Happy 30th Birthday Mobile Phone!

On the 1st of January 1985 the first mobile phone call was made by the son of the then chairman of Vodafone to his dad. The phone cost five grand and took ten hours to charge for 30 mins call time.
Arguably this piece of kit has been the biggest lifestyle changer of all time after it's many form evolutions?

It's the day society started it's roll down the hill into oblivion.

Phone wankers.

The original ones were the size of a bloody house brick!

New mobile phones are massive these days. They can be slim but bloody big. Have you seen the iPhone 6 plus? It's huge!

My father in law was the first person to have one back in '89 for his job. It was built into his car but couldn't be used anywhere else.

I've got a S5, wouldn't want out any bigger. Think it's the same size as an iphone 6?
