Everything started out on October 18, 1842 when Samuel Morse passed telegraph signals through water. This led to the idea of wireless by conduction. Then, in 1865, a Dr. Mahlon Loomis was the first person to communicate throught wireless atmosphere.

In the 1970's Motorola and AT&T were competing to see who could be the first to invent a mobile phone. Motorola won! On April 3, 1973, Martin Copper from Motorola made the first ever cell phone call in New York City to his competitors! The first cell phone invented was Motorola

s Dyna-Tac in 1973. It was 9*5*1.75 inches. It weighed 2.5 pounds and had no display. It used 30 circuit boards and the talk time was only 35 minutes. Then you had to charge it for 10 hours! In 1978, AT&T and Bell Labs held public trials with 2000 trial customers for cell phones in Chicago. The first commercial cell phone system was in Tokyo in 1979. Motorola and American Radio had the 2nd US cellular radio-telephone test in Washington/Baltimore. Then, in 1983, Motorola produces the 16 ounce Dyna-Tac. They sold for $3500 each! Well, that's a little of the history of the cell phone.
