My grandma gave my parents her Buick back in the early 90's (probably 93 or so) and it still had the car phone in it. I was about 8 years old and fascinated with that thing, and the idea that you could basically take a phone anywhere that wasn't wired to your house.
The first cell phone I had was a company owned flip phone back in 1996 all out going calls were free but incoming calls were like 1.99 a minute. When my mom found out I was using a cell phone back then she thought I was selling drugs or something lol
The 4 devices from 00.14 to 00.25 are extremely small compared to the time they were introduced at , and surely they are all safer from the ones we`re using now (except the hand held white one ) since we don`t put the electromagnet next to your ears , thus to your brain , it`s totally isolated in the phone , and the speaker magnet is too weak to hurt us , add to this it wasn`t enslaving us all like now including myself with all the new luxury functions added with years , and most of all by distracting us while driving cooking or even walking in the street as it happened to me 2 weeks ago ,made me twist my knee to my relatively good luck compared to others who got amputee or even lost their lives for being too busy looking at cellphones , finally it`s a bless no one can deny it ,don`t make a doom by misusing , and always keep your family and your (real )beloved ones and friends in priority .
That's the transportable. The bag was a later convenience. The transportable was a fixed unit with a battery, head unit (handset) mount, antenna, and a special charging cable for the battery. The battery for most was the type used by most full size camcorders in an adapter.
Me and my cousin thought we was all that with the car phone he would drive his mom's car and we had a car phone built in. But this was like in the later 90s when people were still using pagers and landlines as well.
Man I didn't know the average joe schmo had a cell phone by 1995 I was kid then but I guess I never noticed or maybe remember I remember seeing everyone with cell phones by like 99
Cell phones were available by the 80s, but the average Joe smoke couldn't afford them, because the minutes were so expensive. So for most of the 90s we settle for pages, they were the cheapest mobile devices available. I didn't see average people with cell phones to about 1999 - 2000
