I was only a wee pup in 1989 so I totally don’t remember this ridiculously awesome Radio Shack “transportable” cellular phone. My first memory of cell phones were brick-sized, not car battery-sized like this one. But still! It was portable! You could use it in your car! I wonder if we’ll look back on the iPhone 5 in 20 years and laugh at how silly we once were for wanting a phone with a 4-inch touchscreen and aluminum case. [YouTube via AdAge via BuzzFeed]
