"When Motorola introduced the first-ever cellphone, the DynaTAC, in 1973, it took another decade before consumers could actually use one."

My first was a Audiovox in-car install in my 1989 Pontiac Formula 350. Was top of the line, coat me like $1500 and my cell bill ran $600/month. Was crazy. Got 10 free minutes/month. And no texting back then.
