- Thessence, on 05/15/2009, -2/+32HOLDING BACKPACK NOT SHOWN
- missinglink, on 05/15/2009, -0/+28These phones will never catch on. Who in their right mind would want to be connected 24/7 - never able to get away from it all?
*Updated with Blackberry Mobile Device* - DeadFox1, on 05/15/2009, -1/+28I can't wait until we look back at the iphone and be like.. WTF!
- hmphargh, on 05/15/2009, -3/+26not to be a grammar/spelling nazi here, but sudo is what you type into your computer when you want to do something as the super user, "pseudo" is the word you were probably looking for, and it means not genuine.
- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -0/+19Hey hey hey, WHAT is going ON HERE?
- RumpleForeskin3, on 05/15/2009, -0/+18TIMEOUT!
- KibblesnBitts, on 05/15/2009, -2/+19I don't think their plans cover water damage.
- seltaeb4, on 05/15/2009, -0/+15There's not an app for that.
- xenodata, on 05/15/2009, -3/+17*riinng* *riinng* "Honey, I think I'm lost... I'm at some construction site. No, I'm not making this up and screwing your sister."
*riinng* *riinng* "Honey, Which fork in the road was I supposed to take?" "Left you idiot!!"
*riinng* *riinng* (incoming) "John, get the hell out here, Timmy is ready to get his damn ski on." "What do you want me to do , drive over water?" (Hm... this is fun, maybe I'll just ditch the skiing thing.)
*riinng* *riinng* "Okay, we might be completely *****, I'm surrounded by sheep. They're starting to look good."
*riinng* *riinng* "Hey, why don't we just meet back at the house on the dock?" "Okay retard, but I'm not telling Timmy you're his father anymore." - KatherineVolk, on 05/15/2009, -6/+19You can use it as a weapon in case of self desence.
- SirBruce, on 05/15/2009, -0/+12Also, 'sudo' is pronounced 'sue-dew' not 'sue-dough'.
- wifirewire2, on 05/15/2009, -1/+13portable phone? that'll never catch on...
- Gr00ver, on 05/15/2009, -1/+13"You'll never guess where I'm calling you from!"
- kamikaze134, on 05/15/2009, -1/+12It's not a spelling mistake; "erotica porn music" is a standard Mac terminal command. It only runs as root, to keep out prying ears.
- debacon, on 05/15/2009, -2/+13He asked his wife for directions? No wonder it took him forever to get there..
- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -0/+10I had a 1985 Lincoln Towncar that had a phone installed....all hardware was in the trunk and an oversized hardwired handset up front AND it was hands free through the radio.
- mr5150, on 05/15/2009, -1/+10what he forgets to mention was;
it required it own nuclear reactor to keep that sucker juiced for 1/2 a day on standby
the groans he has now because of lugging that beast around. - drlha, on 05/15/2009, -1/+10The quality difference is most likely because it was an analogue cell phone, and there weren't 50 million other people trying to use the cell network at the same time as him.
- hmphargh, on 05/15/2009, -0/+9No.
- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -0/+8Without early adopters, you'd still be using landline.
- scotchw, on 05/15/2009, -0/+8Hey Preppie!
- inactive, on 05/15/2009, -3/+10Holy *****, did that Jeep just drive onto a dock and not fall in?!
That's some quality engineering there.
Impressive! - JonHs, on 05/15/2009, -2/+9Looked more like a jeep ad.
- kleezy, on 05/15/2009, -0/+7I wouldn't get cell reception in most of those places today.
- TheHerk, on 05/15/2009, -1/+7You are definitely being a grammar/spelling nazi there. Which is perfectly fine, and I'm glad you pointed that out. Why preface by saying you aren't? It's like saying, "Not to be technical, but ," anything.
- MyMainMan, on 05/15/2009, -0/+6Yes, the holding backpack is missing. Here's a swedish commercial in 1991 (christmas) where you can see how big it was.
One person has to hold the backpack, while the other is using the phone:

And the slogan "Mobiltelefonen som kostar bara när den används" at the end means "The mobile phone(cellular in US) that costs money only when you use it"! - alexwm20, on 05/15/2009, -2/+8that generic 80's business man is so cool.
- WarriorBlake, on 05/15/2009, -1/+7Reminds me of the skit from Trigger Happy TV with the guy who has a 3 foot cellphone and he's yelling the whole time.
- SwiftKick34, on 05/15/2009, -2/+8God those were the days.
- awseft, on 05/15/2009, -2/+8My dad had one of those brick phones. Fell off the third floor balcony at a job and still worked.
He claims to this day that it had better reception and quality then all of his new cell phones. - anexanhume, on 05/15/2009, -0/+5Watch the first mcdonald's ad in related videos. Creepy doesn't cover it.
"I like to do everything that boys and girls do." - Aard88, on 05/15/2009, -0/+5Did he call his wife to make sure her and the kid were at the beach, then meet his girlfriend at the boat dock? I think that's what I got my first cell phone for.
- scarz99, on 05/15/2009, -2/+7The music creeps me out.
- smemily, on 05/15/2009, -0/+5What happened to that show? I loved watching it like 7 years ago, then it disappeared.
- frontaxle, on 05/15/2009, -2/+7Was that Red Shoe Diaries episode?
- kahrn, on 05/15/2009, -0/+4GPS tracking? What an earth are you talking about?
Some modern phones may have GPS enabled -- but big brother cannot use the GPS system to locate a mobile phone. It's possible to estimate the location of a phone based upon it's last transmission by monitoring the cell sites that the phone utilizes. - JshMRsn, on 05/15/2009, -2/+6It's so futuristic!
- TruckStuff, on 05/15/2009, -1/+5I swear I've heard that music in a porno before.
- spepin, on 05/15/2009, -0/+4I love these old phones. I remember my pops getting one of the old Motorola ones, they were monsters and we were always ecstatic when you could receive a call... from outside the house. Crazy quickly times change.
- J353, on 05/15/2009, -2/+6"With the telephone, YOU make the call."
- shedtroll, on 05/15/2009, -0/+4Typical 1980s ad. 1980s ad music, clothes, car, people....makes me queesy...
- solecize, on 05/15/2009, -0/+4Was 1989 really that bad? I think this is a 1985 commercial that was released late in the game...
- ethana2, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3You heard it from the cell company.
Talk on your cell phone while you drive. - hmphargh, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3ZOMG OR CRYSIS LOLLERCOPTER I'M SO HILARIOUS
- upick, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3FAK that's old school, I do remember a friend carrying them around it the size of a small laptop
- DanBox360, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3for when a bunch of sheep gang up on you and surround your jeep
- sperez0986, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3* Note that all these actors were later diagnosed with cancer.
