Mobile phones: 20 years old in the UK

Posted on by

Just missed the birthday party by a couple of days. The first mobile
phone call in the UK was on January 1st 1985. When the first consumer
mobile phones were launched they were “the size of a briefcase, cost about £2,000 and had a battery life of little more than 20 minutes“. So they've seen my Sony Ericsson P900 then.
