1989 - Centel - first cell phone ad!

At least that thing has substance, you know your holding on to something, unlike modern dinky cellphones that are complicated to use, hard to hold, and you are always losing or running them thru the washing machine!

you might as well take an old ww2 radio with you. i mean this thing was  $3000 when it came out.

Who the hell would drive their jeep on that old rickety dock?

That would be awesome! And then now we would have WAY more advanced phone technology

was this is in the U.S????? i dont know if i remember it or not....

Whats the name of the song?

Dammit, my Treo 680 (which is already dated lol) is more powerful than my first computer, and I can watch .avi movies in it.

So much evolution.

Yeah, technology is increasing at an exponential rate. In 10-20 years, I wouldn't be surprised if a top of the line PC of today, could fit in a wrist watch. Then you port the audio and video from your watch to an entertainment system using wireless technology like Bluetooth. That would be awesome! I don't have an affinity to watches, but they make a good example of small technology that you carry around with you.

Well they do have internet on cellphones now so thats pretty much the whole computer. the same things you do on the computer you can do on your phone.
