Do you remember how the first Motorola mobile phone was?

Perhaps the question is oriented only for those who are already 50 years old or older, since one of the first mobile phone concepts were introduced 40 years ago; As history recalls, the first public call made using a mobile phone was made by Martin Cooper of Motorola.

Today we have a lot of news that mentions the new models of Motorola mobile phones, which have batteries that can last eight hours or more, being also much thinner to compete with those of other firms and of course, the new concepts that are developed day by day for have a better job function to our benefit. If we wanted to remember how old cell phones were, we would say that they were immensely large boxes that weighed approximately two pounds and whose battery lasted only 20 minutes.

The first phone call was made on a Motorola

It would seem to be a completely anecdotal fact and perhaps, something laughable what he tells us the history of this first mobile phone from Motorola, which in its beginnings was presented as a prototype named DynaTAC; History tells us that on April 3, 1973 (in this 2013 it is 40 years old) Cooper would have been walking down Sixth Avenue in New York, at which point he decided to make a call to Joel Engel, who received the same call from his office. This last character was the direct competitor of Cooper, who also would have been conducting certain research to create a mobile phone at Bell laboratories.

El Motorola DynaTAC was released 10 years later, mobile phone that already had 20 buttons (very large), a rubber antenna and an improved battery, as it now lasted 30 minutes on a single charge; by the way, these mobile phones needed 10 hours to have a full charge.
