Nighthawk76 04-07-2005, 02:56 AM I don't believe in cell phones. I think that they are the devil's invention.
I have a Siemens CF62T.
It's a great phone. Very easy to use, and the text messaging features are great. If you have the chance to get one, do it.

Mr. Stefani 04-10-2005, 11:21 PM hmm...i was thinking of getting nextel too...i heard it was very good.
i like nextel. i switched from verizon to it. It's really good if you know a lot of people with it, because the bleeping is good to have. Its unlimited a month so my bill isnt insane like it was with verizon.
MandieR1980 04-10-2005, 11:35 PM Motorola V300 and I love it, I went through hell paying for it though. The bitch who sold it to me accidently over charged me by $100 and it took forever for the refund to go through I had to call daily and I got the runaround constantly.

Martin Cooper talks about the first cell phone call. (http://inventors.about.com/cs/inventorsalphabet/a/martin_cooper_p.htm)
April 3, 2003 marked the 30th anniversary of the first public telephone call placed on a portable cellular phone. Martin Cooper ( now chairman, CEO, and co-founder of ArrayComm Inc) placed that call on April 3, 1973, while general manager of Motorola's Communications Systems Division. It was the incarnation of his vision for personal wireless communications, distinct from cellular car phones. That first call, placed to Cooper's rival at AT&T's Bell Labs from the streets of New York City, caused a fundamental technology and communications market shift toward the person and away from the place.
"People want to talk to other people - not a house, or an office, or a car. Given a choice, people will demand the freedom to communicate wherever they are, unfettered by the infamous copper wire. It is that freedom we sought to vividly demonstrate in 1973," said Martin Cooper.
Martin Cooper added, "As I walked down the street while talking on the phone, sophisticated New Yorkers gaped at the sight of someone actually moving around while making a phone call. Remember that in 1973, there weren't cordless telephones, let alone cellular phones. I made numerous calls, including one where I crossed the street while talking to a New York radio reporter - probably one of the more dangerous things I have ever done in my life."
Following the April 3, 1973, public demonstration, using a "brick"-like 30-ounce phone, Cooper started the 10-year process of bringing the portable cell phone to market. Motorola introduced the 16-ounce "DynaTAC" phone into commercial service in 1983, with each phone costing the consumer $3,500. It took seven additional years before there were a million subscribers in the United States. Today, there are more cellular subscribers than wireline phone subscribers in the world, with mobile phones weighing as little as 3 ounces.
Martin Cooper Today
Martin Cooper's role in conceiving and developing the first portable cellular phone directly impacted his choice to found and lead ArrayComm, a wireless technology and systems company founded in 1992. ArrayComm's core adaptive antenna technology increases the capacity and coverage of any cellular system, while significantly lowering costs and making speech more reliable. This technology addresses what Cooper calls "the unfulfilled promise" of cellular, which should be, but still isn't as reliable or affordable as wired telephony.
ArrayComm has also used its adaptive antenna technology to make the Internet "personal" by creating the i-BURST Personal Broadband System, which delivers high-speed, mobile Internet access that consumers can afford. "It's very exciting to be part of a movement toward making broadband available to people with the same freedom to be anywhere that they have for voice communications today," said Martin Cooper. "People rely heavily on the Internet for their work, entertainment and communication, but they need to be unleashed. We will look back at 2003 as the beginning of the era when the Internet became truly untethered."

The first ones were like putting a brick to your ear weren't they!!??
I remember the days when you could buy a "fake" antenna for your car! Its was for the electronic poor and people who envied car cell phones!! :lol:
Now my husband walks around with a "Blue Tooth" for his Blackberry. I keep telling him he looks like a Borg - I call him Nine of Eleven! :lol:
