1993 RARE -THICK BRICK/DYNATAC 8000M. 2 Batts. 349 minutes EUC + ACCESS.

This is a rare opportunity to own a stunning two tone computer BEIGE THICK BRICK.  UNLOCKED.  

In the 1960’s while working for Motorola, Martin Cooper developed the first truly portable Cell Phone.  The first call was made in 1973 by Cooper while standing on 6th Ave in NYC. 

It was made to his Bell Lab Competitor.  The original phone weighed 3 lbs and was appx. a foot long. It became nicknamed the “BRICK”. 

It was not until 1983 that it received FCC and IEEE approval. The first cellular carrier using 800 AMPS was CELLULAR ONE. Retail cost in the D.C. (Washington Area) was 42 cents (today- $1.25) per minute and the phone retail $4000 (today $12,000). The phone was called DynaTAC. DYNAMIC ADAPTIVE TOTAL AREA COVERAGE.

Since this phone is over 30 years old and requires 800 AMPS CARRIER, none exist anymore, hence ET cannot phone home.  However some tech guru with a WAVETEC600CT frequency emulator could connect and set up their own network which is hack and EMP proof?? Survivalists pay note. Of course federal laws permit!!!!

PBS, WORTHPOINT, and FORBES and others believe that only second to the PC (PERSONAL COMPUTER) these early DYNATAC CELL PHONES, changed the world and social media communication. HENCE, ALL!!! Consider these a worthwhile techno collectible investment. As always quality, condition, usage and provenance affect value.  Add to this seller's track record!!
