Happy 35th Birthday Mr. Cell Phone

Filed under: Cool Ish, Technology

Martin Cooper

It all started on April 3rd, 1973 as Martin Cooper made the first cell phone call to his rival, just to rub it in a little.  The Motorola DynaTAC (Dynamic Total Area Coverage) was 9 inches tall and 2 1/2 pounds and after just 35 minutes of use needed 10 hours of recharging to get the batteries going again.

Remember when Zach from Saved By The Bell pulled out his Dad’s cell?  Brick Top.
