knuttz.net— Ages ago, mobile phones were not quite the tiny little gadgets we have today. Instead of a pocket, you needed a backpack to carry them

I think almost everyone's father that had a company car had one of those Motorolas. I know mine did. He and I were just joking about that thing the other day, it's strange to actually see it again here on Digg. But they forgot those big white brick mobile phones the size of your head that all the drug dealers from 80s movies were rockin.
The photos were interesting, but it's a pity the site owner didn't write a little info on each phone - Vintage, how it worked etc. I'm sure that's all Google-able.
Sorry, the second picture is of a Motorola walkie talkie, not a phone (notice no dial!) Railroad personnel used to carry these for communication in the yards and from engine to caboose. I used to own one too.Gerry
