Retro Commercial – Radio Shack Cell Phones – 1990
Retro Commercial – Radio Shack Cell Phones – 1990
Introducing a revolutionary new concept… a cell phone you can CARRY WITH YOU. Sure, you have to wind it up and add plutonium, but it’s worth it. Ah, the early 90’s.
Can u get free apps for it? Haha
So this guy was the original a-hole talking loudly in the restaurant on his cellular telephone.
that’s the funniest thing I heard all day LOL
I was born that year! Yay!
0:21 …and it’s thanks to this little shit that we’re all living through the second depression.
Predates the Zack Morris phone.
WTF!!!!
I remember my finance professor back in ’97, ’98, admonishing a student whose cellphone rang during a lecture, "I don’t see why would you need a cell phone unless you’re a stock broker or a drug dealer." So the logic of late 80s and early 90s, that cell phones are made specifically for traders and business people remained for some time.
FUCK THE IPHONE I AM BUYING THIS!
I wonder if it has LTE
Forget E mail,you would have better luck throwing it in a trash fire and send smoke signals…LOL!!.
The FegelPhone 5!
Talking.
And they said the Galaxy Note was too big…please!
Not sure about now but a few years ago Dell printers were just rebranded Lexmarks.
I want one of those!
That kid is playing on the prototype iPad.
The radios we used in the army were smaller than this!
Perfect device for terrorists before America became suspicious of them
It’s so small?
It was actually not even using the Edge network, the network commonly referred to as 2G, it was analog and it sure dropped calls a lot in hilly terrain.
iPhone is too mainstream Must get one of these
0:22 is that a tablet?
Really? Like they did with the Samsung Galaxy S2…. or Epic 4g Touch…. or the One x….the Evo 4g LTE?… Yeah..this doesn’t happen anymore
I bet the apple version was better….. wait -___-
It runs Android 4.0 🙂
Let the kid buy the shares!
how many gigabites
kid at 0:22 is such a hipster. ughh
Family nerd and their first "mobile" phone. Adorable…
WTF did the kid have on his lap??? damn hipster!
you could get a hernia carrying that thing around
Son: You heard about the Star Wars and Disney merger? Dad: NO, ITS A TRAP
Sad to say we had one.. different design.. weighed like 40lbs
It still has a better maps app than iOS6.
they need to start making these and give you one free when you buy a smartphone becasue smartphones have nothing to do with phones
I’m sure it was illegal to infringe on patents, trademarks and copyrights laws back then as well.
You are sorely mistaken, Mobira and Nokia werent a part of each other until two years later. It was the best thing that could have happened to the cell architecture. Bell Labs still had the best in car phones as they had them working off of landline repeaters since the late 60s, but were inherently expensive. I’m a former AT&T and Radio Shack employee, worked for RS during the product launches for the CT-100 the phone that stayed in car all of the time and the CT-201, pictured above was 2nd gen.
now i have the iphone 4s
3.2kilopixels camera
THIS IS THE FUTURE!
Android 0.000000000023, actually, close though. Code name: ‘Fat Free Diet Gingerbread’ or FFDG for short.
@FLOORDUHH or the flu, or the common cold, or aids, or anything, really.
one thing’s for sure, it’s not half the headache these smartphones are.
Siri 0_o?
I always cringe a little when someone says "Cell Phone"…
It is a mobile phone gawd damn it!
So this is where people got the idea of being a dick and talking on the phone when waiters or cashiers or doing stuff for you……………
A price of $3200what the fuck!!!!!!for dis kind of shit!!!!!!seriously !!!!!give him a iphone and he will get an orgaism!!!!!

We really have come a very loooong way. I couldn’t imagine myself carrying that thing when I am out of the house.
