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.
