wow cells had all those features in 1997?

Yeah, once they went to all digital in the early 1990s it was inevitable. I remember back in 1993 when a cell phone sales rep from Ameritech told us not to bother with digital because nobody is using it. LOL

I remember when nokia was the top phone maker, those little multi colored pieces of shit were hot back in the days!

I think I might survive just fine in 1997.

I didn't realize AT&T had BlackBerries in 1997. I wonder if they had rollover minutes also back then?

Wouldn't it be funny if the kid said "YOU GOT EMAIL!!" And the father opened it and it was spam.

@downwithapathy It certainly wasn't the dark ages, heck even the 80s weren't, now the 70s..at first I figured most of the people posting here were teenagers or 12 year olds to think 1997 was so long ago, but many of them are in their late 30s!! That's shocking. Anyway, you have to remember that emaling and internet use was still very "high concept" in the 90s, as was emailing and/or faxing from your phone. Kinda like what Youtube was in 2005 or what Facebook has been in the last few years.

Imagine what the look on the design guys face would look like if you went back to 1997 and showed him like an HTC or something. his head would probably explode.

It's sooo funny how people seem to think 1997 was the dark ages.
