It's called a cell phone because its coverage is built in cells, as each cellular region is connected to the landline network. There are cell transmission towers, and a radius from the cell transmission towers, defines each cell. So the whole country where there is service, is covered by all of these cellular regions.

In those days they used Nickel Cadmium batteries that took 6 hours to charge which would give you approximately one hour phone usage. Unlike todays cell phones, the phone had no way to remember how much juice eas left in the battery. If you tried to charge it while there was still juice in the battery, it would discharge the battery down to zero percent.. It you used those old cell phones for more than 30 minutes they could get uncomfortably hot.

In those days they used Nickel Cadmium batteries that took 6 hours to charge which would give you approximately one hour phone usage. Unlike todays cell phones, the phone had no way to remember how much juice eas left in the battery. If you tried to charge it while there was still juice in the battery, it would discharge the battery down to zero percent.. It you used those old cell phones for more than 30 minutes they could get uncomfortably hot.
That first one looks like it lets you Erect a sentry, dispenser or a teleporter
"You're telling me computers weren't the size of entire rooms back in the 60s because they looked cool, but because of limitations in technology?!"
The Motorola MicroTEC was released just 6 years after that phone in 1989 and it was small enough to fit in your pocket and it had really good battery life. It was possibly one of the world’s first 1G phones that used digital transmission technology! :)
"well ur left with a brick....cutely grunts*"
This video reminds me of my childhood... I lived at my grandparents house and they had three turtles whom I'd often feed. The whole aesthetic of the house in the video is also really similar, and we lived in front of a local park with lots of plants and trees. We also had one of those big CRT TVs in the living room that were typical at the time. Great song and video!! 🐢
Ngl, that Apple Ⅱ-style phone would make a cool fanmade project.
*The 80’s called, they want their cellphones back.*
Damn I wish old cell phones were like that first design
He's telling us as if this is surprising. Yeah, technology in the past wasn't as advanced.
Yeah like is that not obvious to some people?

Honetly that render of the old apple phone looks awesome, id buy one just because it looks cool.
Hol' up, your telling me that the tf2 engie looking phone was an APPLE product? 😂
"you're left with a brick..." lol
Computar celphone at the start looks like something straight out of Fallout or TF2
They also used to be way more powerful transmitters, because there were fewer cell towers. My dad used to work for BT in the UK and tested a briefcase phone. It even had a crank handle!
Then the phone evolved into the legendary Nokia, challenging the toughest bricks of them all
