Retro Commercial - Radio Shack Cell Phones - 1990

Introducing a revolutionary new concept... a cell phone you can CARRY WITH YOU. Sure, you have to wind it up and add plutonium, but it's worth it. Ah, the early 90's.

Oh hi, my car just died. Could I borrow your cell phone so I can jump start the battery?

Radio Shack were such shady bastards back then! That phone is a Nokia Talkman, they just removed all the branding.

I have a Nokia 101, and a Radio Shack CT-353. They are the EXACTLY the same phone! All RS did was just stick their logo over Nokia's.

You wouldn't be able to get away with that today, that's for sure!
