Item description
1993 DYNATAC OMEGA SERIES - ORANGE LED- Low Minutes, EUC PLUS ACCESS.
This is one of the finest examples the seller has seen. It has only 677 cumulative minutes of use and few signs of wear. Fully tested. Stunning gunmetal color with lite gray front and ORANGE LED display on a stunning red crystal window.
In the 1960?s while working with Motorola, Martin Cooper developed the first truly portable cell phone. The first truly cell phone call was made by Cooper in 1973 to his competitor at Bell labs. He was standing on 6th Avenue in NYC.
The original phone was appx 3 lbs and a foot long. It became nicknamed ?THE BRICK?. The first cellular carrier was Cellular ONE in the D.C. area . The phone received FCC/IEEE approval in 1983 and retailed in 1984 to the public for $4000 (today $12,000) , cost per minute 42 cents ($1.23) today.
Since this phone is OVER 30 years old and requires an 800 AMPS carrier, none exist today. Hence ET cannot phone home!!!!. Some tech guru with a Wave TECH 600 CT frequency emulator could connect. Hence some techie survivalists could set up their own network which is hack proof. Current laws permitting. It would be analog and possibly EMP proof???
This example represents an attempt to make the brick more stylish.
PBS, WORTHPOINT, and FORBES all state that only second to the PERSONAL COMPUTER these early DYNATAC phones changed the world and social media communication. Hence, all the above consider these early DYNATACS a worthwhile techno collectible investment which will only appreciate. As always quality, condition, usage and provenance determine value.
Movies use these as props, vintage car shows buffs, museums, IT people , school science fairs, all are interested in these. One example was sold and was shown by an exhibitor at CES 2024 in Las VEGAS. A CONVERSATION PIECE!!!!
The seller has become the go-to for quality DYNATACS. The seller has many more. Serious inquiries welcome.
