As most of the major events (good and bad) that took place after July 4, 1776, the mobile phone "was born" in 1973 on the great American land, although various concepts, plans and prototypes existed since the early twentieth century . Peak, the inventors are  Motorola, a company which currently is about to abandon the mobile division.

Dr. Martin Cooper
On April 3, 1973, Dr. Martin Cooper (one U.S. company managers), was the first earthly person who initiated a call from a mobile phone. The wire end was none other than fictional Joel Engel, his great rival at Bell Labs (nowadays Alcatel-Lucent), another technology company looking revolutionaries. Discussion that had unfortunately not been recorded, but there are rumors like that Engel would be wept crocodile tears on hearing the news. But its still faster and with engineers at Bell Labs focused on developing mobile networks.

Since then, he worked hard to achieve all kinds of prototypes and appeared only in 1983 with the first mobile end-user (me, you and the rest of the world), approved by the FCC for sale. Motorola Dynatax 8000x - first phone was the Motorola DynaTAC mobil . This (model 8000x) - an "object" viewed with suspicion lay with admiration by people passionate about technology.



But not everyone could afford this phone and not everyone was able to keep it in hand. Motorola DynaTAC (known as Zack and his phone from Saved by the Bell) costs $ 3995, 330 mm long and weighed about 1 kg (869 grams) - a building in all the rules. You could talk to him within 30 minutes, and during stand-by it hardly touched 8 hours. No longer said that during the battery charge it amounted up to 10 hours, more than autonomy. Now we are causing side performances, but let us not forget that the perfect race always starts at the bottom. Important is to have that start.

In the period 1983 - 1989 they made their presence felt DynaTAC with five models, but at the end of 1989 they were replaced by a terminal far more engaging and powerful, it is MicroTAC Motorola 9800x (TAC = Total Area Coverage). The latter came with a specific loading dock and had a design of "flip" with a slider "elegant" that covered the keyboard. With it open, reaches 229 mm in length, but the compact design enabled the phone to be kept in poket. However, the 303 grams (that's if you opt for a slim battery, thin and light) imperiously demanded some strong pockets.



MicroTAC, the phone representative '80s, was available in seven versions (models) and was sold until 1991 at prices between $ 2495 and $ 3495.

Fans of Nokia and beyond, wondering what he did during the pioneering Finnish giant mobile phone? Well, Nokia has produced commercial communications and military equipment since the early '60s, but their first GSM phone (Nokia 1011) was released after nine years of the onset of DynaTAC, in 1992. Nokia 1011 is known to have some nice size (195x60x45 mm) Unlike the bricks Motorola. Officials in the 900 MHz band, and fit up to 99 numbers agenda.
