This is my small but expanding collection of vintage mobile phones.They date from the mid 80,s through to the mid 90,s.They are all made by Motorola who were second too none for build quality in early mobile phone production.The cost of these phones when first made was astronomical for instance the MicroTAC flip-phone came in at £1765 back in 1989.All the phones worked on the old analogue systems so are not usable nowadays but they all still power up.The size and weight of some of these phones is unbelievable.The 4500x car/mobile weighed in at around 8lbs .Many of these early cell phones are becomeing very collectable these days.I display these phones in my BMW at classic car shows as the car dates from the same period and they go well together
Did you have any of these models ?
