4. I remember it well. During orientation for a new job, I toured the state with my boss. He had this phone in his vehicle and I was totally amazed at the technology. I'm guessing it weighed about 20 pounds (most of it due to the batteries.) The handset was HUGE. Eventually I bought a Nokia flip phone once they made the phones smaller. The good old days. Remember roaming charges? Ugh.

I remember our first car phone ... it was a bag phone that was about 5 pounds if I remember correctly. Does anyone recognize #12 yet...I want to say it sounds like Humphrey Bogart?
