phone service... Pictured above, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X cost $3,995, was 13
inches long, and weighed 1.75 pounds...
Today marks the 25th anniversary of the first commercial wireless call. It happened Oct. 13,
1983, at Soldier Field, where Ameritech Mobile, now part of Verizon Wireless, made the call from a
Motorola DynaTAC 8000X known as the "brick" phone. The phone cost $3,995, was 13 inches long, and
weighed 1.75 pounds.
Paul Gudonis, who was vice president of marketing for Ameritech Mobile Communications and who
organized the launch, said 20 customers of the new cell phone service were invited to the
event.
And to be fair, 25 years later a new industry has sprung up, cell phone jamming...

dramatically. The analog mobile phone was replaced by digital, and texting, email, music, web

market a netbook-styled device that would actually enable (require?) users to plop their iPhone /
iPhone 3G into the palm rest; from there, the handset would act as the brains of the operation and
double as a trackpad. At the present time, there are no real specifications to speak of -- just a
zany teaser page and lots of speculation. We shouldn't have to remind you what an epic failure the

This Nokia concept phone is made from sustainable timber and features an 8 megapixel camera,
bluetooth, integrated speaker, and runs Symbian. We like it when big companies go green, and this
is a nice way of proclaiming your love for the environment without getting splinters, as you
would with this other wooden
cellphone mod.

waning months of 2008. The rumored 7.2Mbps HSDPA 850 / 2100, WiFi, TV-out, an FM radio, and a
5-megapixel camera have all been confirmed to go along with the full keyboard for a launch in
Europe in the end of October or beginning of November, running something in the range of euro;600
(about $816). Don't get us wrong, it looks alright -- but would this be your first choice of ways
