- Motorola Cellular Telephone, 1988 - With cellphones, users could be in constant contact with family, friends, and work, even while they drove. This Motorola "bag phone" was made for mobility. Besides the handset, the bag included the transceiver, battery, and even an adapter for a car's cigarette lighter. The phone was more portable than earlier cellphones-it weighed less than five pounds-but it was still too expensive for most consumers.
