SplendidSAHILx117 Back then I would have had to eat in a different section of a restaurant, or ride in the back of the bus. My mother would have died of a heart attack, I wouldn't be able to visit my family in Kenya. Sounds like a fair trade to me.

[SplendidSAHILx117]

@ambiguousrocket Sorry to hear about you bro. My point was that smart phones have ruined us. Everyone is glued to their phone now days.

I meant that cell phones should be only used calling and SMS purposes.

[TheJuicy890]

@SplendidSAHILx117 this is true! I see everyone glued to their computer, tv, or cellphone. (or another type of device with a screen) i mean seriously? Nobody has a life now. >_>

[MrSmeggs1]

does it have 3g??

[LushForests]

Odd looking kitchen

[Ampex101]

Yup

Still better then the Iphone....

[DeidaraBF]

And it's Touch!

[SuperJessmeister]

is that phone on AT&T

[ps3xpert]

Thank you for making all this footage digital and impossible to loose

[jask489]

Wow, technology then!

[jask489]

@YoSureet Thats right

[beeblebroxable]

Not fake, unless it was an April Fools joke - look at the British Pathe channel that posted this clip

[adreson74]

total fake.

[Qupear]

Finally, fake or it was possible in 1922?

[viviholannda]

Essa antena é tudo ! hehehe

[gusmaomarcus]

Incrível é também a velocidade de um veículo em 0:32

[KonBS1]

for some reason i just thought of bioschock...

[GR8TM4N]

OK ... the umbrella is the "antenna" ... I guess ... But why wire the fire hydrant ?

[AkvoD3]

@GR8TM4N Probably to be used as transformer to amplify the voltage...

[MIXFM1026]

@GR8TM4N Arial/earth :-)

[YoSureet]

This phone should have came out in these days because it will crush all smartphones

[TheMobileStores]

nc

[Jeroenblablabla]

[pashpush1992]

World's First iPhone

[NTLMMD]

In 1920s, people used only the radio detector without any battery.

It looks like the following URL.

Google Image Search radio detector 1920

We can find the similar radio in gw7eri.com.

[MetroAtrain123]

1922 is behind World war.2!

[Dininiful]

Why are they outside of the kitchen? Who's gonna make the sandwiches now?

[sjensen621]

Now those are some dames.

[VillemarMxO]

@sjensen621 Hubba hubba!

[MrRess]

With streaming music, no less!

[aati1507]

I love Britain.

[Nathiest2]

worst Stag Film ever!

[Famesish]

)))

[Famesish]

In 1922, filmed in HD?

[rescuero1]

Первый в мире мобильник. Круто!

[Jazzigator]

This is standard service NOW if you use BT in the UK. :(

[Kirwincom]

Fail! That's a Crystal wireless set that someone has inserted a telephone operator segment into the middle of the clip!

[Mudhooks]

@Kirwincom It was called wireless telephony. It was exactly as you see it in the video. It was the precursor to modern radio. While it was very popular for the transmission of concerts and lectures to audiences in their own homes and in "telephony salons", it was eclipsed by "wireless radio", due to the lobbying by Edison and other inventors so they could sell their own radio sets.

[Kirwincom]

@Mudhooks Smoke and Mirrors!

Receiver or transmitter? Receiver! Ear Piece only no microphone.

ok Radio's in 1922 heavily dependant on Valves, high in power consumption. where's the battry source?

Size of product, for valve and battry technology available in 1922.

Earthing to fire hydrant, indicative of chrystal radio set.

Smoke and Mirrors!

[Kirwincom]

Secondly hardly wireless! what's that she's wrapping around the fire hydrant.! ;-)

[gun4as]

@Kirwincom I think she was grounding the antenna

[caminelly95]

Lol

[triviani1234]

Hot, girls were hot.

[victor10santos]

Olha o primeiro celular da história. O Vídeo não é FAKE!

[ramonroman135]

looks like a big satellite for me .

[Gabrielhadg]

If it were to choose the iPhone or that thing. I would pick this thing.

[MrElloco1979]

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!

[BigRamifications]

Smells a bit ye olde time fakey to me.

[bruised]

Fake.

[NothingToCompareItTo]

Everyone in this video died

[gamertechstudios]

fake and gay.....nah its real

[nightkraawler]

wow, it even came with mp3 music ) 0:43

[KittensGotTalent]

Apart from the fascinating mobile phone, I like how they used to clear pavements (sidewalks, I suppose) in winter and leave the snow on the roads!

[MoshdaPit]

No you hang up first....

[unrealhentai]

es una broma verdad?

[urbstephanie]

are these real? if so, amazing!

[BeckMax]

[TheLugiProductions]

[MegaTrawets]

I bet I would never drop calls with a sweet antenna like that

[bonkasthebluetoon]

i wish i had a time machine, just to make people shit their pants by showing them today's technology.

[67tr876]

@bonkasthebluetoon Ya I would fly a jet fighter in 1880 and drive a car around in the old west

[osbely]

Gives a whole new meaning to the question, "who is your carrier"

Why it's Margaret.

[kiroyale]

@osbely you certainly just won the internet with that comment. and a place in my heart.

[osbely]

@kiroyale I am honored.

