RETRO TECH: DYNATAC

45 Comments

1. Before cell phones nobody cared or felt like they were missing out on anything cause they were perfectly fine without them for at least 50 or so years

2. I had a black startac great phone.

3. Best phone ever made the Motorola bag phone worked anywhere never had to worry about signal.

4. I never had a pager, though my brothers and friends had one.

5. For some reason I can imagine that being thicker but maybe it was because I was a kid when I held it but it looks so skinny that's why I didn't want to buy a reproduction when they came out I was trying to find the thicker earlier model

6. Bruh – the Siemens Xelibri 6 looks like a pack of birth control pills!

7. gotta say that I’m impressed the tech, and the speed which tech advances is absolutely incredible. Just think about the fact that we now have full in DSLR’s in our phones. Processors millions of times as powerful that took a man to the moon. And audio equipment in our ears and encoders that sounds better than studio equipment in the 70s and 80s. This is absolutely incredible how far we’ve come.
   I would like to say a big thank you to all of the engineers and electricians and physicists that made us this beautiful technology that we use everyday.

8. 20 years later…..

21. You have to love deflationary exchange and how our economy works in the abstract. 20 years later we have super-micro computers in our pocket.

22. So happy to see in 2022 that Marty Cooper is still alive at 93 years of age! What a legend!

23. Dynatac design is classic. Also check out the SCR-536.

26. damn, Marty's a savage. Calls and flexes his achievement to his rival lol.

27. My dad's first cell phone was a uniden cp5000 in 1991

28. Sir i am from india and I am big fan of you ❣🔥❤

29. I still have my first cell phone at my house it was the Motorola razr v2 and I was like the coolest kid in grade 7 having it because no one even had a cell phone and those who did was a Nokia brick lol I loved that phone so much I still use it’s stock ringtone on any phone I get lol

30. You all shoulda showcased the Nokia NGage, I still have it and I still think it was the coolest phone ever. It was like a Nintendo DS with the DS game cards and a phone. So nostalgic!

37. The enough charge for 30 mins of talk time is crazy.

38. My first one was the Motorola StarTAC. Both analog and digital and gave me range like no other.

39. When the Comet Asteroid comes, there will be zero technology….and zero life.

40. Малката коврафон кифла, се оплаква, че я карат да мисли

41. No view count no down vote this is horrible!?!?

42. basically i've just discovered this guy has a Full drawer full of phones

43. Your series are great, thanks for showing us the history of these devices that were history for technological advance as it is today. Greetings from Argentina.

44. the star tac was the coolest phone at the time, it was one of the smallest and most compact phones and the first flip phone that kick started the trend of the flip phones, it's only the rainbow colour that made it look like a toy, but it's super dope, it deserves it's own dedicated video on retrotec in my opinion

45. Marques makes Austin look tiny
