1973: First cell phone call made

It was made in NYC, on the street by some guy with Motorola (I think they’re dead and buried) taunting a dude who was his rival at Bell Labs. According to the interview on NPR, the phone was the size of a brick or loaf of bread yet weighed like the brick. It only had 20 minutes of battery life…some things never change. Now the spam and soliciting has never stopped!
