I still remember the bag phone I had. It was a car mobile phone that
they put in a carry bag with a 12 volt battery and an antenna. Used to
take it everywhere. Then Motorola came out with that phone that looked
like a military radio. I never had one of them. I started on the next
generation before the flip phone. Then flip phone and on and on.

Found this on YouTube about history of Motorola and development of car
radios and how that evolved to the current cell phone market.
A friend who serviced photo finishing equipment used one of the
predecessors to the flip phone in the mid 1980's, likely the clunky
ni-cad powered model made before the Razor flip phone.
