    Now you know why they referred to those phones as a "brick.'

    I do remember one of the first portable phones I used was carried in a shoulder bag. I can't remember if anyone called it a cell phone. That was 1985 and the company where I was working at the time had at least four.

      I remember those. LOL. One of my friends had the first flip phone when it came out. He still has it to this day and I think the things weighs 2.5 pounds. No LCD display. You had the signal bars and 10 spaces for numbers. How far these have come.
