Cell phones began to gain popularity in the 1990s, although their history dates back to the earlier decades. The first true mobile phone call was made in 1973 by Martin Cooper, a Motorola researcher and executive, but it took about a decade for cell phones to become commercially available.
Motorola developed the first portable cell phone in 1973. The hand-held device was shaped like a brick and weighed around 2.4 pounds. It was called the DynaTAC 8000X and is considered as the original cell phone. The device only operated for a maximum of 30 minutes talk time, and that was with a huge 10 hours of charging! The very first call that wa...
It took Motorola another 10 years before they brought out the commercially available DynaTAC 8000X. The DynaTAC was the first cell phone made for consumers and the first of many early mobile phones to come out in the 80s. The DynaTAC, which was still large and expensive ($4,000), was still clunky and heavy. However, it wasn’t until 1989 that the Mo...
The Siemens Mobiltelefon C1, which resembled a briefcase, was the company’s first mobile phone. You will probably think this is strange, but people used cell phones that looked like briefcases, as it was the only way to have enough charge when you were out and about town. From this, phones then became more compact in the wake of this model.
The Mobira Cityman 900, Nokia’s first mobile phone, was introduced in 1987. The phone was seen as pricey and only available to those of a higher status and weighed just 800g (28 oz) when the battery was included. The phone measured 183 × 43 × 79 mm. The Cityman’s movie claim to fame came in the 1987 movie Lethal Weapon, which includes multiple sequ...
In 1987, the common standard agreed upon was called GSM. It got this name from the Groupe Spécial Mobile who came up with it, but eventually changed to Global System for Mobile Communications. The early cellular networks used analogue signals, but the GSM system transmitted digitally -making it a ‘second generation,’ or 2G, system. The new phones w...
Samsung created the SH-100, its first “handphone,” a year later, in 1988. It was the first officially made and designed mobile phone in Korea. Its display was so small that text messages were impossible to see. Only the dialled or incoming number was able to be seen. The electronic image on the display was always black back then because all cell ph...
After many years of the brick phone, Motorola innovated once more by introducing the “flip” design to the market. The name of this model was the “Motorola MicroTAC”and was the smallest and lightest phone available at the time. For a number of years, Motorola produced several comparable brick-style cell phones. Prior to Motorola’s MicroTAC model, th...
By 1992, the antennas and phone bodies had both shrunk from the days of the brick phones. The next significant development was the Nokia 1011, the first GSM (2G) phone to be mass-produced, which was introduced in 1992. Contrary to popular belief, the Nokia 1011 was not the first GSM phone. A year earlier, the British-made Orbitel TPU 900 was introd...
The first text message was also sent that year. The corporate director received it from developer, Neil Papworth, at Vodafone’s holiday office party. Neil was asked to develop a messaging system. Simply put, the SMS message said, “Merry Christmas!”
