Found this in an article about the demise of Motorola!

Remember having the first one as a toy during the 90's.

I first entered the market in 1992 with the Nokia 1011, a very tough and reliable piece of kit especially when compared to some of the good lucking rubbish available these days.

The second one I had was the first one on their list.
Motorola DynaTAC 8000X

The first was a briefcase style they don't list.
25 cents per minute peak and 15 cents per minute off peak.
You didn't chit chat with friends at those rates.

I remember my father had in the early 90's a car phone forget the brand. I just recall feeling pretty cool because my dad had a car phone. He actually still uses the same number originally assigned to that car phone as his cell phone number.

As Jimbuna said they do not make such devices with the same longevity anymore.
