My uncle had the first cell phone that I ever saw. It was a bag phone, basically. You carried it around in its own little purse and it had a separate handset on a cord.

The cell phone I ever used on a regular basis was this monster:

My parents had one. It was boss. It weighed like a pound and there was nothing more satisfying than the clunk sound it made when you opened it. Substantial monthly access fee (?$50) plus $1.99/min. We didn't chit-chat. It was for SERIOUS BUSINESS ONLY.

This is the StarTAC, the greatest of all phones:

We'd all be using these today if Steve Jobs had never been born.
