50 years ago, on April 3, 1973, the first cell phone call was made.
The call was made by Motorola engineer Marty Cooper. He managed Joe Engel, an employee of AT&T Bell Laboratories, who also started making cellular calls. Unlike Motorola, AT&T offered to call not from any point of view, but from the car.
The Motorola DynaTAC phone Cooper called with isn’t a compact phone. It was a fairly large device weighing almost 800 grams.
It takes about 10 hours to fully charge, and it has 12 hours of standby time on battery. Of course, there was no talk of any SMS then – it was just a phone from which you can call different numbers and receive calls. [KHQA]