[jorbri1000]

Forget the phone.What about that awesome background music?

[TheDutchGame]

I wonder what kind of apps it has.

[naughtynavraj]

Dont think its an old muvi or commercial or smthng like that, the then videos could not be played on High Definition 720p.

[hattrickster33]

It's a fact that old phones had really good reception just because the signals were way stronger.

[MrLo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0L]

in 2100 "wow they carried that piece of shit,srsly?! it only has 2ghz 4core CPU and adreno 300 GPU with only 32GB storage,a 10MP camera and BTW WTF is Android?!,i doesn't look like bob at all (bob:most advanced waiter android word has seen till 22 century,my dogs collar is more advanced"

[megadirt]

Yeah but what Apps could it run ??

[heheheperson]

I wonder what'd happen if we gave them an iPhone lol

[rxtony05]

...and 2 weeks later, they both die from massive brain tumors.

[edwinnie69]

lol there is an ad for a new blackberry and were watching the very first phone thing

[CBAnimator]

This isn't real. Why did someone make this shite video?

[awesomeguyrocks1]

Technology at its best

[Graphicpro12]

Am I the only one who thought they looked hot?

[RustyRazor2010]

@Graphicpro12 - I'ld hit both!

[afas1976]

Only billionary people could afford this wireless phone those old years. Lol

[SeeCrest678]

@afas1976 billionaire? If someone had just pulled out $100 back then ppl would think they were rich lol

[RockalilyDunne]

Just so you know.. I subscribed before even watching a video.

Thats how awesome you come across

[gmam96]

Or you could just wait 89 years and get an iPhone

[Giberful]

@gmam96 but in two months they will release iphone 2g

[Pahjx]

@gmam96 89 years! I'l be too old then! Screw that!

[DominorValentine]

[dominicfields15]

[XDMWeaponCollector]

Wtf is my grandma doing outside the kitchen!?

[AarzonLayer97]

Lol thats just different

[zamailicious]

They had 720p recording methods ?!

[GBHuGzz]

@zamailicious no dumbass the guy produce the video in 720p so you can get a clear image.

[TheSuperfreak1234]

[TheInfamousThey]

Yeah, vsauce...

[MrAfki1]

[2014tech]

Vsause

[brucedakers]

How to get cancer quicker

[SteffanLlwyd]

It'll never catch on.

[Mrflyman2000]

Women were much prettier back then

[agahajak]

I got forced to subscribe to your channel by our Master, Vsauce

[rehabwales]

Fake

[Mushr00mification]

I call BS.

[giepske]

[Chillagher]

@giepske Have you ever heard of film, bro?

[ecksor88]

trollface.jpeg

[ParsnipsandKetchup]

Finally a most viewed video that isn't just someone playing video games - or talking about playing video games.

[dodidul]

wow,its soo diffrent between past and now

[keopuolaniskater]

i love this channel!

[KingRyltar]

haha, just like the old movies using fantasy technology..

However, there is an old photo here and there, who unknowing caught someone, using what would appear to be a cell phone, many years before they actually came out. Or should i say satelight phone, not towers back then, would have had to chat to someone in orbit. Similar to the way the old Star Trek episodes would have had you believe it would happen. Just do search.

[eibi86]

So much high tech

[icomputered]

I bet this has better reception than AT&T

[azntranc3951]

gotta love the swing music ;)

[blindingly]

Hello? Mrs. Smith? This is Mr. Prawn from Southwestern Hydrants. We show you as having an outstanding balance. When will you be in to pay this? Oh, You're eating dinner? So sorry.

[boingolol]

Works like radios did works, ONLY WAVE SYSTEM.

[ArtypNk]

Wait, what?! How and where does it send/receive the signal from?! It's not like there are cell towers or satellites or GPRS or anything. Weird...

[aaa984]

Phone bill free!

[americanTDz]

Wow, that thing sucks.

[CptnChan]

Wow, even before Chaplin's 1928 film

[jonesater]

fake

[satanicrawrofdoom]

i was waiting for a black screen to show that says "hello?" "who the fuck's this??"

[FunkyPrank]

ARE YOU SERIOUS?! IS THIS REAL?!?1 OMG!

[MrCrazzymix]

VSAUCE ARMY

[the26thhour]

No - the world's first mobile phone, was a valley.

[BlacKxShinigami]

I wonder what kind of apps it has?

[anothercrusader]

I' amazed at their lack of awareness. They seem oblivious to the fact that a man in a hoody could just run up to them and snatch the phone in under five minutes and be off with it. Disturbing.

[devynian1]

@anothercrusader those things weigh like 60 pounds so its harder than that

[jbannon4443]

@anothercrusader I don't think they had hoodie's back then -_-

[anothercrusader]

@jbannon4443 Well they did in fact and they carried Thompson Machine guns, sold booze and wore Fedora hats and were called things like Bugsy, and Lucky and Joe A. Actually they called them "Hoods" and a guy named Elliot Ness spent a lot of his time trying to wipe them out.

[kiashadowwave]

id bang those chicks if they werent dead already.

[the26thhour]

@kiashadowwave lol, lol & lol again

[LiiChinHo]

Mobile indeed.

[WillyM79]

vsauce ftw

[Shadow4757]
