The First by Motorola

In the mobile communication industry today, there are several names that are always ringing in our ears namely Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson, and Motorola. Nokia, as we all know, is the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones, with a global device market share of approximately 40% in 2008. Other major mobile phone manufacturers include Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and LG.

But among all of those brands, Motorola is the brand that released the first ever mobile phone in the US. The first handheld mobile phone in the US market was the Motorola_Dyna 8000X, which received approval in 1983.

It was in September 1983 that Motorola made history when the FCC approved the DynaTAC 8000X telephone, the world's first-only commercial cellular device. DynaTAC was actually an abbreviation of Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage.

Bell Labs first came out with the idea of a cellular system in 1947, and continued to petition the FCC for channels through the 1950s and 1960s.

During 1968-1983, Bell Labs worked on the system called AMPS, which became the first cellular system in the US, but did not design cell phones. Motorola and others designed cell phones for that and other cellular systems. Most were large and heavy, and were installed in the trunks of cars.

Martin Cooper, a former general manager for the systems division at Motorola led a team that produced the DynaTAC, first cell phone small enough to be easily carried. He is widely credited for making the first private handheld mobile phone call in history.

On Oct. 13, 1983, Bob Barnett, former president of Ameritech Mobile Communications placed the first commercial wireless call on a DynaTAC from inside a Chrysler convertible to the grandson of Alexander Graham Bell who was in Germany at the time. The call, made at Soldier Field in Chicago, is considered by many as a major turning point in communications.

While it might be considered extremely unwieldy by today's standards, at the time it was considered revolutionary, because mobile telephones were bulky affairs installed in vehicles. The DynaTAC 8000X was truly the first mobile telephone which could connect to the telephone network without the assistance of a mobile operator and could be carried about by the user.
