Re: A Wireless, Mobile Phone in 1910
Man that looks heavy, and you thought those brick phones of the 80's which weighed 2 pounds where heavy. Rudy Krolopp was the lead designer of the first cell phone (as we know it)which cost $3,995 when it came out. 
Krolopp and his team were given six weeks to come up with a working model. The urgency was because the Federal Communications Commission was deliberating over whether to allow AT&T to set up a network to provide wireless service in local markets. But it was another 10 years and a total of $100 million in development costs before the phone was officially unveiled in 1983
Here's Krolopp in 2005 where he poses with the DynaTAC8000X and Motorola's new Razr cell phone.

Anyone remember those McDonalds phones?
My mom had one of those, her first cell phone.

Re: A Wireless, Mobile Phone in 1910
I don't have one.
This was 1998 or 1999 if I recall - some deal they made with I believe Sprint.
They were analog if I recall, blue in color if I recall, that's all I remember.
