Collectible handset's: Motorola MicroTAC-Digital personal communicator! *Year 1989*

Motorola MicroTAC-Digital personal communicator, part of my private collection. Original, is not repaired or copy. For copies or repaired phones have no place in my collection!!!
In 1989, the Digital Personal Communicator, or DPC, was introduced as a lower cost alternative to the 9800X. Light or dark gray in color, the phone featured a green or orange 7-character segment LED display. It closely resembled the 9800x in terms of the keypad design and background and the main body. Early DPCs of the 9800X-era featured the elongated antenna base, round-top side grips, and white-on-gray keypad.

The first Motorola Micro TAC is "MicroTAC 9800x" announced in 1989, several months later is announced this one, from my video :D -Motorola Micro TAC-Digital personal communicator, both cell phone's are analog, and they does not use sim card's. Motorola Star TAC is successor of Motorola Micto TAC siries, first announced in 1996, and supports SIM cards. Please watch my video if you want to see sim card :)

I used to own one of those phones in the 80`s,

It was my replacement for the bigger motorola phone,

With the big rubber aerial.

I used to show people my phone and they used to say,

WoW is that a mobile phone can i have a look at it. LOL
