I was thinking of how much time passes and I remembered I had my first phone in a box in my office.  I thought it would be fun to open and compare with techology 14 years later.  

This was my Digital Personal Communicator or Portable Celluar TelePhone as it says on the box.  I have all of the original documents and box. 

Lisa and I bought this phone on January 5th 1993 for $210.63.    We bought it at Brandsmart in North Miami. It is a Bellsouth Mobility Ultra Classic by Motorola.  It weighs a ton.  Lisa remembers carrying it around in her purse.   

I’m going to see if I can charge it and see if I can make some sounds.  

UPDATE: It worked perfectly.  In fact, I think I can buy a prepaid card and actually make a call. 

Cameron thought it was funny and was amazed it was older then him.

Here I am taking a picture of my first phone using my current phone. Ironic huh.

Here is my current phone (on the right ;>).  It is a T-Mobile Dash.  I bought it from T-Mobile in the Oaks Mall for $212.94.
