First Cell Phone Call
“A Manhattan sidewalk near Sixth Avenue, April 3, 1973. Martin Cooper of Motorola makes the world's first handheld mobile phone call. Foreground shows him holding the brick-sized DynaTAC to his ear in a charcoal suit; midground reveals startled pedestrians glancing back and a Yellow Cab honking past; the steel-and-glass skyscrapers of midtown rise behind under a bright spring sun.”
