Période

1991-2007

Canada

Mr. Tsiriotakis purchased this phone on E-bay in 2002. He used it until May 31, 2007, when at 11:55 pm he made the last analogue phone call in Canada over the Rogers network. The phone call ended at 12:01 am on June 1, at which time Rogers ceased to provide analogue phone services. Toronto Star featured Mr. Tsiriotakis's call in an article that was reprinted around the world and posted on cell phone related web sites including the Motorola site.

Fonction

Used to provide power to a Motorola Dynasty model radiotelephone.

Technique

The phone, made in 1991, is a later version of a DynaTAC line. Motorola's DynaTAC, which stands for Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage, was the first handheld mobile phone to receive approval of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in 1983. It is considered to be the first handheld cellular phone. A prototype of the phone was created by Dr. Martin Cooper in 1973. In April of that year Dr. Cooper made the first cell phone call to his competitor at Bell Labs. The phone went into production in 1983, and despite the $3,995 US price tag, sold hundreds of thousands of units. The Dynasty, although smaller than the 1983 model, was almost identical to the DynaTAC and used the same battery charger as the original model.
