my dad had that one... and paid that for it too! I remember it... and my grandpa had the first one.. it was like a foot long with a 7 inch antenna, and it was gray like the box computers used to be. Oh man, technology... |

How can I identify with a product where the stand for the phone costs the same as another battery? Is the stand made out of the dreams of orphans? |

It's funny to think that some of us actually used one of these! The per-minute charges were horrendous if I remember correctly! |

Wow, $1500 for a phone? In 1988 the average income was about $19k a year.
To put it in perspective, that would be like paying $3300 for a phone now... |

My uncle had one. I stubbed my toe on it once when he was drunk & passed out on the floor with it. True story. |

Yes thank you cell phone..because of you no one talks to strangers when they're idle (bus, online), people are updating their fb/twitter profiles in class or at work, the number of call related accidents has skyrocketed, and no matter where I am, somebody can always get a hold of me. (drat mom leave me alone!) |
