From a Wired magazine photo gallery of the history of mobile phones. It’s really interesting to see how far mobile phones have come in the last 13 years (35+ if you count the DynaTAC 8000X).

Motorola DynaTAC 8000X… The Model T of mobiles. The device was birthed from a fierce race between Motorola and Bell labs to bring the first portable to market. In 1973, Motorola’s Dr. Martin Cooper won that race when he placed the first phone call on an early prototype that paved the way for the DynaTAC.
