I saw somewhere someone had taken old phones, desk and mobile and put cell 
phone guts in them with a pic processor to decode the rotary dial and was 
selling them.  On the outside they looked like the real thing!

What I recall about these mobile telephones (at least in NJ when I lived there) 
was that they didn't put quarter-wave VHF whips on roof or trunk but used a 
genuine coaxial dipole on about a 2 foot long mast installed on a fender.  I 
guess they felt that a better way.

This is from another list.  It is an interesting trip down memory lane 

about the evolution of the mobile telephone.

---Heh... I remember the UHF repeater I built using a Pulsar II. And 
in SoCal, it even had the right direction split!


Only problem were germanium power transistors that did tend to get eaten a lot.
