Tech News : This was the UK's first mobile phone.

Headline: This was the UK's first mobile phone - and it weighed more than a baby. 

Excerpt from the Link " It was a year which saw Live Aid raise more than £50 million, the debut of WrestleMania at Madison Square Garden, and the introduction of the Vodafone VT1 transportable – the UK’s first truly portable mobile phone."

My thoughts :

I remember using a similar one for my bosses business but I'm sure it was a Motorola. Handset on a car battery !

Loved my Nokias tho - bounced causing no damage and the battery lasted over a week - ok they didn't do what the mini computer smartphones some of us carry nowadays.

What was your earliest phone and what did you like about it ?

Sorry for the confusion!  To clarify, my first phone was a Nokia with an aerial.  The next Nokia was a 3210.
