It extended past the 80's too. When I was a kid in the early mid 90's dad brought home a couple discarded MicroTACs that still had working batteries. They didn't have service but still worked for emergency calls, which was enough excuse for me to carry one around and act important. Got similar reactions to what you described because in the 90's it was unheard of to see a 10 year old with a cell phone (even though pagers were common with kids at the time) and still rare to see an adult not wearing a suit with one.

Even the shittiest lithium-ion battery holds 1200mAh today. You're also running that at 6A, which is more power consumption than a microwave oven. The other thing is they had an entire physical modem shoved in there. There wasn't any software emulation as a shortcut at all like later phones.

I almost bought a "brick" phone back around 1990. They had come down in price to around the mid to high 3 figures by then. I couldn't really justify it, so I passed. My dad bought a portable version -- the one that "hung up," had a handle on it and could be carried around. I'd say it was about the size of a large day planner. I don't know how much it cost but the monthly fee was around $30-35 just for the service and then there were per minute charges on top of that -- no "free" minutes as I recall. The first cell phone I actually got was something from Radio Shack around 1993. It wasn't small enough to put in my pocket, but it was much closer to the size of the Nokia (it wasn't that brand, but I forgot what it was). It cost me a penny for the phone (!!) and again, something like $25 or 30 a month, but you got 100 or so minutes included. It wasn't until Sprint PCS, what I believe to be the precursor to 2G or the digital network, came out around 1997 that the service fees covered a fair amount of minutes and later texts. I think the funny thing is, I now keep my iPhones much longer than I ever kept any early gen cell or PCS phone in spite of the rapid changing tech of the newer smart phones. Pretty much 4 years minimum now; going to keep my XS for 5 or until they go USB-C on the port.

afaik before there were cellphones like that, they already did "mobile" phones, that were basically suitcases that can call, during the 50's. Also available as car phones. A bit like the first portable computers, where portable meant that one person can carry them. Oh, I just read they did some early things during WWI

All the phones I’ve used my entire life, except my first Nokia, have been my dad’s hand me downs. You can never go wrong cuz I always end up with a good phone.

It’s a shame Apple and Samsung don’t allow you to replace batteries that easily anymore.

An *Alcatel Comfort T-Com.* Which had a serious magnet holding the phone in place and battery cartridge that could challenge a VHS tape. Changing batter felt like changing a mag in super weapon. You also got a wire with a serious magnet and antenna at the end you could put on the roof of the car without mounting anything else. Making calls with it worked great and it kinda had this "military" feel to it.

What you are talking about though is the first handheld mobile phones, mobile phones actually dates back to the first half of the 1900´s and Sweden apparently had the first fully automated mobile phone system in 1956 named MTA which was for vehicles since they werent portable. I worked on NMT (analog) and GSM phones (digital and on its way out now at least here in Sweden).

My grandfather had the original "car phone" in his Cadillac. The one with the green backlit buttons where you had to hold down the call button after entering the phone number to get the call to go through.... The entire base was "installed" (jammed) under the front passenger seat and the phone itself was next to the center console. It kind of reminds me of a computer since there was a separate base from the actual brick handset... And in the 90's my dad had one of the original Motorola flip phones exactly like the one you show at 4:10 It lived in the glove compartment of his truck and he used it _maybe_ twice in the 5 years he had it. He didn't get another "cell phone" until around 2012 when his work gave him one, AND IT WAS A FLIP PHONE! Hell, even my mom still refuses to get a smartphone. But she LOVES her crappy old 7 inch fire tablet.....
